Creality Unveils The Revolutionary K1 Series and Celebrates Milestone 9th Anniversary
Shenzhen, China, April 9, 2023 – Creality, a global pioneer in 3D printing, is proud to celebrate its 9th anniversary today. Over the past nine years, Creality has revolutionized the 3D printing industry with its cutting-edge technology and innovative products such as the CR-10 and Ender-3 series FDM printers, expanding its footprints to more than 100 countries and regions, and being favored by more than 3.5 million users worldwide.
To mark this special occasion and further democratize 3D printing technology, Creality is excited to launch its latest products that take the user experience to new heights. At the 9th Anniversary and Spring Event titled “Reflect and Renew”, Creality launches the K1 series, HALOT-MAGE series, Sermoon D3 Pro, Creality Falcon2 40W, CR-Scan Ferret, Creality Nebula Pad+AI LiDAR, and other accessories, all featuring intelligence and high speed. Alongside new products, Creality also launches a series of 3D-printed footwear solutions for users embracing changes and futuristic fashions.
“3D printing has long been favored by those with an engineering background who love coding, modeling, and tinkering. But for others who also want to turn their creativities into realities, operating a 3D printer still requires a steep learning curve – and this is what we aim to solve,” said Ao Danjun, CEO of Creality. “Leave the complexity to ourselves, and give the simplicity to users is our understanding of being user-centric. Our development of high-speed intelligent 3D printer will by no mean stop here, and we have already planned for a future where every home can enjoy the convenience of 3D printing technology.”
The ceremony started at 21:00 (GMT+8) with the announcement of the following offerings:
K1 series – the king of speed
Creality’s FDM flagship K1 series, including K1 and K1 Max, is a professional-grade CoreXY 3D printer lineup that boasts a printing speed up to 600mm/s and a build volume of up to 300300300 mm. It features an innovative motion system, which uses a lightweight printhead weighing just 190g to ensure swift movement. Data from the Creality Lab shows that K1 series ramps up to the top speed 600mm/s in only 0.03s at an acceleration of 20000mm/s2, and printing a 3DBenchy only costs 13 minutes, 12 times faster than the average.
It comes equipped with a new generation of Creality OS that runs on a 2-core 1.2GHz CPU, providing strong computing power for high-speed printing. With a network connection, the K1 series can be controlled or monitored remotely from Creality Print or Creality Cloud. Cluster control is also allowed when many K1 series printers are online. Once the printing is finished or a printing issue is detected, a notification will be sent to the user’s phone or PC.
The slicing software is crucial for high-speed printing, and the K1 series utilizes Creality Print 4.3, a new generation of self-developed slicing software optimizing nozzle movement and adding more algorithms to raise efficiency.
For print bed leveling, the K1 Max in particular, utilizes dual hands-free auto leveling. One is to level with an array of strain sensors. Another way is to level with 1μm AI LiDAR, a new type of non-contact measurement method that rapidly scans the build surface with a laser beam to form a virtual surface of a million points. Each of the two leveling methods ensures good leveling, and when combined, it has never been easier to achieve perfect leveling and print a perfect first layer.
The K1 Max also features an AI camera in the print chamber, allowing print monitoring in real-time with 1080p resolution. For K1 users, the AI camera and AI LiDAR can be purchased separately. Both the K1 and K1 Max employ G-sensors to solve the resonance issue and eliminate ringing or ghosting patterns on the surface of models caused by high-speed printing.
The K1 and K1 Max are available for pre-sale on Creality Official Stores, and local stores in the US and EU from today.
HALOT-MAGE series – new era for smart resin printing
The HALOT-MAGE series, including the HALOT-MAGE and HALOT-MAGE PRO, is Creality’s next-gen solution for smart resin printing. The HALOT-MAGE PRO is one of the fasted resin 3D printers on the market custom-made for miniatures, jewelry, dentistry, crafts, etc. With a printing speed up to 170mm/s, it is three to five times faster than other printers while maintaining excellent print quality.
The HALOT-MAGE PRO features an agile “Dynax” motion system, through which the build plate can be steadily lifted and lowered in just 1.2 seconds, then ready for printing the next layer. Besides the hardware, with the self-developed motor algorithm, the motor speed can achieve 100mm/s, which upgrades the printing speed from a software perspective. The next iteration of HALOT BOX slicing software adds solid supports to the models.
This printer also includes a large 10.3-inch 8K LCD screen for more refined print quality. Creality’s latest resin technology – Integral Light Source 3.0 promises consistent quality regardless of where the print is placed on the build plate. Users can operate this printer remotely via WiFi or RJ45 cable and take advantage of smart features such as auto resin fill & withdrawal, smart air purifier, and a replaceable activated carbon filter for a more efficient printing experience.
The “MageArch” flip lid of the HALOT-MAGE PRO is easy to open and close with one hand and needless to place aside. The orange tint is practical to block 99.89% of ambient UV light for minimal interference.
The HALOT-MAGE, an affordable smart resin printer for miniature makers to unleash their creativities, also features a 10.3-inch 8K LCD screen with an air purification system and the “MageArch” flip lid.
Sermoon D3 Pro – Solid performance and high productivity
The Sermoon D3 Pro inherited the industrial-grade stability of the Sermoon D3 released last year. It features a printing speed up to 300mm/s, characteristics such as LAN printing, and compatibility with various materials, making it suitable for industrial production, prototyping, and education.
The Sermoon D3 Pro uses a dual extrusion system that adds support printing capability while ensuring stable support structures. It has undergone rigorous validation and supports over 20 types of materials, such as water-soluble and metal filaments, and over 30 material combinations.
The Sermoon D3 Pro’s active heating function improves print quality, while the constant temperature chamber design effectively eliminates internal model deformation. It also uses an intelligent automatic leveling system that only requires one button press to complete, saving time and effort.
Creality has also partnered with BASF Forward AM to release a metal and support printing additive manufacturing solution based on FDM technology for the Sermoon D3 Pro. Using BASF’s metal & support filaments and global sintering service, together with the Sermoon D3 Pro 3D printer, this solution can save users half of the sample printing time and improve production efficiency by over 80%.
