Thank you for visiting our booth at Formnext! And thanks to the viewers for the nice comments. We'll continue putting R&D efforts into our 3D print technology!
What you achieved with this method is decades ahead of any other 3D printing tech out there.
Truly impressive, congratulations!!!
Great to see your work making great progress, and I hope your ink bottles don't have RFID tags that make the printer reject them due to "expiry" like other competetors!
Amazing tech. You're using inkjet to apply not just the colors, but also the resin right? Are the colors mixed in the print head or on the model?
I'm sure it's possible to print with multiple materials such as with solid and flexible resin (I guess it must be, considering you're printing a washable support material)?
Now please swear not to prevent the DIY community from developing this approach like Stratasys did. Think progress of humanity over patent profiting.
Those are some of the coolest prints I’ve ever even heard of keep up the great work
This might be the most impressive 3DP tech I've seen. What a time to be alive!!
2 min papers?
Just two more papers down the line and we'll be at 3d printing replacement bodies!
You should definitely grab onto your papers!
I'm certainly holding onto my papers.
Papers please!
So cool! This is the tech I can see becoming the dominant consumer 3DP process in future. Nothing to tinker with, just prints that you wash off in water to get the final model. If they can get the ease of use and cost down enough it'll be huge.
if they make a low cost version, they can take my money!
wonder how durable it is. that also has a impact on what you can use it for.
@@markburton5292 likely the same as any other resin printer, great for creative prints but not so much for functional ones. still this is such a big leap for those who want creative prints that need colour and a lot of them.
I can see this tech upend many industries.
This is like those “Polyjet” printers, right? If I remember correctly the Patents for that are expired, so we could maybe get a surge akin to what happened with FDM if some developers/interested people get on this!
That building print is INSANE, we’re not far off from printing whole video scene dioramas. Imagine a shot from boarderlands or world of Warcraft in full 3d and color on a table
Imagine a stop motion film where each frame was a new print (maybe just the characters within)
@@JoeMalovich Coraline was largely done like you are describing. You should check out some of the stuff that was done about how they were already thinking this way.
@@rallyfeind I did not know that. Thank you.
Gladly, I think there is a video somewhere here on Tube.
Or when it's linked to AI so you can print your prompts.
I almost don't believe these aren't just painted. This is the first colour 3D printer tech that's actually what I've hoped it would be.
Exactly! But look at the laces on that shoe… it’s probably way better than what’s possible with hand painting. This video blew my mind.
The detail on these prints are insane
The concept is not new to me, but the technology involved is. This was kinda amazing to see it on a large scale and with physical objects instead of "3D paintings" on flat surfaces. The accuracy is uncanny. Thank you for featuring this.
It's the accuracy that really blew my mind. Up close it's INSANE.
@@3DPrintingNerd is it me or you can see cloth texture on those little couches?
I saw someone diy a prusa with 2 separate xy axis and the second one had a modified inkjet cartridge salvaged from an old printer. Cool to see bigger companies developing the technology as well
isn't this basically the same thing that the Stratasys Polyjet printer does? That has been around for a couple years now. It is nice to some other companies getting into that space for sure cuz that will drive down costs and maybe one day something like this will be affordable to average people but I don't think it is really cutting edge.
What will really impress me is when they bring this tech to the Home/Hobby/DIY market
I know the channels more focused on domestic 3D printing, but as a professional engineer (who doesn’t work with additive) I really appreciate and enjoy these “more technical/industrial” videos.
I'm SO HAPPY you like these!
@@3DPrintingNerd More please and if possible visit them or others for longer vid’s.
@@3DPrintingNerd These videos are super cool and informative, it's a glimpse into the future of domestic 3D printing after all. Thanks for covering this cutting edge tech. 👍
Holy crap. This is the pinnacle of 3d printing that I've ever seen
its plastic lol
In terms of a whole package, most definitely. In terms of resolution, there are other 3D printing techniques that can print things at orders of magnitude higher resolution.
I’m been talking about Mimaki for years (I saw them at CES). Virtually no one knew about them. Thanks for highlighting this exciting technology Joel.
Dude, SO COOL RIGHT. So thankful we saw them!
