China is becoming quite the 3D printing superpower. Although there are the usual pop-up companies, which simply copy ideas of established European and American products, there are other companies like ATSmake that are innovating, creating their own unique printers for this expanding market.
Shenzhen-based ATSmake (Artisan Make) was launched back in September of 2011, and has slowly been expanding their 3D printing product offerings. In September of last year they unveiled their ‘Make’ SLA printer, followed by the release of their ‘Mars’ FFF machine in December. Here we are four months later and the company has just announced a laundry list of new 3D printers they will soon be making available.
Ranging in all sizes and price ranges, this announcement certainly puts ATSmake, at, or close to, the top of the Chinese desktop 3D printing space. Below you will find each machine along with their general specifications:
ATSmake Jupiter 2

- Printing Accuracy: 0.1mm – Positional Accuracy: X/Y (6 microns), Z (1.5 microns)
- Printer Weight: 25kg
- Printer Size: 450 x 360 x 560 mm

The company has also just announced a range of five different machines, all with varying build volumes. In order from small to large, these include the ATSmake 250, ATSmake 300, ATSmake 450, ATSmake 500, and ATSmake 600. Below you will find the shared specifications that these five machines include:
