Chinese 3D-printing company Creality has been revolutionizing the 3D printing industry with its cutting-edge products and services for over nine years. Aiming to promote 3D printing technology and make it accessible to everyone, the company celebrated its ninth birthday with some impressive new releases. The K1 Series – comprised of the K1 and K1 Max – is the newest offering Creality has announced and could very well be the fastest 3D printer ever made.
With a processing power of up to 2-cores, 1.2GHz CPU and Creality’s proprietary software, the K1 Series have some of the world’s fastest speeds of up to 600mm/s, which is 12 times faster than an average 3D printer. It also boasts an accelerometer rate of 20,000mm/s2 and an incredibly light printhead at 190g. Furthermore, the K1 Series utilizes strain sensors and a 1μm AI LiDAR sensor while the K1 Max features a 1080p AI camera for monitoring and G-sensors for resonance and ringing reduction. The whole package is available for a pre-sale price of $599.
In order to make 3D printing easier and more efficient, Creality has also upgraded its slicing software, Print 4.3, for the K1 Series. This would make it more viable for everyday use and accomplish otherwise tough tasks with ease.
The brain behind the whole operation, Creality CEO Ao Danjun, envisions a world where everyone has access to the technology of 3D printing without any hassle. The state-of-the-art K1 Series 3D printers could be the very embodiment of that vision and just the tip of the iceberg. With its capabilities and smart features, it is safe to say that the K1 Series is one of the most impressive 3D printers ever made.
Company-wise, Creality has dedicated itself to change the future of 3D printing and make sure that the technology remains accessible to the masses. Since its establishment, they have connected people all over the world and globally produced starter kits, advanced materials, and user-friendly tools that have made 3D printing more accessible and simpler to use.
Ao Danjun is the CEO and founder of Creality, who has spent a lifetime innovating and advancing 3D printing technology. He is a firm believer in enabling people to access the technology not only in the present, but in the future. With a background in engineering, Danjun is always looking for ways to make 3D printing capabilities easier and more efficient for everyone. He strongly believes this technology will only become more mainstream in the future and that everyone should have the chance to experience it firsthand.
