What do anatomy and 3D printing have in common? As the science of the shape and structure of the human body, anatomy has always been the foundation of medical and scientific knowledge and a common thread that runs through the training and professional development of every physician. The discipline's focus on studying and therefore producing a figurative representation of the human form, with a degree of truth and accuracy, has played a crucial role in ensuring effective teaching and dissemination of anatomical knowledge. The emergence of 3D printing as an advanced technology marks a new turning point in human anatomy.

10 million colors of high fidelity

In some 3D applications, color is essential to ensure that the printed content is truly rendered. Mimaki's technology enables 10 million colors, providing the range of colors needed to accurately reproduce complex models. Medical professionals, researchers, or educational organizations use 3D printing to provide anatomical models or even truly skin-matching prosthetics that require excellent color fidelity. This is the case with Mimaki's client Universita di Firenze (University of Florence), which has chosen Mimaki's technology to print models of human hearts and help students identify their structures during surgery or dissection.

Simplify processes and reduce costs

For those who make complex, detailed scale models, figurines, heart models, collectibles or product prototypes, the color range and accuracy offer a clear differentiating advantage to your business. Whether it's prototyping a character for a new video game, a new perfume package, or a scale model of a client's yacht, it can be time-consuming and expensive to complete the model with hand-drawn colors and details. Adding high quality full color 3D printing simplifies the process and still provides a high value model.

The possibilities of art and design are endless

Creatives often use color in their artwork and designs. For example, to be able to 3D print their concepts in their desired colors not only provides a quick and effective way to communicate prototype concepts to customers, but also allows designers and artists to achieve truly unlimited creativity. Printing color prototypes preserves the integrity of the model even from the conceptual stage.

Mimaki 3DUJ-2207

The small Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 is capable of printing more than 10 million colors to create richer, realistic full-color 3D models. The printer is designed to be easy to use, using quick-drying UV inks that shorten production time, clear resins to produce a variety of transparency, and water-soluble support materials for efficient post-processing. As a more widely available option in terms of price and availability, the Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 opens the door for businesses where full-color 3D printing is out of reach.

Mimaki 3DUJ-2207 applications

For scale models, because of the small construction area of the machine and the faster printing time, the design visualization can be achieved faster, and at the same time, the model can be flexibly re-edited and re-printed. For prototyping purposes, highly detailed models of the final product can be implemented, and white, colored, or transparent models can be printed to realistically show the appearance of the final product.

Mimaki3DUJ-553

The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 allows users to recreate their creative vision by printing more than 10 million colors as well as clear resins for transparent or partially transparent objects. With extremely high uptime, Mimaki customers are able to make the most of their investment and can use the printer for a variety of applications, including figurines, prototypes, architectural models, toys, art, and more.

Mimaki 3DUJ-553 applications

The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 plus clear ink prints clear color medical models that are highly accurate in print detail, including the details needed to replicate textures and complex features. The expression of semitransparent (transparency with added color) also allows the interior of an organ to be visualized, which is useful in practical medical models.

The superior quality of Mimaki3D printing technology and its ability to achieve the color fidelity and ultra-realistic definition of the details required for anatomical models. 3D printing generally has the potential to significantly help transform teaching, education, and medical science research in the future. Future 3D-printed anatomical parts available to universities, research institutions and clinics to replace anatomical models and plasticized anatomical parts, both of which are highly valuable. Our company has a complete set of data analysis and personalized solutions for 3D full-color printing medical models, and you can call for consultation at any time if necessary.
