Loading... Please wait...Traditional multi-color printers require multiple steps during filament changes and generate significant waste. Snapmaker U1 integrates SnapSwap™ technology, enabling toolhead swaps in about five seconds while reducing material loss to around 20%.
Conventional solutions often waste several times more material than they use. U1’s material handling minimizes this, making the process more cost-effective and sustainable.
Multi-head systems require precise alignment. U1 uses compensation algorithms to keep deviation between heads under 0.04 mm. Mesh bed leveling ensures a flat build surface and reliable first-layer adhesion.
Each machine undergoes thorough testing to meet standards for durability and structural integrity. The design is intended for long-term use with consistent performance.
For over a decade, Snapmaker has developed modular systems for makers. U1 continues this with a focus on speed, multi-color capability, and automation.
