Elegoo's Saturn 4 Ultra 3D Printer Receives Fast Company's Tech Award for 2024
Elegoo, a fast-growing player in the smart manufacturing landscape, has made headlines by announcing that its flagship product, the Saturn 4 Ultra 3D printer, has been awarded a prestigious accolade by Fast Company as part of its Next Big Things in Tech for 2024. This recognition emphasizes breakthrough innovations that are significantly shaping industries and enhancing everyday life.
From a competitive field of 1,400 contenders, the Saturn 4 Ultra was distinguished for its remarkable technological advancements, particularly its innovative Tilt Release Technology. This unique feature optimizes print speed and reliability. As noted by Jared Newman, a judge from Fast Company, "3D printers aren’t typically known for being fast, but Elegoo has cracked the code to speed up the operation while maintaining quality. By employing a tilting resin vat, the Saturn 4 can remove layers of the release liner with greater efficiency than traditional methods, resulting in increased print speeds and fewer errors — all without the need for costly specialty resins."
Released earlier this year, the Saturn 4 Ultra is catered to a wide audience, including beginners, enthusiasts, and professionals. It showcases a plethora of advanced features designed for precision 3D printing. Capable of printing layers in as little as 5.5 seconds, the Saturn 4 Ultra houses a 12K Mono LCD that ensures high-resolution details, along with a COB (Chip on Board) and Fresnel Collimating Lens that help achieve smoother surface finishes.
Moreover, the printer boasts a hands-free automatic leveling system and an AI-driven detection system that monitors the printing process in real-time while capturing time-lapse footage. Connectivity options like Wi-Fi file transfers, cluster printing, and power-loss resume functionality further enhance its usability, making it an all-in-one solution for diverse printing requirements.
In addition to the Fast Company accolade, the Saturn 4 Ultra has earned several other distinctions in 2024, including the Editor’s Choice award from Tom's Hardware, the Highly Recommended award from GamesRadar, and accolades from prominent design competitions such as the A'Design Award and French Design Award.
For enthusiasts eager to explore more about this groundbreaking printer, details and purchasing options are available on Elegoo's official website, with the price set at $399.
