Anycubic Photon P1

The Anycubic Photon P1 represents a new era of semi-industrial resin printing, created for makers who demand more than typical consumer-level performance. With its advanced LighTurbo 4.0 optical system, Wave Release technology, and reinforced mechanical structure, the Photon P1 transforms even highly detailed digital designs into physical models with outstanding clarity. Ideal for dental models, BJDs, engineering parts, and transparent prototypes, this printer delivers smooth surfaces, sharp edges, and exceptional dimensional accuracy. Every element of its construction is engineered to maintain consistency across long print cycles, allowing creative ideas to take shape with unmatched precision.

Powerful Support for Ultra-Viscous Resins up to 8000 cps

One of the defining advantages of the Photon P1 is its ability to print industrial-grade resins with viscosities up to 8000 cps—something rarely available outside the category of high-end professional machines. Through Wave Release technology and a highly stable motion system, the printer maintains consistent flow, layer adhesion, and curing performance even with challenging elastic, engineering, and dual-component materials. This level of flexibility allows professionals to handle functional applications, specialty mechanical parts, and highly detailed artistic pieces with superior reliability and reduced material failure.

Industrial-Grade Ball Screw for Exceptional Layer Precision

To achieve consistently smooth layers, the Photon P1 uses an industrial-grade ball screw paired with precision linear rails. This system allows the Z-axis to move with exceptional stability, delivering repeatability of ±0.01mm over more than 10,000 lifting cycles. The machine also maintains Z-axis precision within 0.02mm, significantly reducing vibration and ensuring that each cured layer is positioned exactly where it needs to be. The result is improved surface quality, minimized visible layer lines, and the ability to produce highly accurate parts suitable for prototyping and production workflows.

Precision-Milled Steel Build Plate for Strong and Reliable Adhesion

The Photon P1 introduces a precision-ground steel build plate featuring a flatness tolerance of less than 80 microns. Compared to aluminum plates, steel offers superior rigidity, better wear resistance, and more consistent adhesion across the printing surface. This enhances first-layer performance and reduces the likelihood of warping or detachment during long prints. For users working with high-viscosity or industrial resins, an optional Perforated Steel Build Plate is available, designed to improve mechanical anchoring and ensure stable adhesion even for complex or large-volume prints.

Ultra-Accurate LCD Alignment Below 70 Microns

One of the most critical elements in resin printing is the flatness and alignment of the LCD exposure system. The Photon P1 achieves an installation tolerance of under 70 microns, ensuring that each pixel of the light source reaches the resin with optimal accuracy. This uniformity prevents inconsistent layer thickness, dimensional deformation, and soft edges—problems commonly seen in lower-end printers. With precise LCD alignment, users benefit from sharper details, higher print success rates, and more predictable performance even with demanding geometries.

Wave Release Technology Reducing Peel Force by Up to 60%

The Photon P1 leverages Wave Release technology, which significantly reduces peel force during the separation of each layer from the film—up to 60% lower than traditional systems. This reduction minimizes stress on delicate models, making it possible to print thin structures, fine details, and flexible geometries with far greater success. Paired with the NFEP film, which provides high transparency and uniform light transmission, the printer delivers exceptionally smooth surfaces and dramatically improves layer separation stability. The result is quieter operation, higher success rates, and better long-term mechanical reliability.

LighTurbo 4.0 Collimated Light System with <2° Accuracy

At the core of the Photon P1’s exposure system is the LighTurbo 4.0 module powered by an aspherical Fresnel lens. This design ensures that each beam of light remains highly collimated, with a deviation of less than 2 degrees. Such accuracy means the projected light does not spread or diffuse unnecessarily, preserving the sharpness of fine details and allowing edges to cure cleanly. This is essential for engineering-grade models, dental applications, miniatures, and any print requiring outstanding dimensional precision.

Over 92% Light Uniformity for Flawless Layer Formation

Achieving more than 92% uniformity across the entire exposure surface, the Photon P1 ensures every section of the build area receives balanced and consistent light. This level of uniformity eliminates localized overcuring or undercuring, which can cause banding, deformation, or inconsistent layer bonds in other printers. With Photon P1, each layer forms as a seamless continuation of the previous one, producing models with smooth surfaces and stable internal structures. This uniform exposure is especially important for large prints and pieces requiring functional mechanical strength.

Professional Compatibility with Dual-Component and High-Performance Resins

The Photon P1 supports advanced material workflows, including dual-component and elastic resin combinations. With the optional Dual Material Kit, the printer can handle two resin types simultaneously—with independent light, speed, and exposure calibration for each tank. This capability enables entirely new production approaches such as multi-material prototypes, specialized engineering components, and two-color artistic prints. Along with improved material efficiency, this flexibility reduces waste and ensures that premium resins perform at their full potential.

Temperature-Controlled Resin Vat Up to 40°C

The intelligent 1000ml Temperature-Controlled Resin Vat maintains the ideal printing temperature for each resin, automatically adjusting to ensure consistent flow and proper curing. Viscosity changes dramatically with temperature, and without control, resin may print inconsistently or fail to bond between layers. With heating capability up to 40°C, the Photon P1 eliminates these fluctuations, resulting in more predictable performance, reduced print failures, and improved dimensional accuracy—especially when working with thick engineering resins.

Intelligent Leveling System 3.0 for Ready-to-Print Accuracy

Every Photon P1 arrives factory-calibrated using the Intelligent Leveling System 3.0, ensuring a perfectly flat and aligned print platform out of the box. Before every print, the system also performs supplemental checks to verify stability, helping maintain optimal adhesion and consistent first-layer performance. This eliminates the complexity of manual leveling and significantly improves success rates, particularly for newcomers or users who frequently switch materials and printing parameters.

Dynamic Release 3.0 for Real-Time Mechanical Adjustment

Dynamic Release 3.0 continuously monitors mechanical forces during layer separation and adjusts lifting behavior accordingly. It fine-tunes lift height and lift speed to match resin viscosity, model geometry, and printing conditions. This level of intelligent compensation ensures smoother transitions between layers and reduces mechanical stress on the model. As a result, users experience fewer print failures, improved detail preservation, and enhanced reliability during demanding prints.

Dynamic Light-Off Compensation 3.0 for Optimized Layer Curing

The Photon P1 calculates resin flow in real time and automatically adjusts light-off time for each layer. This allows curing to proceed with precise timing, preventing issues such as excessive curing, unclear edges, or weak interlayer adhesion. For complex prints involving thin walls, micro-details, or extreme geometries, this system ensures each layer receives the exact exposure it requires—no more, no less—leading to exceptional consistency and accuracy across the entire model.

Photon Workshop 4.0 for Simplified, Automated Slicing

The upgraded Photon Workshop 4.0 introduces a streamlined slicing workflow with optimized one-click slicing, automatic support generation, and integrated resin profiles. The slicer intelligently selects exposure parameters, lift settings, and stability options based on the chosen resin, ensuring readiness with minimal manual adjustments. With remote monitoring, built-in camera support, dual network connectivity, and OTA updates, users benefit from a smooth and efficient printing experience. One-click slicing and printing will become fully available in Q2 2026.
