IRVINE, Calif., July 8, 2026 – The world of 3D printing has reached a significant milestone with the introduction of the HeyGears G1X, the first desktop machine to combine full-color 3D and UV printing into one compact system. Traditionally, creating multi-colored 3D prints has posed challenges, as options like multi-color FDM printing lack detail, while resin printing requires tedious manual painting to achieve color.
The G1X aims to revolutionize this process by merging full-color 3D printing, 3D texture capability, and 2D UV printing into a single platform, designed specifically for creators, makers, and small businesses. Now, users can produce detailed, paint-free color models and high-resolution textured surfaces using hundreds of compatible materials.
Features of the HeyGears G1X
- 3D Printing Mode: Produces full-color 3D models and deep relief prints (up to 150 mm), using a specialized ink set for interior and exterior colors.
- UV Printing Mode: Offers high-speed flatbed printing with up to 1440 × 2400 DPI resolution for vibrant colors and fine details across over 400 materials like metal, wood, and ceramics.
In addition to its innovative printing capabilities, the G1X is built with cost-efficiency in mind, integrating an affordable ink system which reduces operating costs during frequent use. The industrial-grade Epson I3200 printhead enhances both performance and longevity, minimizing maintenance needs.
Enhancing the Creative Process
The G1X incorporates AI-powered tools and auto-calibration features to streamline the transition from digital to physical products. Users can quickly create high-fidelity models from basic sketches or images, making the process accessible even for those without extensive 3D modeling skills. Furthermore, the integrated HeyVerse AI and Blueprint Studio assist in generating and aligning models for optimal print quality.
Availability
The HeyGears G1X will soon be launching on Kickstarter, offering early bird pricing for interested buyers. A limited-time offer allows backers to secure their spot with a $50 deposit, which includes a free 300ml bottle of White UV Ink.
