3DUJ-553
Mimaki 3DUJ-553
The world’s first UV-curable
color 3D inkjet printer
The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 is the first 3D solution to print with over 10 million colors, enabling photorealistic creation of signage, prototypes, parts, products and other 3D applications that previously required separate painting. With the UV LED curing method, objects can be printed in layers and a UV ink finish of approximately 22 microns applied using CMYK colors and varnish, producing a quality finished object.
The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 printer features fast start-up times and minimal energy usage, reducing overall running costs.
Full color UV LED 3D printer with photoREALISTIC quality
The Mimaki 3DUJ-553 offers the world’s first 3D modeling with over 10 million color combinations, covering approximately 84% of the FOGRA39L and 90% of SWOP color gamuts. With layer thickness as fine as 19 μm, the printer produces smooth and visually stunning 3D models.
The unique features of the Mimaki 3DUJ-553 enable the creative production of durable objects up to 50 x 50 x 30 cm in size. The printer also features fast start-up times and low energy consumption, helping to reduce overall operating costs.
Over 10 million colors
This equipment can print objects layer by layer by applying UV ink using CMYK, white and transparent in a layer thickness of 22, 32 or 42 microns, producing a finished object of excellent quality.
Control Chamber
The 3DUJ-553 has a monitoring camera that allows users to remotely observe the modeling status and follow the entire process without any surprises.
Stable operation
Continuous ink flow is possible when using a sub-ink tank. This prevents pigment deposits, air bubbles and ensures that the ink is emitted correctly, maintaining a stable printing environment with extremely high printer uptime.
Soluble Support
The 3DUJ-553 uses a water-soluble support structure. Removing the support material with water allows for the creation of highly detailed models without damaging the objects during the removal process.

FEATURES OF THE 3DUJ-553
Over 10 million colors
With its UV LED curing method, 3DUJ-553 is able to produce objects of excellent quality by applying layer after layer of CMYK, white and clear four-color UV ink with layers of 22, 33, 42 and 22 microns. UV LED curing applies only a minimal amount of heat to the object. This technology offers fast start-up times and minimal energy consumption, reducing overall management costs.
3DUJ-553 is the world’s first 3D printer to use color profiles. This means not only accurate colors, but also realistic color display on the monitor. Reliable color simulation before printing saves time and reduces waste.
By implementing a color profile created with Mimaki MPM3 (optional) on Adobe Photoshop, the color can be simulated and checked already on the monitor. The color result of the printed object will be realistic and corresponding to the image, with great benefits in terms of work efficiency. The object is printed full color in one shot!
UV ink hardens when exposed to UV light. Mimaki technology is based on layering UV ink, layer by layer, until the desired pattern is completed.
The 3D data is processed so that the ink and support material are printed simultaneously.
The use of transparent ink adds an additional effect to 3D printed objects, especially if backlit. The combination of CMYK colors with transparent allows you to give free rein to your creativity by creating plays of color and effects with different levels of transparency.
The inks used by 3DUJ-553 contain an acrylic resin capable of generating resistance equivalent to ABS. This means that painting, drilling and screwing can be done without risk of damaging the object. It also provides greater resistance to atmospheric agents, surface uniformity and solidity.
3DUJ-553 uses a water-soluble support material that can be easily removed with water. This allows for removal even on extremely delicate objects without the risk of damage.
Continuous production is possible thanks to the use of highly innovative print heads that prevent pigment sedimentation or air bubbles and ensure accurate ink delivery. In addition, Mimaki technology is designed to increase uptime and maintain high levels of reliability and production repeatability.
3DUJ-553 features a control camera that allows the user to remotely monitor the modeling process at every stage.
It should be noted that the performance of the machines depends on the type of material used.
Therefore, it is recommended to carry out a test before purchasing.
In this regard, carefully read the product brochures where all the information relating to each machine is given.
