(HeyGears: Irvine, CA) -- For creators, makers, studios, and small businesses, color has remained one of the biggest barriers in digital fabrication. Multicolor fused deposition modeling (FDM) is limited in detail and often creates waste towers, while resin 3D printing delivers fine detail but requires manual painting for color. Full-color 3D printing has traditionally been expensive and out of reach, with UV printing and texture creation still locked in separate workflows.

The HeyGears G1X is designed to change that. As the world’s first desktop full-color 3D and UV printer, G1X combines full-color 3D, 3D texture, and 2D UV printing in one desktop-scale platform. From paint-free, full-color models and tactile relief effects to high-resolution surface customization for hundreds of materials, G1X gives creators a faster, more flexible way to turn digital ideas into finished physical products.

3D printing mode: Full-color 3D models and 2.9 D deep relief

In 3D mode, the G1X builds three-dimensional models layer by layer using a dedicated ink set: CMYK + double white + water-soluble support + transparent (CMYKST+W*2). This mode produces:
• Full-color 3D models—seamless, paint-free models with interior and exterior color
• Deep relief (2.9 D)—specialized application of full-color 3D printing for deep three-dimensional relief, extending prints up to 150 mm for enhanced expression

UV printing mode: 2D printing and 3D texture printing

In UV mode, the G1X 8-channel ink system and up to 1440 × 2400 DPI resolution support vivid color, fine detail, raised textures, and surface customization for more than 400 compatible materials. It functions as a high-speed flatbed printer capable of producing two types of creations:
• 2D printing—direct high-resolution printing on more than 400 compatible materials (metal, acrylic, wood, leather, ceramics)
• 3D textures—supports up to 10 mm of 3D texture height (though a maximum of 5 mm is recommended for superior print quality and stability) to reproduce realistic surfaces like leather, wood carving, brushstrokes, and braille

Lower running costs, built for long-term use

The G1X design keeps everyday production more cost-efficient, not just more capable. Its affordable ink system reduces consumable costs for frequent printing, while the Epson I3200-U1HD (used in G1X) industrial-grade printhead delivers stable performance with reduced clogging risk and a longer service life. With fewer interruptions, lower maintenance needs, and less frequent printhead replacements, the G1X helps creators, studios, and small businesses achieve reliable output while keeping long-term operating costs under control.

Industrial-grade print quality, speed, and color fidelity

G1X is designed to bring industrial-grade print performance into a desktop-scale system, combining faster UV printing, precise color reproduction, and stable long-term output:
• Epson I3200 industrial-grade printhead—supports ultrahigh-frequency jetting for faster printing, stable ink ejection, and reduced clogging risk
• Up to 3 times faster UV printing—helps creators, studios, and small businesses improve productivity for custom projects and small-batch production.
• Advanced raster image processor (RIP) algorithms—enabling 10M-plus colors, smoother gradients, and more accurate visual output in different printing modes.

Note: The 3x UV printing speed boost is based on internal testing compared with desktop UV printers equipped with a single F1080 (XP600) printhead.

From idea to print with AI and auto-calibration

G1X combines AI-powered creation tools with intelligent hardware alignment, making the workflow from idea to final print faster and easier:
• AI-powered modeling. With HeyVerse AI and Blueprint Studio, users can generate high-fidelity models from text or images, or convert 2D visuals into 3D texture outputs through a simplified workflow.
• Auto calibration in seconds. Line-scan imaging identifies an object’s position, shape, and edges, enabling accurate design alignment and smart layout in Blueprint Studio for more efficient, consistent batch production.
• Full-stack creation workflow. With HeyVerse, Blueprint Studio, 500+ curated assets, and text/image-to-3D generation, users can turn ideas into printable models in minutes, even without 3D modeling experience.