I have to be honest and say I've become increasingly bored of the slow tech innovation in recent years but WOW this had my gripped throughout. I love the idea of being able to print any colour with just 4 colours to buy instead of having 50 different rolls of filament. The head looks so realistic, in fact everything looks realistic. The little man is my favourite with the textures of clothing and the creases. Just stunning technology
This seems like one of those cases where you look at it and think "oh yeah, we should have been doing it this way the whole time"
I guess it took a traditional printing company to decide to branch out in order to make it happen
In a way there was no tech innovations since 1970-1995. Just old technology is slowly changing our lives and we're constantly improving things. In recent years we're getting more and more IoT in our lives. Almost every device now can be connected to cloud and controlled via a phone/web browser.
However, early adopters might think that everything has slowed down, since there's no new tech to buy before everyone else or new tech is just doing same thing as old tech but in different better way like heat pumps.
@@Leeki85 change is either evolutionary or revolutionary. Revolutionary requires lots of evolutionary steps before the ‘dam’ breaks.
the worlds been going through a massive pandemic and most researchers and engineers have bigger things to worry about than making new gimmicky stuff for you to be entertained by
This is exactly where I want 3D printing to go
Joel, I'm pretty sure he said "picoliter" rather than "picometer", as pL is the general terminology used for inkjet print heads. Also, while 6pL is absolutely tiny, it's pretty average for an inkjet. Some home inkjets go as low as 4pL droplets.
I wouldnt be surprised if this gets wide-spread adoption, we get even higher resolution pL.
But he cofirms saying its 10^-12, and i don't get it because a sphere that size would have a 12 micrometer diameter, and that is a very small droplet...that is the size of a whiteblood cell. How is the ink drop applied in these processes?
@@Brubigo jup that's the question I'm asking myself too. 6 pL applied to a flat surface is different to a volumetric 6 pL drop. As the printhead's main cartridges contain pre-colored material, I'm assuming the printer uses volumetric colored material applied in 6 pL drops and at a layer height of... what did he say? 20 µm... who's willing to get out the calculator and check the actual x/y/z size of a single drop? It's an incredibly high resolution.
he also said 1x10^-12m at one point and im unsure of that size.. an atom is 1x10^-10m
@@JBJHJM This is piezoelectric inkjet head most probably made by Epson. I've been working with this technology on their 2D printers. Quote: "A piezo inkjet printer is a type of inkjet printer that uses printer heads containing special crystals to which an electric current is applied. This causes the crystals to expand, forcing ink onto a substrate. When the current is removed, the crystal shrinks again, drawing up ink into the printer head."
UV lams cure the liquid monomeric "inks" into hard resin on the go as the layer is quite thin.
I want a home user cost version along these lines SO badly. Cant wait for this type of tech to become cheaper.
That's amazing. The level of detail and color is simply phenomenal.
This is impressive!! I checked out the specs on their website and the printing time is pretty fast for this level of details. The only negative points are the size and the price (~$230k), yes it's a professional printer. I hope to see smaller and cheaper 3D printers like this one in the future.
Was ~230k for the larger of the two? 230k for the 553 seems right, but a little pricey for the 2207
@@BaneWilliams ~$230k was the only price I found on internet for the 553. After your reply and searching more I found ~$40k for the 2207 which is way more affordable. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
the closest you can do is to resin print and then have someone meticulously hand paint it, and you still wouldn’t have this degree of color accuracy and detail. Employing a model painter this skilled would quickly reach 230K in a few years
@@ButterfatFarms I know
@@ButterfatFarms to have them professionally painted with this amount of color accuracy and skill, I’d recon easily 100k a year
This is the destination I've wanted! My mind just explodes with the possibilities!
OMG, I am floored and so happy to see more of this 3d printing development!. Last time I saw something akin to this was a paper laser printing process. We need more printers that can scan items and the print directly on irregular surfaces.
It's crazy this came from 2D printing processes. They just thought, we can print in 2D, now we just need layers.
So great to see such talented people doing beautiful work. Thanks so much.
This is how I always imagined 3d printing to be. Like paper printing with a bar that goes across instead of a single nozzle
As someone who works on cutting edge research of 3D printing I would say this technology has been there for almost 5-10 years and already commercialised. The J750 3D printer has been doing the exact same thing for many years, but I have to say the claim of colour brilliance of Mimaki is certainly like no others. I've seen Mimaki first time almost 4 years ago in CES Shenzhen and was very imrpressed with the way they mamanged to implement their technology. Glad someone gave them a good shout out which they deserve.
