Prismslicer: The next generation of Slice software for 3D color printing.
Polyjet technology (WJP, commonly known as the national company) was developed by the Israeli object in the early 2000s and was then acquired by stratasys. This technology is similar to inkjet printing, but uses a photosensitive resin that heals quickly. During printing, the nozzle spray of tiny droplets on the platform and heals the layer by layer via ultraviolet light to build a three-dimensional model with high precision and complexity. Polyjet is one of the rare 3D printing technologies that can simultaneously reach the outlet of colors and the multi-material mixture in the unique printing, but there is only a handful of companies that market and really implement large-scale implementation.
According to the resource library, the consumer polyjet equipment on the market currently includes the J850 of stratasys abroad and the J402Plus from China, both supporting multi-material and high-precision color printing. Among them, J402Plus is also the most reported device that we have previously reported and is widely used in the field of 3D color portraits. This equipment is generally positioned at the industrial level, with prices ranging from hundreds of thousands, even hundreds of millions of yuan, which considerably limits the promotion and popularization of this technology.
Perhaps it is only by entering the market and promoting technological innovation and cost optimization that we can really open the wider application prospects for color 3D printing. Finding universal singling software that is really suitable for 3D inkjet printing can be the key to breaking this situation. After all, the reason why consumer quality 3D printing can achieve today’s achievements is inseparable from the promotion of open source software such as Cura, Slic3R and Orcaslier.
The “moment of enjoying the people” of 3D printing in color can happen.
Recently, the additive appearance of Czech startups is also a company derived from Charles University in Prague，Launched a new slicing software for multi -material 3D printing –Prismizer。
Unlike traditional slicing software that is based on two -dimensional surface models, it adopts the Voxels modeling method, which can make the color gradient, the transition of material and the adaptive mixture in a real three -dimensional space, thus more fully freeing the potential of the material equipment and more delicate and more delicate printing effects.
The software also incorporates a high precision rendering engine, which can accurately preview the complex visual effects such as transparency and color gradient before printing. At the same time, thanks to the spectral correction function, the color and texture output will be automatically optimized, considerably reducing the print error rate. Users can also carry out an interactive control throughout the workflow to further improve user experience and controllability.
Maybe you will think it is ideal “perfect” software, but in fact, prismslier has a practical base. The apparently additive team has many years of experience in the research and development of computer graphic algorithms. As early as 2023, he cooperated with the manufacturer of inkjet quantica printers to develop multilice software.
The prismizer released this time is improved on its basis. In addition to continuing to support the Novojet of Quantica system, it is even compatible with the printers in polyjet of stratasys, and can be personalized and adapted to other inkjet platforms as needed. In other words, it is positioned as universal slicing software, not the exclusive tool of a manufacturer.
If you have to say that Prismslicer is the only gap, it is not open source, but is published using a paying model based on a subscription. The lowest “amateur version” costs € 60 per year (around $ 68), but only supports monochrome printing. If you want to unlock basic functions such as multi-material printing, you must choose “professional edition”, with annual costs of up to 5,000 euros (around 5,625 US dollars). It is still not low for individual users or small teams.
However, with the general version of Prismslier, we have every reason to believe that national technology experts can also make their own version, and that is perhaps another branch. Until then, if there are several 3D printers in really practical and affordable office level color level, you may not say that color 3D printing will be “not popular”. After all, market demand has always been there, but there is always a really “easy to use and easy to buy solution”.
Of course, we do not advertise the Flash cast. Last year, they announced that they would launch the CJ270, known as “first 3D 3D printer in global level” in the middle of this year, with a color printing capacity of 1000 m and a molding size of 180 * 120 * 100 mm.
When will he be listed? Some people are ready to pay the price of tens of thousands of yuan.
In addition, EUFYMAKE, an Anker Innovation subsidiary, recently published the first UV 3D texture printer consumer in the world, EUFYMAKE E1, on Kickstarter, which increased 180 million yuan in less than a month, with an incredible moment. This product, known as “the 2.5D printer”, is catchy. In the past, we thought that Anker had abandoned his dream of 3D printing, but after having communicated with them, we realized that this dream was still there.
Perhaps, with a little effort, it is not impossible to launch a 3D color printer. Anker, what do you think?
