Nanjixiong learned on October 23, 2026, that the Morpho desktop UV printer from Shenzhen Ruyuan Technology closed its Kickstarter campaign at USD 10.45 million against an initial USD 50,000 goal—209 times the target. After the campaign launched on August 20, it passed USD 1 million in two minutes. It attracted 2,918 backers, averaging about USD 3,580 per backer.
Morpho was founded by Wang Mingyu, a former DJI vice president of R&D. The printer supports color and raised-relief printing on objects and materials such as phone cases, wooden plaques, and cups. Early-bird prices were USD 1,599 for the standard version and USD 2,799 for the Pro. The machine has an open ink system, with CMYK ink bottles priced at USD 13.99; the company advertises maintenance costs 90% lower than comparable products. Public information indicates that Ruyuan Technology's parent company completed a Series B round worth hundreds of millions of yuan in July, with investors including Sequoia and L'Oréal.
Nanjixiong's observations
Desktop UV printing and 3D printing are both part of desktop digital manufacturing. Anker's eufyMake E1 previously set a USD 46.76 million Kickstarter record. High average order values and open consumables models are becoming new approaches for desktop manufacturing equipment.