Holy crap! This is incredible! I can’t believe that building and everything in it was printed in one go. Amazing
This is amazing! I love watching innovation like this take shape. Thanks for sharing, Joel!
Honestly, the most incredible thing to me is the fact that it prints in one go.
Struts? Wash away. Layering? Nonexistent. Colors? Beyond impressive.
Holy cow you're end credits are amazing! I'm not much for opening credits but I'd watch that again definitely should lead with a few seconds of that sir!
SO GLAD you saw that!
That is really cool. It reminds me of years ago there were 3D printers that did layers of paper which could be color printed and got similar results as that.
That is incredible and beautiful. I'm so glad it exists. Thanks for making this video
This is completely mindblowing! Can’t believe how diverse 3D printing is becoming!
Now we have to wait 10 years or more before we get a consumer payable version. Can't wait!
20 years until the patents expire and another 5 years for a maker to iron out the kinks.
Not sure what Joe consumer needs with this or most 3d printing technologies. I'd rather have access to a print shop I can send jobs to than have to maintain this sort of nonsense.
@@Barnaclebeard do you have a 3D printer?
Wow! I'd love access to a printer like that. I've done many full color 3D prints using other tech on offer at 3D printing services, but none even come close to that quality. Incredible. Hi-5!
Ngl this is mind blowing. Incredible tech and great presentation of the capabilities from the rep. Thanks for the upload Joel!
Absolutely love it, this is amazing!
Absolutely crazy how good those prints are. I do notice he says it's "not fast", but I wish we knew exactly how slow.
And… "not cheap" either… I wish we could know… etc 😊
@@oljobo £35,000 for the Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 which has a volume of 203mm x 203mm x 70mm
@@thingswelike Thanks 👍. You know if there is any place one can order a sample… or order a print from a simple model?
@@oljobo i can do it for you, the only problem is that I’m from Italy. I bought the small version (the 2207) last July for my 3d service, and it’s an incredible 3d printer. What I can also tell you is that the price of the resin it’s very high and unless you use a particular software call materialise magic that cost 200$ a month for the light version, you must print all the piece completely solid inside, and that greatly increase the price.
@@Davide-il3ou Thank You for answering 🙏. Yeah I guessed this would be (very) expensive.
I was just so positively surprised to see such a technology, I just immediately felt like •having• a small printed piece 😊. I can live without, no problem 👍.
Being from Italy is a plus btw 🇮🇹👍😊. Best regards from Norway 🇳🇴☺️
Looking up the cost - 3DUJ-553 appears to go for about 230k - out of my league - but not as expensive as I was thinking.
I wish I could afford one
amazing tech, thank you for presenting all of this to all of us out here!
Its not displayed here but imagine how realistic figurines could look with transparency mimicking subcutaneous light scattering!
The parts with transparent material look awesome. I wonder if they can do gradients with it, so you could have volumetric fog/smoke effects.
Ooh, that would be cool!
I'm pretty sure that at around 4:00 be says picoliters (trillionth of a liter and measurement of volume) and not picometres (a measurement of distance).
How much ink do you expect it would take to print a picometer sized dot?
Yes I noticed too! I just thought it was just such a tiny little mistake, I didn't mention it 😂😂🤣
@@Jbot123 a lot less than a picoliter. If my mental math is up to scratch, a picoliter would fit in 100x100x100 micrometers..
1x1x1 pm would be 1e-36 liters I think.. so 1 trillion trillion of those in a picoliter..
@@Jbot123 I couldn't even guess since a picometer is a measure of distance and not a measure of area.😇
@@evansampson7325 But when you are talking about printed dots, the width of said dot is often used to relate it's size. And besides that, he was specifically talking about the size of the droplet.
This is honestly so impressive, very excellent job Mimaki
Incredible. I wasn't sure anyone would find a way to do this. Great work!
Mimaki should consider expanding the color palette with the inclusion of additional inks, kinda like how some color inkjet/laser printers use dedicated green or orange inks. Perhaps even metallic and/or fluorescent inks!
