High-Speed 500mm/s 3D Printing

The Creality Hi is engineered for fast, efficient and accurate 3D printing, making it an excellent choice for users who want to produce high-quality models in less time.

With a maximum printing speed of 500mm/s, a typical speed of 300mm/s and acceleration of up to 12,000mm/s², the printer significantly reduces production times compared with many traditional entry-level FDM 3D printers.

The advanced motion system uses step-servo motors on the X and Y axes to deliver precise movement control, while the sturdy aluminium-alloy frame provides improved stability during high-speed printing.

Integrated input shaping technology uses a G-sensor to help compensate for vibrations, reducing ringing and improving surface quality.

Whether producing functional prototypes, decorative models, replacement parts or customised products, the Creality Hi provides an excellent balance between speed, accuracy and reliability.

Actual printing speeds depend on filament type, model complexity and slicing settings.

Large 260 × 260 × 300mm Build Volume

The Creality Hi features a generous 260 × 260 × 300mm printing area, providing additional flexibility for larger projects and more complex designs.

The increased build volume makes it suitable for printing:

• Larger decorative models and figurines

• Mechanical components and engineering prototypes

• Custom electronic enclosures and project housings

• Architectural models and design concepts

• Cosplay accessories and props

• Functional replacement parts

• Multiple smaller components in a single printing session

This versatile build area makes the Creality Hi suitable for both personal projects and small-scale manufacturing applications.

Fully Automatic Bed Levelling and Intelligent Calibration

The Creality Hi is designed to make 3D printing easier with intelligent automatic calibration features that reduce the need for manual adjustments.

Its strain-gauge-based automatic bed levelling system helps achieve accurate first-layer positioning and consistent adhesion.

Intelligent calibration features include:

• Fully automatic bed levelling

• Automatic first-layer calibration

• Input shaping with integrated G-sensor

• Automatic pressure advance tuning

• Convenient filament loading and unloading

These features simplify printer setup, improve consistency and help reduce failed prints.

The printer also includes a two-sided epoxy flexible build plate, designed to provide reliable first-layer adhesion while allowing completed models to be removed more easily.

300°C All-Metal Hotend and Direct-Drive Extruder

The Creality Hi is equipped with a high-performance all-metal hotend capable of reaching temperatures of up to 300°C, providing excellent versatility for different 3D printing materials.

Its direct-drive extruder features durable steel gears for reliable filament feeding and consistent extrusion, even during high-speed printing.

The printer also features a durable tri-metal nozzle designed for efficient heat transfer and long-term printing performance.

Compatible filament types include:

• PLA: Ideal for beginners, decorative models, prototypes and general-purpose 3D printing.

• Hyper PLA: Optimised for high-speed printing with improved flow characteristics.

• PETG: Suitable for durable functional components, brackets and mechanical parts.
