Anker's eufyMake has introduced the UV Printer E1, touted as the industry's first 3D-texture UV printer designed for personal use, priced at $1,899. This innovative device can produce raised textures on various surfaces like wood and glass, simulating materials such as crocodile skin. Unlike traditional UV printers used in manufacturing, the E1 makes this advanced technology accessible through crowdfunding, offering a discount for early reservations. Its unique ink dries instantly under UV light, resulting in durable prints that can be applied to items like mugs and other rounded objects.
Falling somewhere between a 3D printer and the inkjet you use to churn out color photos, Anker's eufyMake brand has announced what it's calling the "industry's first 3D-texture UV Printer designed for personal use." The UV Printer E1 is closer in size to a 3D printer than an inkjet, but is designed to produce 2D images on various surfaces... with a subtle raised texture that can simulate the feel and appearance of materials like wood or even crocodile skin.
These types of printers are typically used in large printing and manufacturing facilities who have the budget and the room... eufyMake is launching its UV Printer E1 later this month through a Kickstarter crowdfunding campaign with a standard bundle priced at $1,899. But those willing to reserve one now with a $50 deposit can get the E1 discounted to $1,499.
As the name implies, UV printers use a specially formulated ink that cures and dries instantly when exposed to ultraviolet light after it's been applied to a surface. The process typically produces prints that are more durable than other printing techniques, and it can be applied to multiple surfaces, not just paper.
Supported materials include wood, metal, glass, leather, and acrylic which can be placed on a moving bed measuring around 13 inches by 16.5 inches in size. But using an optional rotation unit, the E1 can also directly print on rounded objects like mugs.