I thought this might be possible but its more "Hang on, I am still trying to put my brain back in..." This is really the next thing! Thanks Joel!
Thank YOU for spending a few minutes here!
Amazing! So glad I saw this. Now I need to find a reason to get something printed by one of them.
So wicked!
Really awesome stuff! The building is extremely impressive considering it was done in one go 😮
This is just brilliant, man. As an FDM guy, I’ve always looked at resin printing with interest, but this is on a whole other level.
Hope someday it’ll be available for the regular consumer.
This is the way that 3D printing always should go. Can't wait to see this at consumer prices.
Me: That's never gonna happen to be payable.
Also me remembering how expensive the first computers, printers, ... where 🤔 And how cheap they got over time 😍
@@photelegy 😄 100% I just hope it happens sooner rather than later. I give it 5-10 years before this is affordable to consumers and fast enough to be viable.
20 years and we are at consumer price
@@Hanzi2u No way! MUCH sooner. Look how fast colour printing has become affordable. In 20 years it will be superfast, higher quality and available for $1500.
@@matbroomfield you should also take into account what people think consumer price is, it varies, and things are more getting more and expensive as times goes on
i am as excited to see this as you, this is amazingly cool.
Wow! This is a leap forward, love it!
The combination of traditional 2D inkjet, 3D (though I am not sure if it is SLA or FDM - assuming SLA from the scale of the stuff) with a UV pass to cure the layers is incredible. It's just like how games render graphics - polygon models with textures mapped over the outside. Wow!
Look at the sample with the 3 prints mounted on a base. It's FDM of the white 'interior,' inkjet on the shell layer, and wrapped with dissolvable support. It scales down to the furniture pieces because the inkjet layer is 6 picoliter dots, thus 10M colors within human resolution.
@@jimbarchuk it would be a mix of both. It's a UV cured resin, not an extruded plastic, so in that regard it uses SLA. But it deposits the resin like an FDM printer does, rather than selectively curing portions of a layer of resin like typical SLA.
@@cryofpaine So this technology basically works with bitmaps. Each pixel is a droplet of a specific color. the machine will lay down a layer of droplets, then a spinning metal cylinder passes over it, essentially "squishing" the droplet just as the UV lamp passes over it to create a flat cured layer. Then it moves to the next bitmap in the sequence and repeats. You can have multiple print heads dedicated to different colors as well as support materials. With Stratasys' version of Polyjet printers it is also possible to create different synthesized materials and textures by mixing resins, such as rubbery material or even fabrics.
@@iheartninja In the printing world it's referred to as dots rather than pixels/bitmaps (hence DPI). This is because it takes multiple "dots" to actually build up a single pixel of an image.
Whaaaat?!
Top prints at the formnext show! Blows my mind 🤯
This is incredible! I see an awesome future for 3D Printing!
10,000,000 colors? Bah! "64K colors ought to be enough for anyone." -- Gill Bates, maybe. 😉
Yeah, Bill Gates never said 640K is enough. It’s a myth.
@@JonS I was quoting Gill Bates an early pioneer of digital color. Also, the previous sentence is a complete fabrication. 😁
@@BV3D thought - older graphics cards could show 16 million colours, not sure what it's at now - any guesses where they lost the 6 million?
also to correct myself as I hate this - shades not Colours, shades of colours - and yes, you are spelling colour wrong :P
@@Nossieuk I spell a lot of things wrong. 😅
I'm curious how well the prints keep the colors with wear/uv-light/etc.
Given their background I'd assume pretty well but even if not then the technology itself is a stepping stone to bigger and better later down the line anyway.
Checkout 2d printing of uv ink. It work same.
That is some amazing stuff, i'm really impressed at how much 3D printing has evolved just wow.
Wow!!! Just amazing!!!
We were in talks with Mimaki at my last company to buy a machine. they treated us like GARBAGE. We met up with them at their own offices in Carson, there were 2 other customers there getting demos. they wouldn't answer any of our questions. my associate and I came with the intention to BUY, but some other customer was far far more important than us, as all of the very snarky sales people were only focused on what was happening with the other group of people. We asked if we could touch some of the star trek online custom prints because we were goign to do a similar on-demand service and might want to get multiple machines and we were told we couldn't handle them but that the person would hold it for us. when the other group came by (we think they were from mazda) they gave them the samples to take with them - right in front of us. mind you they didn't tell us the samples were earmarked for the larger client, they told us 'you can't touch these, only i can'. we never understood what made 4 different people including their mgr both invite us during an 'open house' and ignore us, and then not want to take OUR ORDER. oh well, their loss.
