Japanese company, Mimaki, have revealed their first color 3D printer. The printer, called the 3DUJ-553, is a 3D printing solution that is capable of manufacturing parts with more than 10 million colors for all professionals.
Like the American giant HP, Mimaki has embarked on their own journey into additive manufacturing, offering innovative solutions to meet different needs. Following an announcement a few days after the Da Vinci Color, a color 3D printer manufactured by XYZPrinting, this new Japanese solution is based on a UV LED process. The layers applied successively are cured by this light, thus forming the desired part. A coating of about 22 microns is then applied with CMYK, white and transparent inks. This makes it possible to obtain very colorful and very realistic pieces.

These colors can be precisely controlled, with the 3D printer being equipped with simulation software that allows users to get a very realistic representation of their color object before printing. The error rate is thus not an issue, as this step reduces waste and saves time.
