The build volume on the plate is quite large, at 20cm x 20cm x 18cm, so it easily competed with some of the most expensive models in terms of the size of your model. Print quality, however, is not the best. We suggest this is best used by beginners who don’t need absolutely perfect models or thosedoing rapid prototypingas proof of concept. Performance is further improved by fast heating and layering. Nozzles can get as hot as 300ºC, improving speed and efficiency, regardless of the material you use.

Lower costs: UV printing often eliminates the need to use additional materials in finishing or mounting, and additional protection with laminates may not be necessary. By printing directly to the substrate, you end up using fewer materials, saving time and labor. As an authorised dealer of UV printers from Mimaki and Roland, we’re proud to offer cutting-edge products along with unparalleled service and support to meet and exceed all of your UV printing needs.This is positioned next to the 5-inch touchscreen display, which is one of the only downsides of this machine. It just doesn’t respond that well. You’ll sometimes find yourself having to press twice, though over time you’ll get used to the pressure it needs. This also allows for multiple materials via dualextrusion. In other words, one nozzle can layer in one material, while the other layers in another. Midway through you can even pause and swap things around to create a truly unique and complex object. Should your printer need any repairs or maintenance, we can also help you avoid costly downtime and lost revenue with our wide assortment of replacement service parts and UV printer accessories, such as rotary attachments, vacuum beds and UV filter cabinets. There are a couple of ‘mini’ and small resin-based printers that you may get away with on your computer desk. We’d point you to the XYZPrinting da Vinci mini w+ or ANYCUBIC Photon UV LCD. However, the latter produces noxious fumes from the resin and can be messy when cleaning. UV printers have their very own unique technique of printing digitally. Using UV (ultra-violet) lights and technology the ink is almost instantly dried and cured. Our UV printers allow you to print on various materials including paper, metal, wood, and acrylic, making it a popular choice for commercial use. What are the benefits of UV printers?

You’ll need processing software for UV printing to manage your equipment and workflows. Every manufacturer has their own unique software for their brand, but you can usually find a third-party option that will work just as well. Just keep in mind that third-party software programs will be an additional cost. The display is also helpful in informing you of the materials and printheads in use, printing status, temperatures, errors, and much more. Next to the display is the USB port, which can connect to your computer and accepts virtually any external drive with printable files stored on them. printing is not much different from printing on paper,just on a larger scale with more robust materials and athree-dimensionaloutcome. You connect to the printer via o USB or your local network, though it might have more options. Give it its instructions by loading a special computer file. Then, as long as it’s properly set up and loaded with the right filament or other material it will deliver your chosen design.The next top feature is interchangeable print heads, allowing you to change filament size or entire materials with ease. This includes regular PLA, but also ABS, PC, PVOH, and Nylon. The system onboard automatically recognizes materials, spools, and sizes, and adjusts itself accordingly. We have a range of UV printers and technology available across the UK, Ireland and overseas giving your business the ability to individualise and print on items and materials of your choice. Aside from being able to print on most materials, it is also much faster than conventional printing. You also have the benefit of it being better for the environment as no solvents are being made and the print on your products being much more colourful. Our UV flatbed & colour print technology Everything else can be controlled via the Cura-based DigiLab 3D Slicer software. This has automation and prompts for beginnersand all the required options for experienced users. You can change the level of hollowing, support, detail/quality, and more. You can print via G-code or Dremel’s own 3gdrem format. The Printer benefits from the latest Ricoh GEN6 (MH5320) print head providing greater firing accuracy and smoother images.

The software is basic but has all the necessary settings to turn a file from the internet into something compatible to print successfully. The most important setting will be the support structures, which can be automatically generated. That way the model will come out with a flat base or other elements to stop it from falling over or collapsing entirely. This makes it one of thebest UK 3D printerchoices for beginners.Of course, you don’t want to touch something that hot. That’s why the RoboxPro is also a fully encased machine. It’s designed for professional users, so has flawless network connectivity via Wi-Fi or ethernet, and it can be fully controlled by an intuitive touchscreen display. You can use the prompted AutoMaker softwareto control multiple Robox machines at one time over the network, making it perfect for an industrial setting. That’s not to say it isn’t one of thebest UK 3D printeroptions either.

To set things up, first, you need to connect the printer to your PC with a USB cable. Then you can find it on your Wi-Fi network and do away with the cable if you want. The downside is this USB port does not accept thumb drives to print from file. Printing quality is about as good as it gets, and you can choose between 400, 200, and 100 microns in resolution. The lower the number the better, but even at 200, we had no problems with qualityor failed jobs. Meanwhile, the build area is 16.5 x 29.4 x 18cm, providing plenty of room to print most people’s desired models.

Small Format UV Printers - Excellent Solution

A particularly useful feature is when you’re printing multiple parts for a single model. You can load these in a queue as part of one project to make things more efficient. This makes it one of thebest 3D printer options for UKbusinesses.
