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.
