Mimaki has just introduced their 3rd 3D printer, they first debuted the Mimaki 3DUJ-553 back in September 2017, a 10 million-color 3D printer; In contrast their new product, the Mimaki 3DGD-1800 is a large-sized/high-speed 3D printer, to be precise a machine that can print at a maximum speed of 35cm (height) per hour, this in a special UV curing resin.
The Mimaki 3DGD-1800 is a solution developed in association with Massivit 3D, the pioneer in large format 3D printers, the printer’s available molding area is 1.45 x 1.11 x 1.8 meters (57.1 x 43.7 x 70.9"), the printer has 2 gel dispensing extruders giving the machine the ability to print 2 different objects at the same time, basically the same specs the Massivit 1800.
Just like the Massivit 1800, the Mimaki 3DGD-1800 uses the Gel Dispensing Printing (GDP) technology developed by Massivit, this guarantees fast curing times and reduces the need for support material, this is done thanks to an ultraviolet photosensitive gel-type curable resin, the resin is laid out in a similar way as Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) 3D printers do, with the difference being the material used.
Mimaki first announced their latest 3D printer, the 3DGD-1800, back in march, and has made it available since April 1st 2020
