宽幅喷墨打印机和切割机制造商mimakihas exhibited its latest 3D printing innovations atFormnext。
From its existing portfolio, the firm deployed its latestmimaki 3duj-2207system to 3D print parts live at the show for attendees to observe in real-time. In newer developments, Mimaki also debuted Pure Clear MH-110PCL, a transparent material designed to be mixed with users’ color of choice to form a translucent feedstock suitable for addressing architectural and medical 3D printing applications.
“We’re constantly looking to push the boundaries of what is possible when it comes to developing our technologies, and our solutions for 3D printing are no exception,” explained Mark Sollman, a Senior Product Manager at Mimaki Europe. “We have channeled our expertise in high-quality, true color reproduction into these products so that our customers can break new ground when it comes to 3D model production.”
mimaki UV喷墨3D打印
Mimaki的3D打印业务围绕着专有的喷墨技术，该技术将传统的喷墨印刷头与经济的紫外线源结合在一起。实际上，此过程通过将丙烯酸油墨喷射到构建区域中，在该区域中可以立即逐层固化以形成3D对象。自从首次开发其方法以来，该公司通过将技术集成到喷墨3D打印机中，包括3DUJ-2207and3DUJ-553。
虽然它于2015年首次宣布，但Mimaki的3DUJ-553系统最终在三年后启动，这是“世界上第一台拥有超过1000万种颜色的世界3D打印机”。由于其全彩制造能力和可观的500 x 500 x 300毫米构建量，该机器具有海上，原型，工具，建筑和ART 3D打印应用程序。
在2020年期间的一个这样的用例中史密森尼人3D printed exhibits拥有3DUJ-553的博物馆和研究中心，旨在帮助将展示栩栩如生，以及许多公共计划的模型。
With a smaller 203 x 203 x 76 mm build area and much lower starting price, the 3DUJ-2207 was later released as something of a little brother to the 3DUJ-553. As such, while the system is based around the same inkjet technology, it’s more of a scalable entry-level option for those seeking an accessible way of starting out in full-color 3D printing.
FormNext的全彩创新
Mimaki在FormNext上的3DUJ-2207演示旨在展示其硬件和软件投资组合同时部署时可以实现的结果。该公司的现场展示柜是通过Mimaki的3D Print Prep Prosoftware, a cloud-based program capable of autocorrecting file errors and optimizing 3D design data, to ensure that final 3D printed objects turn out as modeled.
然后使用Mimaki 3DCS-322进行后处理，该模型被后处理，这是一个智能支撑材料拆卸单元AM解决方案。根据Mimaki的说法，这种端到端的解决方案“增强和自动化” 3D打印工作流程，同时提高成本效率，并使全颜色模型的印刷可访问。
Pure Clear ink MH-110PCL also made its debut in Frankfurt. Mimaki’s latest polymer is designed to deliver improved transparency and negate yellow tint, in a way that allows artists, designers, architects, and clinicians to 3D print models with translucent features. In fact, when mixed with the 3DUJ-553’s over 10 million colors, Mimaki says the material enables printing with “true-to-life” accuracy.
除了其硬件产品外，Mimaki还展示了通过其技术由著名的日本艺术家Taketo Kobayashi创作的生动艺术品的集合。受古老的jōmon文明的启发，这是历史上人们认为人们和平地生活的时期，Kobayashi的作品旨在使用3D印刷来将他们的思维和信息带给下一代。
Given that the colors and transparent elements of Kobayashi’s pieces are so crucial to his artwork, Mimaki says the full-color possibilities unlocked by its technology were pivotal in “achieving the maximum intended impact of every model.”
“Kobayashi’s important and inspiring art [shows] how robust, cutting-edge technology can be used to make something very delicate and beautiful,” added Sollman. “The models deliver a powerful message for the future, but also show perfectly how our solutions have been designed to put color at the forefront, unleashing creativity and opening doors for new thinkers in various industries to produce something different, and possibly even game-changing.”
