Anycubic at Ten: Empowering 5 Million Makers with a Decade of Democratized 3D Printing

SHENZHEN, China, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — This September, Anycubic celebrates its 10th anniversary, a milestone that marks a decade of technological advancement and a shared journey with a global community of creators. What began as a small team assembling its first prototype in a humid Shenzhen office has grown into a leading force in consumer 3D printing, empowering innovation in over 200 countries and regions.


Anycubic 10th Anniversary – 10 years. Millions of makers. Countless stories.

Founded in 2015 as consumer 3D printing was taking its first steps, Anycubic’s growth to a community of nearly 5 million users has been guided by a simple principle: listen. The company’s product evolution has been driven not by technology alone, but by the vital feedback of artists, educators, engineers, and hobbyists, ensuring that every innovation solves a real need.

“Ten years on, what matters most isn’t the machines we’ve built, but the people using them,” said James Ouyang, co-founder and CTO of Anycubic. “Our goal has always been simple: make 3D printing easier, more reliable, and open to everyone—and we’re just getting started.”

Twin Pillars of Innovation: FDM and Resin

Anycubic’s strategy rests on two core product families: the Kobra filament (FDM) series and the Photon resin series. Together, they anchor a comprehensive ecosystem supported by dedicated consumables, accessories like wash and cure stations, and in-house software such as Anycubic Slicer Next, culminating in the Makeronline community platform that connects and inspires users worldwide.

Recent years have delivered key breakthroughs. In 2024, the launch of the Kobra 3 Combo brought advanced multi-color printing into the sub-$1,000 range, making a once niche technology broadly accessible. Later that year, the Kobra S1 Combo debuted with a fully enclosed CoreXY motion system, combining high-speed, precision, and up to eight-color printing in a fully enclosed, user-friendly machine. These launches crystallized the company’s mission: to democratize advanced 3D printing features for the many, not the few.

Market Success and Critical Acclaim

This vision has found resounding validation in the market. The Kobra 3 Combo rapidly dominated multi-color 3D printer sales on Amazon US, reinforcing Anycubic’s leading position across Europe. The unveiling of the Kobra S1 Combo at Formnext Frankfurt 2024 generated unprecedented interest, driving traffic to Anycubic’s official website to more than double the combined total of the previous two years.

Beyond commercial success, Anycubic has consistently been recognized by industry experts and publications like Forbes, CNET, and Tom’s Hardware for its balance of quality, reliability, and affordability. The company’s commitment to thoughtful design has been affirmed by prestigious awards, including the Red Dot Design Award, iF Design Award, and A’Design Award. This collective recognition underscores a broad consensus: Anycubic has earned the trust of both professionals and everyday makers.

“As we step into our second decade, we aim to make Anycubic not only a printer provider, but a trusted partner in every maker’s creative journey—from classrooms to studios to workshops,” said Ancen, VP of Anycubic.

This spirit of partnership defines how Anycubic is celebrating its 10th anniversary with its community.

A Month of Celebration

To express gratitude to its global community, Anycubic is rolling out special 10th-anniversary promotions with discounts of up to 50% off, together with creative campaigns under the theme Love and Share” throughout September—celebrating not just technology, but the connections and ideas that unite makers worldwide. From September 2nd to October 8th, customers purchasing selected printer models will receive an extended warranty on vulnerable parts, while Anycubic’s partnership with Seel ensures triple protection against loss, damage, and delay for online orders—adding peace of mind to every celebration.

As Anycubic enters its second decade, its focus is not only on advancing technology, but on helping imagination find form—empowering makers everywhere to turn their boldest ideas into reality—printing the future, one layer at a time.

6G Integrated Sensing and Communications Offers Mobile Operators a Unique Chance to Redefine Networks

NEW YORK, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Integrated Sensing and Communications (ISAC) is a key concept being developed for 6G, which transforms cellular networks into radars and allows them to both sense their environment and communicate information about it. Although there are significant technical challenges to bring this to market, it is a concept that can revolutionize mobile networks and allow Mobile Network Operators (MNOs) to finally become much more than a data pipe, according to ABI Research, a global technology intelligence firm. The commercial opportunities for ISAC are substantial and offer MNOs a chance to get into new markets, parts of which are not served by other technologies or companies.

“ISAC is a unique opportunity for mobile operators to break free of their connectivity legacy,” said Dimitris Mavrakis, Senior Research Director at ABI Research. “Coupled with network APIs, they can become brokers for location and positioning across their network footprint, helping enterprises locate their assets and protect their locations. Mobile operators cannot afford to ignore ISAC, as it is key for them to continue growing their business. It is the first truly innovative concept discussed for cellular networks since 4G introduced mobile broadband.”

In 2025, vendors and mobile operators are conducting live commercial trials to understand the technical and commercial implications of deploying ISAC, while ETSI, 3GPP, and other industry bodies are continuing their standardization efforts. Initial trials in China indicate that there is some commercial interest in sensing, mostly driven by the low-altitude economy, but it is still too early to understand if the new technology makes commercial sense. The challenge is compounded by the fact that a fully capable ISAC radio is not backward compatible with existing 5G infrastructure, meaning that an upgrade could cost upwards of $50,000 to $100,000 per cell site. This may not be something mobile operators are willing to risk at the current stage of the market, but demand and economies of scale will bring prices down while exposing the market to ISAC’s capabilities.

