    Anker, a company known for its reliable electronics, is officially stepping back from the 3D printing market. The announcement comes amid persistent supply chain issues that have made it impossible for the company to secure key components for its FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers.

    The move was confirmed by Anker spokesperson Brett White in an interview with The Verge. White explained that the company could no longer source essential parts for its flagship models, the AnkerMake M5 and M5C, both sold under the EufyMake brand. As a result, not only have the printers been discontinued, but replacement parts and accessories are also being phased out.

    While the M5 and M5C were praised for their sleek design and user-friendly features, the supply issues proved insurmountable. Despite this exit from the FDM market, Anker has not entirely abandoned 3D-related tech. A UV printer—capable of printing on materials like textiles and wood—remains available on their site. However, this device operates in a different category and is unaffected by the component shortages impacting FDM systems.

    Anker’s withdrawal underscores the volatility of the 3D printing industry, where innovation often clashes with logistical realities. As the company shifts its focus, it remains to be seen whether it will re-enter the market in the future—should conditions improve.
