Many people can't distinguish between UV printer and 3D printer. In fact, they are different machines, but UV printer can print relief and other concave convex effects. It is different from the real 3D printer. Their differences are as follows:

1、 Different kinds. UV printer is a printing equipment, and 3D printer is an upgraded product of injection molding machine.

2、 Different applications. UV printers mainly print 3D relief three-dimensional patterns on the surface of various materials; 3D printers are made into models by injection molding and stacking. UV printer can print pattern text and graphic color on any plane material, but it can't print three-dimensional objects. 3D printer can quickly form technology. It is based on digital analog files, and then uses metal powder or plastic to print layer by layer to construct objects. UV printer is mainly used for color printing on the plane, while 3D printer is used for printing three-dimensional images. Therefore, there are great differences in function and working mode between them.

In fact, the so-called 3D printing of UV printer is not an accurate statement. Pure 3D printing is real additive printing, not ink jet printing of UV printer. The reason why there is such a statement is that the concave convex pattern on the surface of the medium formed after the white ink stack printing of the UV flat-panel printer is caused and can be perceived by touch.