ISAC is a unique and challenging opportunity, and vendors are currently investing in R&D and filing for relevant patents. Although it’s early, ISAC has the capability to completely redefine the market and upset the long-established dynamics while creating burgeoning new ecosystem. As such, early adopters are starting to assess the technology today, when the interest, hype, and investment around ISAC is just ramping up.

These findings are from ABI Research’s Integrated Sensing and Communications: Market Developments & Use Case Analysis report, part of the company’s 5G, 6G, and Open RAN research service, which includes research, data, and ABI Insights.

“ZEISS continues to introduce advanced optical and digital innovation to meet the expanding needs of Europe’s leading refractive and cataract surgeons,” says Magnus Reibenspiess, Head of Strategic Business Unit Ophthalmology at ZEISS Medical Technology. “From major industry milestones to new digital workflow solutions, our industry leadership shines bright, setting new standards for ophthalmic care.”

Advancements deliver improved efficiencies in surgical planning

From advanced imaging to cloud-enabled data access, ZEISS diagnostic and digital solutions integrated into ophthalmic workflows can help surgeons visualize more, connect insights across a workflow, and make data-driven decisions, including earlier detection of eye conditions that may affect surgical planning and outcomes. At ESCRS, ZEISS will demonstrate a fully integrated solution connecting cataract and glaucoma workflows to support more efficient and confident decision making.

Glaucoma is the most common comorbidity in cataract surgery. According to a recent study1, around 20% of patients who undergo cataract procedures also have glaucoma or ocular hypertension. ZEISS offers integrated diagnostic and therapeutic solutions to support earlier detection and management of glaucoma in cataract patients, helping to improve long-term outcomes of cataract surgery. Devices including the ZEISS SL 800, CLARUS®, CIRRUS® OCT, ARTEVO® 750, and VISULAS® combi (yag/slt) are shared across the cataract and glaucoma workflows and seamlessly connected via FORUM® for complete data continuity.

“It’s an exciting time to be an ophthalmologist. I’m extremely grateful to companies like ZEISS Medical Technology, that bring us products which are truly game changers in the care of our glaucoma and cataract patients,” said Dr. Steven Vold, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Vold Vision (Florida, USA).

ZEISS will also showcase CIRRUS® PathFinder, which recently received CE mark approval, an innovative clinical support tool with artificial intelligence (AI) fully integrated to enable more confident decision-making and accelerate a clinician’s patient care workflow with OCT interpretation assistance, supporting improved surgical planning, particularly for high-volume clinics.

ZEISS continues to extend its global refractive industry momentum with the celebration of more than 12 million eyes treated with ZEISS SMILE and ZEISS SMILE pro, reflecting the growing international adoption of the technology for a minimal invasive lenticule extraction procedure. The company is also celebrating one year of SMILE® pro for treating hyperopia, now available in 56 countries. ZEISS is the only provider offering a treatment for hyperopia with lenticule extraction, representing a promising advancement in refractive surgery with outcomes comparable to hyperopic LASIK. ZEISS SMILE and ZEISS SMILE pro continue to be leading solutions trusted by surgeons for the technology’s proven reliability and effective treatment with the VisuMax® and VISUMAX® 800 from ZEISS.

ESCRS attendees can learn more about the latest refractive offerings within the ZEISS Corneal Refractive Workflow at the ZEISS booth #C1.130, including a presentation on Sunday, Sept. 14, at 10:00 AM CET from Prof. Dr. Dan Reinstein, London Vision Clinic (UK), who will share his expert insights and valuable firsthand experience with ZEISS SMILE pro for hyperopia.

Celebrating industry milestones and unparalleled optics within an integrated cataract workflow

Setting new standards in surgical excellence, ZEISS is delivering industry-leading efficiency through digitally integrated solutions and unparalleled optics. At ESCRS, the ZEISS Cataract Workflow will include a robust portfolio of surgical solutions, including the 3D heads-up technology of the ZEISS ARTEVO 850, optical visualization with a novel light source with the ZEISS ARTEVO 750, the ZEISS EQ Workplace and ZEISS Surgery Planner digital cataract planning solutions, and the patented ZEISS QUATTRO pump of the QUATERA® 700 from ZEISS to experience chamber stability independent of IOP and flow. ZEISS will also showcase next to its primary cataract workflow the DORC EVA NEXUS™ platform, uniquely suited to address both retina and cataract surgery, now with availability of angled EquiPhaco designed for optimal irrigation flow. EquiPhaco, combined with EVA NEXUS SMART IOP™, allows for a more stable, lower anterior chamber pressure during procedures.

