Anycubic raises hundreds of millions of yuan in Series B for global consumer 3D printing expansion

Anycubic, the Shenzhen-based consumer 3D printing brand, has closed a Series B funding round worth hundreds of millions of yuan (approximately tens of millions of USD). The round was co-led by Da Chen Capital and Guotai Haitong, with participation from Challenger Capital, Mirae Asset Capital (China), and Qingbo Fund. Blacksheep Technology served as exclusive financial advisor. The company plans to allocate the capital toward FDM multi-color/multi-material printing, high-end resin (VPP) products, core hardware and software, new material systems, and global channel and localized service capabilities.
This funding round arrives at a moment when the consumer 3D printing market is bifurcating. On one side, FDM/FFF is moving from single-color prototyping toward multi-color, near-finished goods - a shift Anycubic accelerated in late 2023 with its Kobra X, S1 Combo, and S1 Max lines. On the other side, resin-based VPP (SLA/DLP) remains the precision workhorse for jewelry, dental models, and small-batch production, where Anycubic's Photon series has long held strong brand recognition. The company now claims over 700 global patents, annual production capacity in the millions of units, and distribution to 200+ countries. This dual-track strategy mirrors the broader industry pattern where consumer AM is splitting into accessible multi-color FDM for hobbyists and high-precision resin for prosumers and small studios.
For Anycubic, the challenge is execution at scale. The company must now convert its R&D pipeline into reliable, repeatable products that can sustain global demand without quality regressions. The investor base - a mix of Chinese venture capital and cross-border funds - signals confidence in the company's ability to navigate supply chain, localization, and after-sales service across diverse markets. The real test will be whether Anycubic can maintain its product velocity while building the service infrastructure that separates a durable brand from a flash-in-the-pan hardware play.
