Thank you to CTA for inviting us back to CES as media for the 9th year. As usual, it was an absolute whirlwind of exhaustion. But, I’m back to share all of the things I saw and did with the top tech trends in 2026. If you love tech, read on. If you don’t love tech and instead want to shake your fist and scream into the void about how technology is going to ruin the world, also read on.
I love the ACMER Ascarva 4S CNC machine and the fact that it is modular which makes it incredibly easy to assemble, repair and update parts as often as you’d like. You can upgrade the spindle to tackle larger projects or harder materials. And, even better, the ACMER Ascarva is compatible with their 5W/10W laser modules which converts the router machine into a laser engraver.
If you are even kind of considering getting started in embroidery, you absolutely need to check out Caydo. The new CE01 Smart Embroidery Machine was so easy to start creating straight out of the box, making it perfect for beginners like me. But, what I love is that it will grow with me and my family and we can design, create, and wear our own creations of whatever we can dream up.