ZEISS is also celebrating key product milestones, including a special event with Dr. Elena Barraquer in the ZEISS booth #C1.130 on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 3:00 PM CET to highlight more than 10 million cataract surgeries conducted using VisionBlue® anterior stain from DORC, reflecting the solution’s continued leadership in the market as the only trypan blue stain for anterior use approved by the FDA and now approved for staining of Descemet’s membrane and trabecular meshwork.

Additionally, ZEISS is celebrating IOL clinical milestones which reflect the company’s expertise in optics, featuring two distinct high-quality biomaterials and lens designs. Dr. Andrea Janeková from Eye Center Prague in Czech Republic says, “As the first peer-reviewed study on the AT ELANA® 841P, the data confirm that it delivers excellent distance, intermediate, and near vision with minimal photic phenomena, meeting the expectations of both surgeons and patients. What stood out most to me was the smooth and extended defocus profile of the AT ELANA 841P, which translated into functional vision across a wide range and high patient satisfaction.” Dr. Mfazo Hove from Blue Fin Vision in the UK says, “I knew the AT LISA® tri lenses were good – my patients repeatedly told me. They have exceeded all my expectations since having them implanted 18 months ago. I might even have become a better surgeon – the numbers don’t lie. PC rupture 0.2% off 5,600 operations in 12 months down from 0.27%.”

As part of an IOL clinical milestone celebration in the ZEISS booth #C1.130 on Saturday, Sept. 13, at 10:00 AM CET, the ZEISS IOL portfolio will be validated through multiple clinical studies and direct ZEISS IOL experience presented by industry experts including Prof. Gerd U. Auffarth (Heidelberg, Germany) and Dr. Kyungmin Koh (Seoul, Republic of Korea), as well as Dr. Andrea Janeková and Dr. Mfazo Hove.

ZEISS will showcase its latest offerings and new innovations at the European Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgeons (ESCRS) conference from Sept. 12 – 15, 2025, at booth #C1.130.

BitMine Immersion (BMNR) Announces Release of August Investor Presentation and Latest Video Message from Tom Lee, Chairman

BMNR investor presentation walks you through “the Alchemy of 5%”

BitMine Crypto + Cash Holdings of $8.98 billion, including 1.87 million ETH Tokens

BitMine remains supported by a premier group of institutional investors including ARK’s Cathie Wood, MOZAYYX, Founders Fund, Bill Miller III, Pantera, Kraken, DCG, and Galaxy Digital to support BitMine’s goal of acquiring 5% of ETH

LAS VEGAS, Sept. 2, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — (NYSE AMERICAN: BMNR) BitMine Immersion Technologies (“BitMine” or the “Company”) today announced the release of the latest investor presentation deck on its website titled “the Alchemy of 5%” and August monthly video series called “The Chairman’s Message.”

Hosted by Thomas “Tom” Lee, Chairman of BitMine and co-founder of Fundstrat, the Chairman’s Message video series was developed to help inform investors on the long-term upside of Ethereum and to provide insights into the company’s ETH treasury strategy. The investor presentation, titled “the Alchemy of 5%,” accompanies the video.

“In this latest message, we discuss how 2025 and the SEC Project Crypto and GENIUS Act are creating a multi-decade opportunity for ethereum and ETH, similar to the transformation seen on Wall Street after the USD formally went off the gold standard in 1971. While many investors bought Gold in 1971, the real opportunity was seen by the massive innovation unleashed by Wall Street in the decades after 1971. This same supercycle is happening today for ethereum” said Tom Lee, Chairman of BitMine.

Also, BitMine today announced crypto + cash holdings of $8.98 billion. As of August 31st at 5:00pm ET, the Company’s crypto holdings are comprised of 1,866,974 ETH at $4,458 per ETH (Bloomberg), 192 Bitcoin (BTC) and unencumbered cash of $635 million.

BitMine crypto holdings reigns as the #1 Ethereum treasury and #2 global treasury, behind Strategy Inc. (MSTR), which owns 629,376 BTC valued at $71 billion

BitMine remains the largest ETH treasury in the world. BitMine launched its ETH Treasury strategy on June 30th (closing on July 8th). In the ensuing seven weeks, the Company has passed many key milestones. 

The GENIUS Act and SEC’s Project Crypto are as transformational to financial services in 2025 as US action on August 15, 1971 ending Bretton Woods and the USD on the gold standard 54 years ago. This 1971 event was the catalyst for the modernization of Wall Street, creating the iconic Wall Street titans and financial and payment rails of today. These proved to be better investments than gold.

“We continue to believe Ethereum is one of the biggest macro trades over the next 10-15 years,” continued Lee. “Wall Street and AI moving onto the blockchain should lead to a greater transformation of today’s financial system. And the majority of this is taking place on Ethereum.”

BitMine is now one of the most widely traded stocks in the US. According to data from Fundstrat, the stock has traded average daily dollar volume of $2.3 billion (5-day average, as of August 24, 2025), ranking #22 in the US, behind Costco (rank #21) and ahead of JPMorgan (rank #27) and Marvel Technologies (rank #23) among 5,704 US-listed stocks (statista.com and Fundstrat research).
