Mimaki 3DFF-222 3D printer.
Mimaki has announced the launch of a desktop fused filament fabrication machine in partnership with Sindoh, a South Korea printing hardware manufacturer.
The new 3DFF-222 printer has been designed to address in-house design and production requirements, and is said to be most suitable for components like jigs used in direct-to-shape printing and tools for producing three-dimensional signage.
Mimaki’s first desktop 3D printing offering boasts a build volume of up to 210 x 200 x 195 mm and can print parts in PLA material. Prints can be monitored remotely through a Mimaki mobile application, and the system also features automatic bed levelling, a high efficiency particulate air filter to prevent foul emissions, and motor drivers which help reduce the noise output during operation. The machine will be commercially available by the end of April 2019.
“Following the launch of our flagship 3DUJ-553 3D printer, Mimaki continues to explore opportunities in 3D printing,” commented Bert Benckhuysen, Senior Product Manager at Mimaki Europe. “Our new desktop 3D printer is designed to fit the needs of modern print production environments and it is suitable for a broad range of uses. The introduction of this latest product demonstrates Mimaki’s commitment to driving innovation and providing our customers with profit-enhancing solutions.
“Flexibility and ease-of-use are key features of the new desktop 3D printer. It’s been developed so that you can have it sitting in your office without disruptions. The 3D printer also complements our sign and display printers seamlessly. The 3DFF-222 is capable of inexpensively producing customised print jigs, which can be used to stabilise print quality when printing on flatbed direct-to-shape UV LED printers from our UJF series.”
“Sign and display printers can also benefit with time and cost savings through efficient in-house manufacturing of eye-catching colourful indoor signs and channel letters, which are 3D printed first and then decorated using Mimaki’s UV printers in LD mode, allowing high quality print on three-dimensional objects.”
