In the design and development of new products for footwear brands, it took more than a month from the time the order was placed to the time the prototypes were received. Also, it was taking time for the design idea to take shape and be put in the hands of the designer.

With the 3DUJ-553, a 3D design model of a shoe can be printed in one to two days, significantly shortening the time required to create a prototype, which normally takes more than one month. In addition, the process from design modification to prototype production can be repeated more times in a short period, leading to better product creation.

Students from CREAPOLE design school in France participated in a 3-day shoe design workshop hosted by Adobe and On, a performance running shoes company. The winning designs were printed by Mimaki and awarded to the students.

The business of the German start-up company Fansea is based on 3D asset creation, web3 and metaverse consultancy. Fansea was searching for a technology to bridge the gap between the virtual and physical by offering their customers photorealistic, 3D copies of their digital assets.

3DUJ-553 can accurately bring the individual qualities of each item directly from the screen to the model. 3D printing has the potential to revolutionise the digital space.

Collaboration between The University of Florence and Mimaki’s Italian importer Bompan results in a milestone for anatomical study.

The full-color “3DUJ-553” 3D printer was used to reproduce a 3D scanned human heart with high color accuracy.

Low color accuracy, fragile parts, and time intensive post processing produced less than desirable results with powder based full-color 3D printing.

The full-color 3DUJ-553 creates robust anatomical models with realistic color reproduction that are easy to post process.

When necessary, the Creative Design and Additive Manufacturing Lab at the University of Auckland added color to 3D prints by hand due to the lack of vibrant colors and affordability in full-color 3D printers.

The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 full-color 3D printer now allows the Lab to print in 10-million colors at a running cost affordable to the university.
