Chinese Toymaker Builds 2,300-Printer Snapmaker U1 Farm for Multi-Color 3D Printing

Chinese toy manufacturer Jinqi Toys has installed roughly 2,300 Snapmaker U1 3D printers with four independent printheads for multi-color production. Multi-color products grew from about 5% to over 50% of sales revenue in under a year, with waste savings estimated at RMB 2,000–3,000 per machine annually.

• Farm scaled from 300 single-head printers to about 2,300 Snapmaker U1 units
• U1 color change takes about 5 seconds versus roughly 120 seconds on single-head setups
• Waste and consumable savings estimated at RMB 2,000–3,000 per machine per year
• Color changes per product rose from 30–40 to 400–500
