All-in-One Modular | Auto Heat Press | 3D Sublimation | Vacuum Forming | DTF Curing | Craft Baking
If you have been looking to take your crafting or small business to the next level, you know how quickly your workspace can get cluttered with single use machines. Between a standard heat press, a vacuum former, and a dedicated curing oven, it is easy to run out of room and money. xTool is looking to solve this exact problem with the WonderPress. Launching on Kickstarter, this apartment friendly, all in one modular device serves as a complete desktop merchandise factory, allowing you to seamlessly swap between flat pressing, 3D sublimation, vacuum forming, and fume free curing in seconds.
PROJECT OVERVIEW
Name and Creator: xTool WonderPress: The Most Creative 3D Auto Heat Press Ever by xTool.
What It Is: An all in one, modular desktop crafting machine that combines a traditional auto heat press with 3D sublimation, vacuum forming, and an integrated craft oven for DTF curing and material baking.
KEY FEATURES
Modular Toolless Design: You can switch between the Heat Press, 3D Form, and Craft Oven modules in seconds without a single screw or tool, keeping your workflow fast and intuitive.
Advanced 3D Sublimation: Unlike traditional flat presses, the 3D module uses advanced vacuum suction technology to wrap transfer films completely around curved objects like phone cases, badges, and keycaps for seamless, edge to edge coverage.
One Button Vacuum Forming: The system makes it incredibly simple to create custom plastic molds or "clone" everyday 3D objects, even if you are a complete beginner.
Integrated Air Purification: The Craft Oven module features a built in 3 layer filtration system, including an H13 HEPA and activated carbon filter. This neutralizes harsh odors and fumes from DTF curing, shrinking plastic, or bending acrylic, making it safe to use in small apartments.
Heavy Duty Flat Press: The standard heat press module delivers up to 100kg of consistent pressure with even heating, ensuring professional grade transfers on flat garments and blanks.
REWARDS
Kickstarter Pricing: Early supporters who place a 10 dollar deposit can secure the base Heat Press module at an exclusive Early Bird price of 279 dollars, offering significant savings over the eventual retail price.
Options: Backers can start with the base Heat Press module and select optional upgrades to add the 3D Form and Craft Oven modules. Early depositors also unlock an exclusive material kit worth 50 dollars.
Delivery: The campaign officially goes live on Kickstarter on April 28, 2026. Early backers who secure their spot are guaranteed priority placement in the first shipping wave.
CONCEPT
The core concept is the Ultimate Desktop Merchandise Factory. xTool believes that creators and small business owners should not have to buy, store, and maintain multiple expensive machines to bring their ideas to life. By designing a highly adaptable, modular system, they aim to give crafters a unified manufacturing hub that saves space while massively expanding their creative capabilities.
INSPIRATION
As a major player in the digital crafting and laser engraving space, xTool realized that their users needed a better way to finish and apply the designs they were making. Inspired by the frustrations of dealing with bulky equipment and the safety hazards of toxic fumes in home studios, they engineered the WonderPress to be the perfect companion tool. It was built to bridge the gap between digital creation and physical products, giving home based makers professional grade versatility in a single, safe, and intuitive footprint.
