What happened?
The HeyGears G1X Series has passed $15 million on Kickstarter. The Chinese platform aims to combine full-color 3D printing, textured UV work and conventional UV printing in a desktop system.
Key details
- The campaign moved beyond $15 million in early September.
- G1X uses an industrial i3200 printhead and UV-cured material deposition for color output.
- HeyGears positions the platform for 2D UV, 3D texture and full-color 3D workflows.
- As with any crowdfunded hardware, manufacturing and delivery risks still need to be considered.
Why it matters
If the hardware delivers on its promises, full-color 3D printing could become more accessible to smaller studios and workshops. The campaign also shows strong demand for desktop manufacturing technologies beyond conventional FDM and resin systems.
