SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 15, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

 

Anycubic (https://www.anycubic.com/), the established 3D printer brand known

for its high-quality and affordable printers, is coming to Kickstarter (https://bit.ly/3mmm3mu ) with a world premiere: the world's first affordable,

high-precision DLP 3D printer for consumers. The Anycubic Photon Ultra features

an exclusive debut of Texas Instrument's latest DLP technology, which brings

many advantages to users, such as: low to no maintenance, extremely

high-resolution prints, and much lower power consumption. DLP printers are

superior to LCD based 3D printers in printing small and narrow models, but have

always been prohibitively expensive, until now. Anycubic is aimed to solve this

problem and fit the needs of its customers.

Main benefits of Anycubic Photon Ultra

 

High-precision printing

 

Although the specified resolution of this DLP printer Anycubic Photon Ultra is

rated at 720p, its print quality is even better than that of 2k/4k monochrome

LCD screen printers. This is because DLP printers use a different technology to

project light compared to LCD printers. DLP printers use a projector that

reflects all the light to a pixel via a micromirror, therefore, there is no

light convergence, achieving crisper black-white contrasts. LCD printers

converge all the light to a pixel, which can cause bumps and shadows on the

edge of models. When displaying thin lines and small-size texts, DLP printers

are clearer than LCD printers with purer colors and richer layers, resulting in

more delicate texture and sharper corners of models.

Longer durability

 

LCD screens are a consumable, which need to be replaced every 3 to 5 months.

The Anycubic Photon Ultra does not have an LCD screen and the internal

projector enables the printer to be used for more than 20,000 hours. This means

the average user saves about $600 on LCD screen replacements. With a

Kickstarter price tag of $399, most people will have more money saved than they

spent on the Anycubic Photon Ultra!

 

Energy saving

 

The fact that the Anycubic Photon Ultra doesn't require high maintenance LCD

screens is already a big step forward in creating an environmentally friendly

3D printer. The machine is also much more energy efficient, which further

improves its impact on the environment. The Anycubic Photon Ultra DLP printer

operates at 40% light efficiency, which is 15 times higher than the 2.5-3% that

LCD printers usually operate at. It uses far less energy and is rated at 12W

with an average power consumption of 8.5W. The printer consumes between 0.017 -

0.034 kWh to print a 100mm high model,

 

Whisper quiet printing

 

Lower power consumption equals less heat, which means the Anycubic Photon Ultra

doesn't need any cooling fans, making it truly whisper quiet.

 

Smooth edges

 

With 16 x anti-aliasing the edges and corners of prints are smoothed out,

reducing layer lines and post-processing time.

 

Fast print speed

 

Anycubic Photon Ultra's print speed is about 1.5s per layer, comparable to LCD

printers like Photon Mono X, whose speed is 1.5 - 2s per layer. Compared to

SLA's point light source printing, its speed is up to 5 times faster.

 

Wide range of resin options

 

Anycubic Photon Ultra has options for adjustable UV power, which makes the

printer suitable for use with a wide range of resins, giving users endless

possibilities and creative freedom.

 

Better adhesion

 

The print bed has been laser engraved for enhanced platform adhesion and

evenness, ensuring prints have a higher success rate and better stability.

 

User friendly interface

 

The Anycubic Photon Ultra debuts printing settings to be modified directly on

the printer via the color touch screen, making it easier to adjust and optimize

without a computer.

 

Price & Crowdfunding details

 

The Anycubic Photon Ultra is making its worldwide debut on the crowdfunding

website Kickstarter, where it will be available at just $399 for the first 100

backers and $499 for normal price. After Kickstarter, Anycubic Photon Ultra's

price on Amazon will be over $599.

 

Anycubic Photon Ultra is launching on Kickstarter on September 15th, 2021,

where it will be available for pre-order in a worldwide exclusive. We are using

crowdfunding to match the innovative spirit of our customers, who are

trailblazers in the creative community, always embracing the new. Our campaign

will last for approximately one month, offering many benefits, discounts and

special promotions to our early supporters. After Kickstarter (https://bit.ly/3mmm3mu ),

backers will be the first in the world to receive their Anycubic Photon Ultra, and

later in the year it will become available via the regular Anycubic distribution channels at a slightly higher price.
