The all-in-one creative machine combining Auto Heat Press, 3D Sublimation, Vacuum Forming, DTF Curing and Craft Baking launches on Kickstarter on April 28, 2026

Neuss, Germany, April 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — xTool, the world’s #1 desktop creative tools brand with over 500,000 users across 60+ countries, today announces the Kickstarter launch of the xTool WonderPress, the world’s first 5-in-1 Heat Creative Hub designed for makers, home-based apparel businesses, and creative entrepreneurs. The xTool WonderPress will officially launch on Kickstarter on April 28 at 18:00 PDT. Ahead of the campaign, creators can visit the xTool website now to explore the product and secure a £10 pre-sale reservation. This reservation locks in the Super Early Bird price starting at £249 (MSRP £349) and includes a complimentary £50 material bundle.

The WonderPress redefines what a heat press can do. With three easily swappable modules, users can master five distinct creative processes in one compact machine: Auto Heat Press, 3D Sublimation, Vacuum Forming, DTF Curing, and Craft Baking. For the first time, a single desktop device gives creators and small business owners access to a complete suite of heat-based creative tools — without the cost, space, or complexity of industrial equipment.

Three Modules. Five Professional Techniques.

The WonderPress’s tool-free, quick-change base design effortlessly transforms three distinct modules into five core capabilities:

Heat Press Module: Pro-grade 2D Auto Heat Press for Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV), DTF, and sublimation. Optional Laser Positioning Pens ensure effortless, flawless alignment, significantly boosting commercial production speed.3D Form Module: Industrial-grade vacuum suction (−90 kPa) unlocks two distinct techniques: Vacuum Forming to clone 3D shapes in seconds for custom molds, and 3D Sublimation to wrap vibrant designs onto curved objects like phone cases.Craft Oven Module: A clean environment for Craft Baking (shrinking plastic, curing polymer clay, sublimating mugs) and professional DTF curing, with indoor-friendly H13 HEPA filtration. Paired with the Heat Press Module, it creates a seamless Cure & Press workflow for apparel businesses.

Professional Performance. Zero Compromises.

WonderPress ensures one-press, zero-peeling results. By doubling the heating tube density, it achieves ultra-even heat and edge-to-edge adhesion, guaranteeing professional heat consistency from centre to corner. Its high-precision system delivers up to 100 kg (220 lbs) of force in precise 1 kg increments. Coupled with an unprecedented 75 mm (3-inch) height clearance, creators can effortlessly process thick hoodies and bulky décor items.

The intuitive 1.8-inch display and xTool Studio preset library make WonderPress accessible for beginners while meeting the rigorous demands of small-to-medium businesses. Built-in air purification with an H13 HEPA filter makes DTF Curing safe for home use — a first in the industry.

A Creative Multiplier for Every Maker’s Workshop

WonderPress acts as the missing piece in any modern maker’s workflow. Whether adding 3D dimension to flat laser-cut projects, accelerating mass production for 3D printers, or serving as the ultimate finishing station for DTF and sublimation printers, WonderPress seamlessly integrates into any existing creative setup. For home-based apparel businesses selling on platforms like Etsy or Amazon Handmade, it combines DTF Curing and Auto Heat Press in one device — eliminating the need for multiple tools.

“WonderPress is a powerful new addition to the creative ecosystem we are building for half a million makers worldwide. For the first time, anyone can bring professional heat-based creation into their home or small business, safely, affordably, and as part of a growing suite of tools designed to unlock new creative possibilities.”

Greenzie releases 2025 Annual Safety Report, documenting multi-year safety performance at commercial scale

Published

on

By

The data shows zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses across real-world operation

ATLANTA, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Greenzie, the technology platform powering commercial autonomy across multiple OEMs, today shared multi-year safety data from real-world commercial operation, documenting more than 150,000 autonomous miles with zero lost-time injuries, zero OSHA medical attentions and zero human near-misses. The data is published in Greenzie’s 2025 Annual Safety Report, available at greenzie.com/safety.

The report is based on extensive operational data spanning more than 5.4 billion square feet of turf mowed, 68,000+ hours of autonomous mowing and more than 50,000 operator days, the equivalent of 265 mowing seasons.

“Greenzie is helping define safety in autonomous landscape operations, and transparency is a critical part of that,” said Steve Bush, chief operating officer of Greenzie. “These results show that commercial autonomy is operating safely at meaningful scale in the field. Transparency matters because as this category matures, real-world data helps build confidence in what responsible deployment looks like.”

The report’s findings are particularly significant in the context of the U.S. landscaping industry, which employs roughly 1.3 million workers and experiences a higher-than-average rate of workplace accidents compared to other fields. Greenzie’s multi-year operating data shows that autonomy is not theoretical; it is already being deployed consistently and performing safely at scale.

“Greenzie Powered Autonomy™ has been validated through years of sustained use in the field,” Bush said. “That level of real-world performance reinforces both the reliability of our platform and the broader readiness of commercial autonomy.”

Greenzie attributes this performance to a disciplined safety approach that includes robust perception, tested operating standards and continuous validation in real-world commercial environments.

About Greenzie

Founded in 2018, Greenzie is the technology platform powering commercial autonomy. Created to solve the landscape industry’s labor and productivity challenges, Greenzie works with leading equipment manufacturers to deliver the software, navigation and safety systems that enable mowing and other outdoor power equipment to operate autonomously in real-world commercial environments. Today, Greenzie’s platform is running on hundreds of machines in active use, helping manufacturers bring autonomy to market and allowing operators to get more done with limited labor—moving autonomy from early experimentation to everyday operations.
