PS1 Classic Playable Diorama

This is a truly excellent video with a fun little storyline, excellent design and craftwork, and captures the essence of the original PlayStation in a miniature, playable form. Congratulations on your well-deserved victory!

Saturn V

Winner: @WhiskyClubCanada WhiskyClubCanada took us to new heights with their stunning Saturn V model – a real, working “Snapmaker-V” rocket!! The attention to detail and craftsmanship in recreating this iconic space vehicle, launch facilities, and super cool controller are truly out of this world. Well done!

Incredible Catan Board

Winner: @erikbfriedman Erikbfriedman wowed us with their Incredible Catan Board. The Snapmaker’s 3D Printing, CNC, and Laser functions combined into creating an amazing base for the project, and your additional work such as painting, flocking, and other odds and ends made this a truly special piece. We hope you and your family enjoy your boardgame nights together!

The theme of our celebration this year is Play Well. Play Well reminds us of our youth, of fun and exploration, and why we started Snapmaker in the first place.

Join us in our celebration, as we renew our commitment to innovation and creativity – together.

Makerathon: A 48-Hour Creative Challenge

As part of the anniversary festivities, Snapmaker will host a two-day Makerathon on May 31st and June 1st. During this 48-hour event, Snapmaker employees will form 10 teams, each tasked with “Making Something Wonderful.” Leveraging Snapmaker’s advanced 3-in-1 3D printers, which combine 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving, and CNC milling capabilities, teams will create a variety of playful and functional items. These creations might include games, sports equipment, friendly robots, toys, musical instruments, and more. This event showcases Snapmaker’s commitment to fostering creativity and teamwork among its employees.

Join The Makerathon!
