Mimaki USA (Suwanee, GA) has announced the installation of the first 3DUJ-553 3D printer in the Americas at Pictographics (Las Vegas).

This UV-cure inkjet printer has more than 10 million color combinations available while producing objects up to 20 in. wide, 20 in. deep and 12 in. high. Mimaki USA says the 3DUJ-553 (fully ICC-compliant) is the only color-managed 3D printer currently available that lets users reproduce a tonal range that exceeds that of any other 3D printer and enables them to utilize 2D and 3D in tandem for photographic applications. It is also able to utilize clear inks that can be jetted independently or combined with colored ink to create translucent objects.

“Pictographics has expanded its market by becoming a total solution provider and by partnering with other solutions companies,” said Craig Miller, president and CEO of Pictographics. “This is our plan for 3D printing as well, and the Mimaki 3DUJ-553 printer is a key component in our business strategy. What sets it apart from all other 3D devices is its color – more colors, brighter, more vibrant. We looked at the market and tried to match the available technologies to what our customers need, and the Mimaki 3DUJ-553 printer was best suited for the detail 3D work we want to produce.”
