Key Features of the Uniformation GK3
The Uniformation GK3 is equipped with several features that enable it to produce high-quality prints with a relatively smooth and efficient user experience. Below is an overview of its primary specifications and capabilities.
1. Print Resolution
The Uniformation GK3 offers a 16K monochrome LCD screen with a resolution of 15120 x 6230 pixels. This high resolution allows for detailed prints, capturing fine features and ensuring smooth surface finishes. The printer is capable of producing precise results with minimal visible layer lines, making it suitable for applications where high levels of detail are essential, such as in jewelry design, dental models, or functional prototypes.
Liqcreate resin for the Uniformation GK3 resin 3D-printer works in conjunction with this high-resolution display, ensuring that the printer can achieve accurate and consistent print outcomes. The resin’s compatibility with the printer’s display system is critical to achieving fine details and minimizing defects during the printing process.
2. Monochrome LCD Technology in resin 3D-printing
The Uniformation GK3 uses monochrome LCD technology, which is designed to improve the speed and efficiency of the printing process. Unlike traditional RGB LCD screens, monochrome displays allow for better light transmission, which leads to faster curing times for each layer of resin. This reduces overall print time compared to other resin printers with traditional displays.
Monochrome LCD screens for resin 3D-printing also tend to have longer lifespans than their RGB counterparts. This increased durability is a benefit for users who plan to print frequently or in high volumes, as it can lower maintenance costs and reduce the need for replacements over time.
3. Large Print Volume
The Uniformation GK3 features a relatively large print volume for a resin printer, with a build size of 211 x 118 x H240 mm. This larger print area enables users to print larger objects or multiple smaller parts in a single print session, increasing efficiency and productivity. The ability to print larger models or batch-produce multiple items at once reduces setup time and enhances overall workflow, especially for industrial applications.
This larger build volume makes the Uniformation GK3 suitable for users who require flexibility in the size of their prints, without the need to rely on smaller, more limiting printers.
4. Dual Linear Rail System
For improved print precision and stability, the Uniformation GK3 incorporates a dual linear rail system on the Z-axis. This design ensures smoother and more accurate movements during the printing process, reducing the likelihood of misalignment or wobbling during layer deposition. The increased stability helps maintain high-quality results even during longer print sessions.
The dual rail system also plays a role in extending the lifespan of the printer, as it helps evenly distribute the mechanical load across the Z-axis, reducing wear and tear on moving parts.
5. User Interface
The Uniformation GK3 resin 3D-printer is equipped with a touchscreen interface, which simplifies the operation and navigation of the printer. The interface provides easy access to various printer settings, print progress monitoring, and troubleshooting information. The menu system is intuitive, allowing both beginners and experienced users to operate the printer efficiently.
Additionally, the touchscreen interface supports multiple languages, which is beneficial for users around the world.
6. Cooling System
To ensure consistent performance, the Uniformation GK3 is equipped with an advanced cooling system for resin that regulates the printer’s temperature during resin 3D-printing operation. Effective cooling is essential for maintaining print accuracy and preventing overheating, particularly during long or high-volume printing sessions.
The cooling system helps to stabilize the internal components, reducing the risk of print failures due to temperature fluctuations and promoting longer-lasting hardware performance.
