SHENZHEN, China, Nov. 5, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- On
November 1st, Makeblock announced
that their Kickstarter campaign for xTool M1, the first hybrid
laser and blade cutting machine, was fully funded in 15 minutes and
the brand had raised $1M within the
first five days. There are 34 days remaining in the crowdfunding
campaign, where DIY lovers may purchase the machine at the
best-ever price before it launches at retail. The 5W laser power
model starts at $699 (MSRP
$1,299), the 10W model starts at
$799 (MSRP $1,499), and a rotary attachment that unlocks
360° engraving for cylindrical objects is available as an add-on
for $99 (MSRP $129).
"Makeblock got its humble beginnings eight years ago after
launching our first project on Kickstarter," said Jasen Wang, Makeblock Founder & CEO. "Today,
we want to express our gratitude again to the amazing backer
community for their support in helping us bring xTool M1 to life
and empower individuals to enjoy the fun of creating at home."
In terms of next steps for the campaign, Makeblock is on track
to receive FDA/FCC/CE-LVD/EMC certifications before March 2022, which are necessary for delivering
the product to the US, EU and most areas in the world. The brand is
also in the process of building an xTool community for all of their
users to learn, create, and share. It will provide multiple project
cases with detailed instructions including digital design files,
step-by-step instructions, materials checklists, and parameter
settings, plus millions of digital design files for users to
download. Campaign stretch goals will be announced shortly.
"Our goal was to create a powerful tool for everyone; one that
brought users more possibilities in material choices and to free
their creativity," continued Wang. "Thanks to the Kickstarter
community we can bring hybrid laser and blade power to the masses,
at an affordable price."
The estimated delivery date of xTool M1 is March 2022. Media wishing to interview their
personnel should contact PR agent Borjana Slipicevic.
