From HOZO’s Design Legacy
Behind NeoBlade is HOZO Design — a team of industrial designers, engineers, and innovators with award-winning experience. Our design DNA is about empowering creators through tools that are functional, elegant, and intuitive.
- iF Design Award 2024
- Good Design Award 2021
NeoBlade was born from this philosophy — built not just to cut, but to elevate the way people build, model, and create.
The Making of NeoBlade
We created NeoBlade to solve a real challenge: traditional cutting tools are imprecise, tiring, and dangerous. So we built something new — with a 40kHz ultrasonic blade that slices cleanly through foam, leather, ABS, acrylic, and more.
Key innovations include:
- True Wireless operation
- 40kHz ultrasonic vibration for buttery-smooth cuts
- Auto power adjustment, dual cutting modes, built-in LED, and active cooling fan
- Modular battery system
- Easy blade replacement with magnetic screwdriver

Kickstarter: Breaking Records
Launched in May 2025, NeoBlade became the most funded ultrasonic cutter on Kickstarter ever.
- 4,151 backers
- HK$ 6,179,480 pledged
- From 60+ countries — makers, modelers, designers, engineers
From pros to hobbyists, the feedback spoke volumes:
"I also have a Wondercutter at work… NeoBlade cuts better. Honestly." — Kevin R., US Backer
"It sliced through a cable duct like butter. Beautifully made, super quiet fan." — Michael R., Germany
This wave of validation turned NeoBlade into the #1 most-funded ultrasonic cutter in Kickstarter history.
From Crowdfunding to Global Stage
After shipping on time, NeoBlade quickly won over creators worldwide — not just makers, but professionals in prototyping, product design, and education.
By the end of 2025, NeoBlade achieved two major international design honors:
GOOD DESIGN AWARD 2025 — Winner and IDEA 2025 — Finalist
Judges’ Comments From GOOD DESIGN AWARD:
“Conventional ultrasonic cutters are often limited by wires and poor heat dissipation. NeoBlade solves these issues with a fully wireless, compact form and excellent cooling system. Features like child lock and modular battery enhance safety and usability. A product that redefines the category.”
Built for the Evolved Maker
NeoBlade represents our vision of what tools should be:
- Beautifully designed
- Technologically advanced
It’s part of HOZO’s commitment to “Tools for the Evolved Maker” — people who see their tools not just as equipment, but as part of their creative process.
And this is just the beginning.
