Story
Looking for broader resin compatibility, higher success rates, and finer detail? Photon P1 delivers industrial-grade reliability at a consumer-friendly price, giving you the freedom to use high-viscosity resins and achieve consistent, high-precision prints with ease.
At Anycubic, user experience is our top priority. For years, we’ve pushed the boundaries of 3D printing, continuously evolving to meet user needs. Kickstarter gives us an opportunity to engage with experienced makers, gather high-quality feedback, and upgrade Photon P1 alongside our community.
Since the campaign began, we’ve received invaluable insights, and based on your feedback, we’ve already implemented several key product optimizations to improve safety, stability, and usability:
- Upgraded UV Cover
Improved UV-blocking performance, better suited for more demanding and prosumer use. Check out the video below to see the test results!
- Optimized Resin VAT MAX Fill Line
Adjusted to a lower position for enhanced safety and more stable printing. Check out the video below to see the test results!
As a trusted brand, we ensure that every unit follows Anycubic’s strict quality standards before delivery.

Most desktop printers tap out at 2,000 cps. Photon P1 handles up to 8,000 cps—unlocking high-viscosity engineering resins, dental materials, and elastic composites previously industrial-only. From production dental work to collectible batching, material choice becomes creative freedom rather than technical limitation.
Consistency begins with three systems working in concert. Wave Release Technology cuts peel force 60% for clean layer separation. Industrial-grade ball screw achieves ±0.01mm repeatability across thousands of cycles. LighTurbo 4.0 delivers >92% illumination uniformity at 112 points. Complex geometries and fine details reproduced faithfully. When print 1 succeeds, print 1,000 succeeds identically.
Print two colors or materials in a single job—no separate prints, no assembly delays. With Photon Workshop 4.0, Photon P1 can apply different parameters simultaneously, from dual-hardness dental models to multi-color figurines. The optional Dual-Material Print Kit minimizes expensive resin waste on small prints or handles full 6.5L builds. Creative freedom without compromise.

Industrial resin printers deliver exceptional precision at $1,000+ price tags that lock out most creators. Photon P1 closes the performance gap. It delivers near-industrial capability without industrial overhead. That’s the breakthrough.
In the consumer market, the M7 series focuses on fast, intelligent printing for hobbyists, while the P1 features an upgraded core printing system that prioritizes precision, stability, and consistency, delivering finer details and more reliable results.
At Germany’s Formnext 2025 exhibition, industry professionals, print farm operators, and advanced makers experienced P1’s near-industrial printing capabilities firsthand. The response? Consistent validation of build quality, printing stability, and material versatility. When your reputation depends on output quality, peer validation matters. P1 earned it.
This new video from Scale Model Geek is a must-watch. It offers an early look at our latest Photon Workshop 4.0, along with quick previews of validation models and ultra-fine prints that showcase the P1’s precision.
Greedy 3D highlighted the Photon P1’s outstanding performance. Its 14K screen and LighTurbo 4.0 system deliver highly detailed models. The built-in camera lets you monitor prints in real time, and the supports are easy to remove, making it easy for beginners to get started.
In this video, SpensPainting showcases the Photon P1’s wide resin compatibility and industrial-grade ball screw system. The P1 is easy to operate and delivers high-quality, detailed prints.
Industrial-grade ball screw achieves ±0.01 mm repeatability across 10,000 cycles and Z-axis precision within 0.02 mm. These aren’t launch-day specs—they hold through long-term use. The result: uniform layer thickness, smooth surface transitions, and consistent dimensional accuracy without degradation. Print 1 matches print 1,000.
Precision-Milled Steel Plate for Reliable Performance
Precision-Milled Steel Build Plate (flatness tolerance <80 μm) outperforms aluminum in flatness, wear resistance, and adhesion stability, which is critical for warp-free bases and consistent layer thickness. For high-viscosity industrial resins up to 8,000 cps, the optional Perforated Steel Build Plate lowers downforce, ensuring stable prints with challenging materials.

Precision Screen Alignment for Flawless Prints
Photon P1’s 14K LCD (16.8 μm X-axis, 24.8 μm Y-axis) captures fine details. The <70 μm installation flatness ensures uniform light projection and consistent layer thickness, directly impacting first-layer success. True precision comes from systems integration: flat LCD, optimized optics, industrial-grade motion. Components working in concert, not specs in isolation.
This system adds a high-transparency wave-textured layer above the screen, which works with the NFEP film to ensure uniform light transmission for precise curing. Wave Release Technology, which forms controlled micro-airflow as the build plate lifts. This reduces peel force by up to 60%, allowing each layer to separate smoothly while keeping adhesion stable. The result: stable adhesion, flawless surfaces, quieter operation.

More Precise, More Vertical Light
Sharper light, sharper prints. Built with an aspherical Fresnel lens, LighTurbo 4.0 achieves collimation accuracy of <2°, ensuring every beam travels straight and true to cure each layer precisely. The result: sharper layer boundaries, cleaner contours, finer details. No halos. No ghosting. Just flawlessly defined surfaces.
More Uniform Light
Full-screen rolling calibration delivers >92% illumination uniformity across 112 measurement points. Center to edge, brightness remains constant; no overexposure, no underexposure. Every inch of the build platform receives balanced exposure. Multiple prints maintain uniform size, precision, and surface consistency. Each layer aligns seamlessly, forming a flawless whole.
The Final Result
Sharper light. Smoother prints. <2° collimation and >92% uniformity translate to visible quality: crisper edges, cleaner layer transitions, finer detail resolution. Every layer cures with precision, eliminating soft boundaries, surface inconsistencies, and compromised features. The result: prints that look remarkably clean and precise. LighTurbo 4.0 perfects what light creates.
Compatible with industrial resins up to 8,000 cps, from BJD figurines and dental models to high-temperature engineering materials. Wave Release Technology and Intelligent Dynamic Lift 3.0 System adapt in real-time, adjusting height and speed based on resin viscosity. Strong adhesion. Smooth separation. Consistent curing across the entire material spectrum. Ultra-viscous industrial resins perform flawlessly on a desktop device.
