Features of 3DUJ-553

More than 10 million colours

With its UV LED curing method, the 3DUJ-553 is able to print objects layer by layer applying UV ink using CMYK, white and clear at a layer thickness of 22, 32 or 42 microns, producing a finished object of exquisite quality. UV LED curing also applies minimal heat to the object. The printer exhibits fast start-up times and minimal power usage, reducing the overall running costs.


Colour profiles

The 3DUJ-553 is the world’s first 3D printer to take advantage of colour profiles. This means not only accurate colour from the printer but also allows the development of proofing profiles for accurate viewing of colour on a calibrated monitor. This ensures accurate colour simulation before printing even begins, saving time and reducing waste.

By implementing a color proofing profile created by [MPM3] (option) to Adobe Photoshop, the colour can be simulated and checked on your monitor. The colours of the final printed object will be realistic and will approach the colours that were displayed on your monitor. By using proofing profiles, reduction of colour adjusting is a huge benefit saving your precious time. Just print your coloured object in one “shot”.


UV Inkjet method

UV curable ink is hardened with UV light. Mimaki’s technology involves laying down successive layers of UV curable ink, one on top of the other, until the desired model is completed.


Lamination and colour fixing

3D data is sliced and printing starts simultaneously for ink and support material until the model is completed.


Add translucency with clear ink

Using clear ink adds an additional effect to 3D printed objects, especially if the object is illuminated. The combination of clear and CMYK inks opens the door to increased designer creativity.


Excellent post-process performance

The inks used by the 3DUJ-553 contain an acrylic resin that produces hardness equivalent to ABS plastic. This means that overcoating, drilling and attachment of screws can be accomplished without damaging the object. It also adds superior weather resistance, surface smoothness and strength to the object.


Water-soluble support material

The 3DUJ-553 uses a water-soluble support structure which can be washed away with water. Removal of the support material using water, enables highly detailed models to be created without damaging the objects during this removal process.
 


Stable operation

Continuous ink flow is made possible by using an ink sub-tank installed in the print head. This prevents pigment deposits, air bubbles and ensures ink is emitted correctly. Additionally, this prevents missing nozzles and maintains a stable print environment and keeps the up-time of the printer extremely high.


Camera for monitoring of modelling status


The 3DUJ-553 has a monitoring camera that enables users to remotely observe the modelling status.

Mimaki Announces 10 Million Color Desktop Color 3D Printer

News

Mimaki has announced the 3DUJ-2207 color photopolymer 3D printer, which fits on a tabletop and is capable of reproducing over ten million colors.

Mimaki is a well-known manufacturer of office equipment, but the Japanese company entered the market of additive technologies quite recently, three years ago. More precisely, she not so much entered as kicked open the door, immediately releasing a full-fledged 3DUJ-553 color 3D printer ( in illustration below ), which relies on photopolymer resin deposition technology and offers full color reproduction in advanced CMYK+W autotype with over ten million shades. Before Mimaki, only Stratasys Corporation could boast of such equipment with its line of 3D printers using PolyJet technology, which includes color options.

Just six months after the premiere, the heads of 3D Systems and its 3D printers turned pale at the same time when the new 3DUJ-553 pushed the gypsum additive systems of the American company into the arsenal of i.materialise, one of the leading additive online services, which appreciated the opportunity 3D prints of whistles and gnomes in higher resolution and richer colors.

But so far we've only been talking about large-scale additive systems with price tags measured in hundreds of thousands of dollars. And now Mimaki has gone ahead, announcing a conditionally desktop system (after all, 140 kilos and almost a meter in height), completely similar in capabilities to older brothers, with the exception of two factors - the size of the construction area, reduced from 508x508x305 to 203x203x76 mm, and the cost .

The 3DUJ-2207 3D printer is tentatively valued at about forty thousand euros, which is about five times cheaper than 3DUJ-553 - the amount is still considerable, but much more acceptable for small, medium-sized businesses and rich Pinocchio. In addition, a new 3D printer will not have to allocate a separate workshop or evict the mother-in-law. The closest competitor is the Stratasys J55 system, announced this spring - also quite compact, but about twice as expensive (about $ 100 thousand) and reproducing "only" half a million shades.

“Here at Mimaki, we never stop developing breakthrough technologies and constantly challenge ourselves to look even further, constantly looking for ways to accelerate the adoption of additive technologies and the development of the industry as a whole. Our new 3DUJ-2207 3D printer is a prime example of this. We have already raised the bar in 3D printing with the release of the world's first 3D printer with over ten million colors, and now with the launch of our new 3D printer 3DUJ-2207, we are bringing the same palette to many new customers, which, in turn, means new applications and faster adoption of 3D printing technology in general,” said Danna Drion, Senior Marketing Manager at Mimaki Europe.

So far, the new system is being demonstrated at the online exhibition Formnext Connect, but the developers promise to release the 3DUJ-2207 for sale as early as January next year. Additional information is available on the official Mimaki website at this link.

  • Description

    General Information

    The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 3D Printer is the world's first 10 million+ color printer with the company's professional 2D inkjet technology.
    Mimaki 3DUJ-553 with its rich palette is suitable for creating final products - models of real objects or buildings. Mimaki 3DUJ-553
    3D printer adopts UV ink curing method for inkjet printing. Modeling is done with UV inks (C, M, Y, K, white, transparent) and includes printing, curing and overlay layer by layer. The color is not applied during the final processing, but is modeled using color inks, which ensures a subtle reproduction of the entire palette of colors. Color ink modeling (CMYK, white, transparent) covers 84% ​​of the Fogra 39 color gamutL and 90% SWOP gamma. When modeling with color ink with a high degree of transparency, external light is reflected from the surface of the white ink layer, which gives good color modeling against the background of the white layer.
    With original waveform control technology and high-precision ejection technology, the placement of ink droplets in the 3D printer has achieved its goal. This high precision makes it possible to create complex modeling objects focused on detailed finishing.
    A water-soluble substance is used as a support material. The substrate is easily washed off, soaking in water. This excludes damage to the object (scratches, cracks) that can occur when cutting or tearing off the substrate from the object.
    The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 3D printer uses ink curing by UV irradiation. The UV LEDs of the light source have almost no thermal effect on the object, and no start-up time is required for illumination. Long service life and energy saving can reduce operating costs. The Mimaki 3DUJ-553
    is the world's first inkjet 3D printer equipped with an ink circulation print head. Stable ink ejection of the print head prevents ink pigment from settling. The ink circulation system removes air bubbles that cause clogged nozzles, maintaining optimal ink spatter.
    The printer is equipped with a video camera that allows the user to monitor the status of the printer and print. This eliminates the overspending of material for modeling.
