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:
