Phrozen continues to develop its flagship series and crosses the 16K threshold with the Sonic Mighty Revo 16K, a desktop resin printer announced in late 2025 at around $720 on its US store. The Mighty series has built a strong reputation among miniature painters and jewelry makers, and this version pushes resolution one step further while retaining a large build volume. On paper, it is the kind of machine that makes you want to revisit your most detailed files.

Eufy, the consumer brand of the Anker group, offers with the Omni S1 Pro a robot vacuum and mop that approaches the mopping issue from another angle. Where most robots drag two round pads, the S1 Pro relies on a HydroJet mopping roller that rinses continuously while it moves. Add 8,000 Pa of suction, an all-in-one station that washes and dries the roller, and you get a robot designed to make mopping genuinely clean. Sold since 2024, it remains offered at around €999 and deserves a closer look.

xTool continues to expand beyond lasers with the Apparel Printer, a DTF, direct-to-film, textile printer aimed at garment customisation. The core idea is to bring together in one machine what previously required several tedious manual stages: printing, powdering, shaking and curing, all automated and launched in one click. The claimed result is a transfer ready to press onto any fabric, light or dark, without pretreatment. Unveiled in early 2025 through a Kickstarter campaign and then commercialised, it targets makers and small businesses wanting to make made-to-order customised T-shirts and textiles. Expect a price around $5,199 for the basic kit, a US price to convert.

xTool made its name by democratising laser engraving and cutting, and this time moves up a level with MetalFab, a genuine 4-in-1 metal-fabrication station. The idea is ambitious: bring together in one machine a 1,200 W fibre laser welder, CNC cutting, laser cleaning and metal engraving, where several expensive industrial pieces of equipment were previously needed. Presented in 2025 and powered by industrial Coherent laser chips, it targets workshops, small businesses and advanced makers working with metal. The range starts at around $4,699 for the welder version and rises to $13,999 and more for the complete configuration, US prices to convert.

Qidi Tech launched the Q2 on 20 August 2025 with a clear ambition: offer a first enclosed printer without sacrificing technical materials. Its 270 x 270 x 256 mm volume, 370 °C nozzle, 65 °C heated chamber and QIDI Box compatibility form an impressive specification sheet for $499, also listed at €499 in Europe. I have not tested it, but this Q2 deserves a look beyond its beginner label.

Mecpow presents the X1, a compact galvo engraver combining a 10 W blue laser and a 2 W infrared laser. The machine claims up to 5,000 mm/s, a 105 x 105 mm work area and a protective cover. This combination targets both cutting organic materials and marking certain metals and plastics. With a claimed retail price of $1,299, the X1 is nevertheless positioned well above the brand’s gantry engravers.

Anycubic is an established name when it comes to accessible resin printing, and the manufacturer is expanding its Photon Mono M7 range with a large-format version: the Photon Mono M7 Max, presented by Anycubic in 2025 at around $749. Its main argument comes down to one number: a 14.7-litre print volume, combined with automation designed for series production. On paper, it clearly targets people who want to print large, print a lot, and avoid watching the machine constantly.

Creality does not only make 3D printers: the brand is also expanding its Falcon laser-engraver range, and the Creality Falcon2 Pro S 22W joins this family, presented during 2025 at around $499. Its aim is to offer an entirely enclosed, safer laser engraver, with Z-axis autofocus and automatic cutting, to reassure people still intimidated by laser engraving. On paper, this approach could appeal to beginners and busy creators alike.

BLUETTI raises the bar with the Apex 300, the power station it presents as the new flagship of its range. Behind the name is a powerful unit: 2,764.8 Wh of capacity, 3,840 W continuous output (7,680 W peak) and, above all, simultaneous 120V and 240V output that brings it closer to a genuine home-backup system. Included in TIME magazine’s Best Inventions of 2025 list and launched during 2025, it targets people who want to power large loads for a long time and expand their installation over time. Expect a price around €1,899 on the European store for the main unit.
