ELEGOO, a prominent player in the 3D printing sector, announced the release of two new models, the Saturn 4 Ultra and Saturn 4, on April 15. These models are touted to introduce a new era in 3D printing, characterized by enhanced speed, precision, and ease of use.
The Saturn 4 Ultra is tailored to meet the needs of beginners, enthusiasts, and professionals. It is versatile enough for use in a variety of industries. One of its notable features is the Tilt Release Technology, which allows for efficient model removal by tilting the resin tank and LCD screen. This facilitates a quick transition between fast and slow print modes and substantially cuts down on printing time, achieving speeds of up to 5.5 seconds per layer.
In addition to speed, the Saturn 4 Ultra boasts a 12K Mono LCD for detailed imaging, combined with COB and Fresnel Collimating Lens for smoother surfaces. The printer also features automatic leveling, hands-free operation, and an AI-driven detection and alarm system. This system monitors the printing process, sends alerts for empty build plates or warping, and captures time-lapse videos. Further enhancing its functionality are features such as Wi-Fi file transfer, cluster printing, and the ability to resume printing after a power loss.
The Saturn 4, offered at a starting price of $299, shares many of the Ultra model’s advanced features but at a more accessible price point. It also includes a 12K Mono LCD and the same lens technology for high-quality prints. Designed with a flip-up style, it caters to both hobbyists and professionals by combining convenience with high performance, providing a build volume of 218.88 x 122.88 x 220 mm³ and automatic leveling, complemented by mechanical sensor alerts for precise printing.
