Mimaki Illuminates 3D Printing Market with New Compact Full-Colour UV Inkjet 3D Printer
Mimaki ’ s exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland , Hybrid Services , has today announced the launch of the new compact , full-colour Mimaki 3DUJ- 2207 UV Inkjet 3D Printer . Previously the first to bring over 10 million colours to the 3D printing market with its larger-scale industrial counterpart , the 3DUJ-553 , Mimaki now combines the same impressive colour range and renowned build quality in a compact , affordable solution . With this latest offering , Mimaki aims to extend the reach and accessibility of its cutting-edge 3D printing technologies to an entirely new segment of customers .
The innovative 3D printing solution represents a huge step forward for detailing and post-processing , with the unique combination of its full-colour capabilities and water-soluble support materials enabling super-fine details to be printed in vibrant colour , and then beautifully preserved without the substantial breakage risks usually associated with manual cleaning , painting and finishing . With additional features such as Mimaki ’ s trademark clear resin , which can be utilised alone or mixed with colours to achieve varying levels of transparency , the new 3DUJ-2207 3D printer presents a robust , advanced 3D printing solution with an affordable price tag – all within a machine sufficiently compact to fit in an office elevator .
Hybrid ’ s Managing Director , Brett Newman comments , “ The new Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 delivers a powerful solution for the 3D print industry , setting a fresh benchmark for price and performance with its incredible feature set .”
“ Encompassing significant functionality already proven on the larger Mimaki 3DUJ-553 , we anticipate strong uptake from companies seeking to leverage full colour 3D production ,” he continues .
“ Here at Mimaki , we do not stop at developing disruptive technologies – we make it our business to look even further beyond this , continually striving to find ways in which we can then accelerate the adoption of these technologies and drive the wider industry forward ,” comments Danna Drion , Senior Marketing Manager at Mimaki Europe . “ Our new 3DUJ-2207 3D Printer is a prime example of this . We had already raised the bar in 3D printing by delivering the world ’ s first 3D printer with over 10 million colours – but now , with the introduction of our new 3DUJ-2207 3D Printer , we are bringing these 10 million colours to a host of new customers , which in turn means new applications and an even quicker uptake of 3D printing technologies as a whole .”
Set to be commercially available worldwide from January 2021 , the 3DUJ-2207 has been designed with functionality at its core , with the compact design and a 203 x 203 x 76mm build space just two of many key features which demonstrate its unique versatility and make it ideally suited for office environments . The 3D printer ’ s quiet performance and optional deodoriser minimise some of the primary disruptions usually associated with 3D printing technologies , ensuring maximum workability in busy workspaces .
Utilising UV-curing inkjet technology , the expansive high-definition colour expression made possible with the Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 3D Printer is around twice that of powder bed manufacturing methods . This provides new
possibilities for prototyping and enables the accurate reproduction of subtle colour differences which are critical for many industrial design applications such as medical and architectural modelling . Additional applications include small-scale models for design offices and educational settings , as well as collectible figures .
Drion concludes , “ By combining our technological expertise with a wealth of industry experience and market insight , we have been able to create an innovative , inspired solution that merges functionality , affordability and design in a way that really will be game-changing for a lot of creators . This launch will deliver a world of new possibilities to designers and product developers , for many of whom the idea of high-definition full-colour 3D printing might previously have been out of reach , and that is something we are extremely proud of .”
The Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 3D Printer will be exhibited online at Formnext Connect and as part of Mimaki ’ s latest virtual event , the Mimaki 3D Experience , from 10th November to 16th December . Follow Hybrid ’ s social media channels for more information .
