Mimaki 3DUJ-553 Full Color Photorealistic 3D Printer

Photorealistic, high definition modeling with more than 10 million colors can be used for the production of figures and prototyping of toys.

With the 3DUJ-553, it is possible to faithfully reproduce full color models with complex shapes that would be impossible to color through traditional methods, and look identical to their 3D data counterpart.

[3DUJ-553] can satisfy professionals exacting requirement to make full color and fine modeling of strong preference into the details and final products and mock-up.

And the post processing like over coating and attachment of screws is also able to apply to an object after modeling.

Partial transparency such as representation of glass windows and transparent exteriors are convenient means of show the internal structure of models. This effect is difficult to achieve with handcrafted models or plaster-based 3D printer outputs.

Partial transparency can be applied to architectural models, combining the exterior and interior structures.

Full-color 3D printing is suitable for the creation of color-coded organ models. Translucent color (transparent with added color) expressions are also capable of visualizing the interior of organs, which will be favorable as practical medical models.

Object signage by 3D printer is considerably effective to be remarked and understood easily with its presence by the combination of realistic 3 dimensional motif and 2D image. [3DUJ-553] can express by more than 10 million different full colors and as well enhance the color reproducibility with the color adjustment employing the color profiles.

3D printer [3DUJ-553] employing the [UV curing inkjet method], which performs modeling with UV ink (C, M, Y, K, White, Clear) printing, curing and piling layer by layer. Coloring is not by post processing but modeling while using color inks, which can produce an object of exquisite full color representation.

Modeling by a simultaneous print with color ink and support material ink of sliced data of 3D object.

Modeling by color ink (CMYK,White,Clear) can achieve 84% of the Fogra 39L color gamut and cover 90% of SWOP gamut. According to modeling by color ink with high transparency, the outside light reflects on the surface of white ink layer, which will present a good colored modeling on the background of white layer.

Color profile is employed to enhance color reproducibility.

It is the world's first technology*1 as an inkjet method 3D printer to apply color profile. By implementing a color simulation profile created by [MPM3] (option) to Adobe Photoshop, the color to be printed will be able to check on a PC monitor. The color of object displayed on the monitor can be approached to the object itself. It is effective to reduce the working time for color adjusting.

Mimaki Pure Clear ink (PCL-110) can be used to express glass-like transparency as well as translucent colors by combining color ink with clear. Furthermore, by combining opaque models with Pure Clear ink (through "color in Pure Clear" or "color + Pure Clear"), it is possible to create models with truly clear expressions, for applications such as the visualization of internal structures. There are a wide variety of applications in a range of fields, allowing the freedom of creation to product designers and artists. It is also a vital tool to be used within medical and architectural models to promote deep comprehension through concrete visualization.

Besides transparency, clear ink can make a color expression of translucency by the simultaneous apply of clear ink and color ink. Clear ink gives an additional effect to show a different image when the object is lighted from its inside. The combination of clear and color ink will broaden the design range.

Without the transmission of light, the contour of object is shown clearly.

With the transmission of light, a fantastic atmosphere appears. The color ink layer over the clear ink can create the expression of color translucency.

Thanks to Mimaki original wave form control and high precision ink firing technology, amassed in the development of inkjet printer for professionals full of their strict requirements of high quality image, our 3D printer's precise ink droplet placement has achieved as completely aimed. This high accuracy can generate an elaborate modeling focused on detailed finishing.

Variable dot function contains sorting to fire 3 dot sizes and selects always the optimal size for modeling. This specified function enables modeling of beautiful gradation of less granularity and extremely high accurate full color.

Acrylic resin is compounded in the ink to obtain the equivalent hardness of ABS resin, therefore over coating, drilling and attachment of screws are available.

They will give superior weather resistance and sufficient strength to maintain signs fitting with a created object, besides the brilliance of finish being adaptable to use as a final product due to the over coating.

Over coating can make a smoother surface and upgrade the weather resistance.

It has the strength to bear 5 kg drawing force under tight screwing.

The water soluble substance is applied for the support material utilized together for modeling. Therefore it will be washed away by soaking in water instead of scratching off.

It is convenient to be able to remove the support material of delicate designed object without damage.

The removing time of support material depends on size and modeling configuration.

A space will be formed between the dragon and the ball after washing away the support material there. It will give a design option to rotate the dragon holding ball.

[3DUJ-553] applies UV ink curing by irradiation of UV (Ultra Violet). The UV LED of curing source hardly exerts thermal influence to object and start time for lighting-up is not necessary. Long life and power saving can reduce the running cost.

The world's first equipment*1 with the ink circulation print head as the 3D inkjet printer. Stable ink firing by the equipment of [Ink Circulation Print Head] for circulating of ink to prevent the ink pigment sedimentation. And this ink circulation system can remove air bubbles causing the nozzle clogging to keep optimizing the best condition of ink jetting.

[NCU] as the world's first equipment*1 to [3DUJ-553] examines automatically the nozzle status by infrared sensor. When it detects a nozzle clogging, [NCU] performs the auto-clean to eliminate it. Detection frequency can be set per modeling data or by time. It forestalls a modeling loss after occurring a nozzle clogging.

[Inner camera] is mounted for 3D printer operation and modeling process check from remote area. It allows constant check to minimize the loss of print error.
