About Project

Look at these adorable, custom-designed masterpieces! They are not mass-produced plastic toys; they are high-end, photorealistic 3D prints created using advanced Mimaki technology by one of our incredibly creative clients. Each little character radiates personality, from the cheeky wink under a frosty blue dragon hood to the peaceful, closed-eye serenity of the orange and green variations. The striking gloss, flawless gradients, and unbelievable character depth bring these promotional mascots to life in a way that regular manufacturing simply cannot touch.

The secret behind this breathtaking realism lies in the revolutionary Mimaki full-color UV-curable inkjet technology. Unlike traditional 3D printing that restricts you to single colors or demands hours of tedious, imperfect hand-painting, Mimaki operates on a whole different level. It builds and colors the model simultaneously, dropping and curing microscopic layers of liquid photopolymer with absolute pinpoint accuracy. This allows for the execution of over 10 million vivid color combinations, capturing everything from the sharp, iconic brand logo on the belly to the subtlest rosy flush on the cheeks with stunning, crisp definition.

Holding one of these figures feels like holding a piece of the future. The smooth, premium texture and the uncompromising color fidelity make it the ultimate medium for designers, brands, and artists who refuse to let their wildest imaginations be watered down by technical limitations. Whether it is intricate collectibles, complex prototypes, or deeply personal gifts, this technology ensures that what you see on your screen is exactly what you hold in your hands. Bring your most vibrant concepts into the physical world with FacFox’s full-color 3D printing services.

Solution

  • Step 1: The digital 3D models of the custom dragon mascots were designed and optimized for color printing by the client.
  • Step 2: The finalized files were sliced and imported into the specialized Mimaki 3D print preparation software.
  • Step 3: Liquid photopolymer resins and water-soluble support materials were jetted simultaneously through the inkjet print heads.
  • Step 4: Each microscopic layer of resin was cured instantly by UV LED lights as it was deposited onto the build platform.
  • Step 5: Millions of distinct ink colors were meticulously applied layer by layer to replicate the precise gradients and brand logos.
  • Step 6: The completed figures were removed from the printer, and the temporary support structures were dissolved in a water bath.
  • Step 7: A high-quality clear protective coating was applied to the surface to enhance the glossiness and durability of the prints.
