Creality has just launched multiple new products in celebration of the company’s anniversary. At the 9th Anniversary and Spring Event titled “Reflect and Renew”, Creality launches the K1 series, HALOT-MAGE series, Sermoon D3 Pro, CR-Scan Ferret, Creality Nebula Pad+AI LiDAR, and other accessories. Alongside these new products, Creality also launches a series of 3D printed footwear solutions.
“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.”
600mm/s printing with the K1 series
Creality’s FDM flagship K1 series, including K1 and K1 Max, is a professional-grade CoreXY 3D printer lineup that boasts a printing speed of up to 600mm/s and a build volume of 300 x 300 x 300mm. It features an innovative motion system, which uses a lightweight printhead (190g) to ensure swift movement. Data from the Creality Lab shows that the K1 series ramps up to the top speed of 600mm/s in only 0.03 seconds at an acceleration of 20000mm/s². Creality reports that, at this speed, printing a 3DBenchy only takes 13 minutes.
The K1 series printers come 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 enabled 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 connected phone or PC.
The K1 series also 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, utilizes dual hands-free auto leveling. One method uses an array of strain sensors, and the other uses 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.
The K1 Max also features an AI camera in the print chamber, that allows for 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.
Both the K1 ($599) and K1 Max ($999) are now available to order.
Smart resin printing with the HALOT-MAGE series
The HALOT-MAGE series, including the HALOT-MAGE and HALOT-MAGE PRO, is Creality’s next-generation solution for smart resin printing. The HALOT-MAGE PRO is one of the fastest resin 3D printers on the market – custom-made for miniatures, jewelry, dentistry, crafts, etc, and has a printing speed of up to 170mm/s.
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. With the self-developed motor algorithm, the motor speed can achieve 100mm/s. The next iteration of HALOT BOX slicing software adds solid supports to the models.
Manufacturing on Demand
The 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 and withdrawal, a smart air purifier, and a replaceable activated carbon filter for a more efficient printing experience.
The orange tint of the ‘MageArch’ flip lid blocks out 99.89% of ambient UV light for minimal interference.
The Sermoon D3 Pro
The Sermoon D3 Pro inherited the industrial-grade stability of the Sermoon D3, which was released last year. It features a printing speed of up to 300mm/s, characteristics such as LAN printing, and is compatible 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.
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 and support filaments and global sintering service, together with the Sermoon D3 Pro 3D printer, this solution can reportedly save users half of the sample printing time and improve production efficiency by over 80%.
Additional offerings
The CR-Scan Ferret is a 3D scanner designed to make modeling easy and accessible. With its efficient ASIC chip, full-color camera, and structured light, the Ferret produces high-quality scans, even in bright sunlight. The Ferret’s handhold stand allows for both handheld and turntable modes, making it ideal for scanning small and large objects. Weighing only 105g, the Ferret is compact, easy to carry, and a perfect tool for creating 3D models with ease.
The Nebula Pad is an all-in-one smart interactive terminal allowing for faster, higher-quality printing. Paired with the AI LiDAR, it can achieve auto-leveling, first-layer detection, and filament flow monitoring – significantly improving print quality and print success rate. Additionally, when paired with a 1080P USB camera with night vision, the Nebula Pad can provide 24-hour monitoring and time-lapse photography to capture the entire printing process and detect spaghetti issues.
3D printed footwear
For the first time, Creality has unveiled a series of one-stop FDM 3D printed footwear solutions. Creality developed a professional-grade ‘Sprite’ extruder for soft materials with a series of 3D footwear models. This package caters to those seeking personalized footwear designs, and medical institutions that want to print custom diabetic-friendly shoes and orthotic insoles.
9th Anniversary Sale
From April 10 to April 15, Creality Official US, EU, UK, and DE stores are offering up to 60% off on best-selling products like the Ender-5 S1 and Ender-3 S1 Pro.
