Elegoo Launches Saturn 4 Ultra 16K

Elegoo, a global smart manufacturing brand, has launched the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K, the latest addition to its line of advanced resin 3D printers. This new model builds on the success of the original Saturn 4 Ultra, Elegoo's resin printer, with user-friendly features, the company says.

Equipped with a 10-in. 16K Mono LCD screen, the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K offers a 14x19 μm XY resolution and 0.02 mm Z-axis accuracy, made for industries and applications, such as gaming, dentistry, and other sectors needing fine detail, Elegoo says.

The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K also combines performance with user-friendly features, including a quick-release, non-slip design and a smart tank heating system that keeps resin at 30°C for consistent print quality, even in low temperatures. These upgrades, based on user feedback, offer ease of use and professional-grade capabilities.

“This model represents the culmination of our latest innovations,” says Chris Hong, founder and CEO of Elegoo. “As a leader in resin 3D printing, our goal is to enhance the user experience and continue advancing our mission of making 3D printing technology accessible and beneficial for everyone.”

Smarter Printing 

The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K offers a printing speed of up to 150 mm/h and a build volume of 211.68x118.37x220 mm, made for small and larger prints. Like the original Saturn 4 Ultra, the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K incorporates Elegoo's Tilt Release Technology. By tilting the resin tank, the model is peeled off from the release film rapidly, enhancing the overall printing speed, according to Elegoo.

For the first time, the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K features a smart tank heating system that keeps the resin at 30°C. This ensures optimal fluidity and enhanced layer adhesion. The system reportedly can enhance print quality and boost success rates, such as in low-temperature environments.

The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K also has smart sensors that detect residue and alert users to resin shortages or leveling issues. The integrated AI camera provides real-time monitoring and failure detection, while Wi-Fi cluster printing enables control of multiple printers.

Enhanced Slicing Experience 

The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K is compatible with SatelLite, Elegoo's first slicing solution offering resin printing with universal compatibility, supporting both Elegoo and other brands. 

Currently available for Windows, SatelLite ensures pro-grade slicing for any user, the company claims. Mac compatibility is coming soon. For additional flexibility, the Saturn 4 Ultra 16K also supports ChituBox, enabling users to choose their preferred slicing software.

Price and Availability

The Saturn 4 Ultra 16K is available on the Elegoo's official store, priced at $519.99 USD in the United States. For pricing information in the UK, EU, Canada, Australia, and Japan, the company recommends visiting its regional stores.
