Xiaomi has unveiled its new Mijia 3D printer, available for a retail price of 1999 yuan (US$ 279), with a special crowdfunding price of 1699 yuan (US$ 237). The 3D printer stands out with its printing and curing two-in-one design, making it ready-to-use directly from the factory with no assembly required. This user-friendly approach coupled with its sophisticated technology makes it an excellent option for both beginners and more experienced users.
In a bid to make 3D printing more accessible
and efficient, the Xiaomi Mijia 3D printer employs artificial intelligence (AI)
to automatically adjust the slicing parameters, thereby eliminating the need
for manual adjustments. This advanced feature is complemented by a
solidification system engineered specifically for intricate structures, working
in tandem with eco-friendly consumables. The integration of these innovative
technologies ensures enhanced stability and robustness of the prints.
The printer is also equipped with an
independent material cartridge compartment, which automates the process of
feeding/retraction, much like a conventional printer. This function not only
simplifies the process of material cartridge replacement but also offers a
pause and resume feature, making it possible to halt the printing process in
the event of a material shortage and resume it later. Further technical
specifications include a Z-axis single-line guide rail, a custom high-power
motor, and a customized LCD transmissive screen providing illumination of
100-110 mw/cm².
In terms of model support, Xiaomi’s new
Mijia 3D printer comes with its proprietary model library, while also allowing
for user-uploaded models. Notably, it enables face scanning for modeling,
opening doors to a variety of applications. Additionally, the 3D printer
includes gamified 3D design tools, perfect for activities like character
sculpting and pottery making.
The Mijia 3D printer’s design is both
simple and functional, boasting a rounded appearance and simplified operations.
This device combines ease of use with advanced features, creating a
comprehensive package that caters to a wide audience. Crowdfunding for the
Xiaomi Mijia 3D printer will begin on August 2nd on the Xiaomi Youpin platform.
