IRVINE, Calif., July 8, 2026 — HeyGears has unveiled the G1X, the world’s first desktop full-color 3D and UV printer, aimed at creators, makers, studios, and small businesses. The launch addresses a long-standing challenge in digital fabrication: integrating color into the 3D printing process at an accessible price point. Traditional methods either sacrifice detail or require intensive manual work.
The G1X innovatively combines full-color 3D printing, 3D texturing, and 2D UV printing into a single desktop system. This enables users to create vibrant, detailed models and customize textures across various materials without the need for post-print painting. By offering paint-free full-color models, deep relief printing, and high-resolution customization, creators gain a versatile tool for transforming digital concepts into tangible products.
