Mimaki presents new transparent 3D Printing at Formnext 2022

Mimaki Europe has unveiled plans to demonstrate its latest solutions at Formnext 2022 (15-18 November, Frankfurt, Germany), designed to break new ground for full-colour 3D model makers.

Mimaki will present its newest innovation, Pure Clear ink MH-110PCL. The transparent 3D printing material delivers improved transparency and negates any yellow tint, allowing artists, product designers, architects, and medical professionals to 3D print accurate models with transparent features.

The MH-110PCL clear material is intended for use with Mimaki’s UV-curable, full-colour 3D printer, the 3DUJ-553. When mixing MH-110PCL with any of the Mimaki 3DUJ-553’s colours, 3D model makers can also create translucent-colour materials. This expands the creative possibilities for designers and increased true-to-life accuracy for the medical and architectural industries.

“We’re constantly looking to push the boundaries of what is possible when it comes to developing our technologies, and our solutions for 3D printing are no exception,” explains Mark Sollman, Senior Product Manager at Mimaki Europe. “We have channelled our expertise in high-quality, true colour reproduction into these products so that our customers can break new ground when it comes to 3D model production. An example of someone who is doing just this is 3D specialist and renowned Japanese artist, Taketo Kobayashi. A collection of his vivid, intricate works can be seen for the first time at Formnext on our stand, and these perfectly demonstrate the beauty and creativity that can be achieved when innovative technology meets expressive art.”

Mimaki’s latest 3D printing system, the Mimaki 3DUJ-2207, will also be printing live on the stand and powered by Mimaki’s 3D Print prep Pro cloud-based software, designed to streamline and optimise 3D model production with increased automation. Intended to simplify the 3D printing process, the software platform helps user prepare and finalise their 3D files before printing. This cutting-edge subscription-based software autocorrects file errors and optimises 3D data used in 3D printer modelling, ensuring that the final 3D printed objects look exactly the same as the ones visualised on the screen.

The models printed on the Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 will then be finished with the Mimaki 3DCS-322 – an intelligent support materials removal unit developed in collaboration with AM Solutions.
