The new UV printer of ANKER can create fake wood for paint.

When falling somewhere between a 3D printer and ink waste it uses to rid the colorful images, the brand has announced the brand of “the first 3D UV printer in the industry designed for personal use.” the UV printer e1 It is closer in size to a 3D printer of ink, but it is designed to produce two -dimensional images on different surfaces – such as paper or glass – with an accurate raised tissue that can simulate the feeling of materials such as wood or even crocodile skin.

These types of printers are usually used in large printing and manufacturing facilities that have a budget and room to operate what is usually huge and expensive devices. For example, several years ago in CES, CASIO showed $ 50,000 printer Provide similar jobs. Eofymake launches an UV E1 printer later this month through a group financing campaign Kickstarter with a standard package at $ 1899. But those who are ready to reserve now can now deposit at a value of $ 50 to get a reduced E1 to $ 1,499.

As the name suggests, UV printers use a specially made ink that is treated and immediately dries when exposed to UV light after applying it to the surface. The process usually produces more durable prints than other printing techniques, and can be applied on multiple surfaces, not only paper. To create a three -dimensional consistency, a thicker ink is placed and treated first, in a process similar to 3D printing. Eofymake says that E1 can create a thick texture of up to five millimeters.

The subsidized materials include wood, minerals, glass, leather and acrylic that can be placed on a moving bed of about 13 inches size of 16.5 inches. But using an optional rotation unit, the E1 can also print directly on round objects such as cups and water bottles, which improves the accuracy of applications by eliminating the need to manually transfer designs.

For more ease of use, E1 includes a self -cleaning system to prevent plots from formation that can use the device for use. It also uses a mixture of cameras and lasers to measure and determine the location of objects that are printed directly, such as smartphones.

E1 prices will help make UV printing available for a wide range of companies and smaller companies, but Eofymake did not reveal the pricing of alternative ink cartridges, or the time it will continue. E1 uses a set of six UV rays including CMYK Plus White and ink that creates a shiny touch. It is listed in the UV printer as part of a bundle that Eofymake says is equal to $ 299, but no details have been revealed about the number of projects that can be printed before the dry cartridge is revealed.

“We want E1 to turn the UV experience away from the factory’s walls, in homes, studios, small companies and arts markets all over the world,” says Frank Zhou, EUFY General Manager. But based on the price of these UV rays, the UV E1 printer may only end at reasonable prices for those who are able to sell their creativity.
