Guangzhou-based 3D printing and digital manufacturing firm HeyGears has opened reservations for its G1 Sequence desktop full-color 3D and UV printer forward of a deliberate Kickstarter launch in July.
The G1 Sequence is a compact manufacturing system for full-color 3D fashions, raised 3D textures, and 2D UV printing. The machine can produce full-color fashions instantly from the print mattress, eradicating the necessity for handbook portray. The system is geared toward customers producing small-format visible, practical, and customised objects.
The system may also apply raised textures as much as 5 mm excessive or operate as a standalone 2D UV printer for flat, curved, or roll-fed substrates utilizing appropriate attachments.
An 8-channel UV ink system on the G1X mannequin can produce greater than 10 million colours. A Raster Picture Processor algorithm is used to handle colour mixing, whereas Digital Materials Jetting and fast UV curing cut back colour bleed and protect sharp edges on small elements.Â
Full-color and clear parts can be mixed in a single steady construct, lowering the necessity to separate elements earlier than meeting. Water-soluble helps are used for inside cavities, lattices, and different geometries the place handbook elimination can be harder. The printer’s UV workflow is designed round modular equipment. The corporate says the system can print on greater than 400 substrates, together with steel, acrylic, textiles by direct-to-film switch, laser playing cards, and lenticular playing cards.Â
For upkeep, the printer consists of printhead heating, white ink agitation, auto-cleaning, and automated nozzle moisturizing. The G1X mannequin makes use of an Epson i3200 printhead with 3,200 nozzles, 3.9 pL droplets, and an 8-channel ink system. The lower-cost G1 Starter Pack makes use of an F1080 printhead and a 6-channel ink system.
Software program assist is supplied by HeyVerse and Blueprint Studio. The workflow consists of over 500 curated property, text-to-3D era, image-to-3D era, and line-scan imaging for automated object positioning, edge detection, and design alignment.
Technical specs and pricing
The G1 Sequence is presently obtainable by a $50 deposit scheme. HeyGears says the deposit secures VIP pricing for the Kickstarter marketing campaign and is refundable earlier than launch. Prospects who full a purchase order inside 48 hours of launch are additionally listed as eligible for a free 300 ml white UV ink supply.

The corporate notes that photos and movies on the product web page could present prototypes, pre-production models, or digital renderings. Last design, options, specs, and supply estimates could change earlier than mass manufacturing.
HeyGears additionally states that its 3× UV printing velocity declare relies on inside testing in opposition to desktop UV printers outfitted with a single F1080/XP600 printhead. Coloration sturdiness testing relies on indoor use away from direct daylight or sturdy mild publicity, so out of doors efficiency shouldn’t be established from the presently printed data.