What a horrible experience.
I refuse to deal with companies that do this kind of outdated BS with people.
That's just their over-inflated EGOs on full display.
It's funny how some people act like fools just because they product a nice product.
It's stupid, actually.
Will this tech ever become as consumer based as traditional printers and 3d printers? Like I’m 10 years will there be a version I could buy for $200 like an ender3 today
Thanks for sharing! it was one of my favorite machines at Formnext!
This is so amazing. The whole video I was just think over and over about how cool this is. I can’t wait for what future technology’s there will be in 3D printing in my lifespan. And thank you so much for sharing this amazing technology.
I am blown freakin' away!
Brilliant!
Wow this is just on another level! And i Mean the principle to print color onto the layers is so genius and easy!
I love that they came from this from the side of printing house stuff and developed organically into making these prints, it really shows how we needed someone coming from outside the industry to shake things up on what could be possible
Absolutely amazing!
holy hell! this is beyond amazing!
That is absolutely incredible! I have never seen a more impressive 3D printer. Imagine cosplay or mini figures, but all the textures are already lifelike the moment they come off the printer!
The level of detail is absolutely insane!!!!!
That is the most impressive 3D printing tech I've seen since the birth of 3D printing
omggggggg ty for this! I am hyped
holy cow! I can't believe how amazing this is.
Amazing! And that Mimaki man was such a lovely happy soul ^-^ Great work Mimaki :)
(also love their latex printing endeavours :) and hope to see such in a domestic use printer one day!)
Whoaaaa!!!! Thanks for the vid!!
Just mind blowing, literally mind blowing!
I had my first experience with a 3d Printer Early in high school, I bought one just a few weeks ago and have been loving it!, Awesome Video!
Incredible! We need one hour version about it!
simply amazing
How did no one think of this sooner? great Idea!
Best piece from Formnext in terms of tech, mind blowing stuff.
This is epic!!! thanks for sharing this.
Y'all, this s*** is crazy! Love that someone is doing this now. SUPER cool!
This is genuinely mind boggling. I've been using 3D printing for years but we are clearly in another dimension with this thing.
that solid building looks incredible, amazing technology
Incredible !!! 🤩
Game changing. Every time a think 3d printing has hit a plateau bam! something amazing like this drops, with dissolvable supports. Obviously not for consumers yet but I am curious the times it takes to print these models and the cost of the printer. Thanks for sharing this company. Pretty amazing prints.
This is F*ing amazing!
Amazing! Truly revolutionary!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing!
Yes please! Awesome!
the quality is straight up insaaaane wtf
Wow!!! This is awesome!!!
great for prototyping and unique pieces
Wow!
That is, what I was waiting for the last thirty years!
The quality of the objects, the printer's capable of, are bejond my greatest expectation!
I saw this video when it came out on a TV so I didn't follow (that's a hassle on the TV especially when you're not signed in), but I found you again in Mingda recommendations. Nice to find my way back. Nice channel.
My jaw about hit the floor when I saw it could do the transparent printing. that is actually insane. I don't think we will see tech this is the consumer space for a long time, if ever, but knowing its out there is just so crazy.
Somebody wake me up when this becomes affordable and consumer level! As a 3D Artist who can't paint traditionally, this is my dream and I've been waiting for to jump into 3D printing...the day I can print my characters in full colour and stick them on my shelf for display will be glorious!
wow that is awesome, I hope I live long enough to see a home version of this !!
Impresive!!
I think my head exploded. I remember seeing the Kickstarter from Hero Forge a few years back that did full color minis, but the level of detail on that printing system doesn't hold a candle to this! Did you see the quality of the face models in the display case?! Truly astounding.
This is the greatest, most impressive and much needed 3D printing technology I've ever seen!!
I think I saw the showcase a long time ago with more blurry output, good to know this tech is still around and getting better.
