Built for Consistency, Not One-Off Success

As resin printing moves beyond display models toward functional prototypes and small-batch production, consistency over long print runs has become a critical requirement. Photon P1 is designed around system-level stability, ensuring predictable results across repeated jobs rather than isolated print success.

At the core of this approach is Anycubic’s LighTurbo 4.0 optical engine, delivering highly collimated illumination (<2°) and over 92% light uniformity across the build area. This uniform exposure helps reduce dimensional drift when printing full build plates or running extended production cycles.

Mechanical stability is provided by an industrial-grade Z-axis assembly featuring a ball screw and precision linear rails, enabling repeatable vertical positioning within ±0.01 mm. A Precision-Milled Steel Build Plate, flatter and more rigid than traditional aluminum plates, further supports consistent first-layer adhesion and long-term reliability.

Together, these systems form a stable foundation for dimensional accuracy, surface consistency, and repeatable output—key requirements for professional users.

High-Viscosity Resin Readiness

Photon P1 is engineered to handle industrial-grade resin materials with viscosities up to 8000 cps, significantly expanding the range of materials accessible on a desktop platform. These include tough, heat-resistant, and elastomeric resins commonly used in functional prototyping, mechanical testing, and validation models.

A temperature-controlled 1000 ml resin vat helps maintain optimal material flow, while controlled peeling behavior and stable exposure performance reduce common failure points associated with high-viscosity resins. This allows users to work with demanding materials using predictable, repeatable settings rather than constant manual tuning.

Optional Dual-Material Resin Printing

Photon P1 also introduces optional dual-material and dual-color printing via an add-on Dual-Material Print Kit. Using a dual-vat configuration paired with a forked build plate, the system allows two resins or colors to be printed within a single job.

This capability enables new workflows such as separating functional and visual zones within a model, or reducing post-processing by producing multi-part assemblies in a single print operation. For designers, engineers, and professional creators, dual-material printing streamlines iteration and improves clarity during testing and presentation.

Intelligent Automation for Reliable Printing

Photon P1 integrates Anycubic’s Intelligent Assistant 3.0, designed to reduce manual intervention and improve print reliability across varied materials and workloads.

Key automation features include factory-calibrated and smart-assisted checks before ever print dynamic release adjustment to optimize peeling behavior, and exposure compensation to balance speed and consistency. Optional AI-assisted monitoring enables detection of common issues such as build plate placement and model stability.

These systems allow users to start prints with confidence and maintain consistent results during unattended or batch operations.

Designed for Professional Workspaces

Beyond core performance, Photon P1 introduces a series of user-focused refinements aimed at professional and studio environments. Features such as Quick-Release Build Platform & Resin Tank, a Hinged Flip Cover, Silent Printing ≤45 dB, and optional AirPure 2.0 filtration help integrate the printer into shared workspaces, workshops, and offices.

With a 6.5-liter build volume, Photon P1 supports both large single-piece prints and efficient batch production, making it suitable for a wide range of professional applications.

A New Direction for Desktop Resin Printing

“Creators now expect desktop equipment that behaves like production machinery—predictable, material-ready, and consistent over time,” said James Ouyang, CTO of Anycubic. “Photon P1 was built to meet those expectations, bringing industrial-grade reliability into a desktop form factor.”

As resin printing continues to evolve, Photon P1 represents a shift toward systems that prioritize workflow efficiency and long-term reliability alongside resolution and detail.

The Photon P1 is currently available through a live Kickstarter campaign, with limited-time launch pricing still available.

How a Seasonal Purchase Becomes a Year-Round Engine for Imagination, Learning, and Family Connection

NEW YORK, Dec. 19, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — During this year’s Black Friday season, many families were introduced to GobiDex, a magnetic STEM playset designed to inspire hands-on creativity without screens. As Christmas approaches, those same families are discovering that GobiDex is not just a holiday novelty, but a system built for long-term engagement—one that continues to earn its place in everyday family life long after the decorations come down.

Children building their own imaginative worlds with GobiDex magnetic tiles during the holiday season—where focused play, creativity, and shared family moments naturally come together.
Children building their own imaginative worlds with GobiDex magnetic tiles during the holiday season—where focused play, creativity, and shared family moments naturally come together.

Black Friday is often about discovery—finding something new at the right moment. Christmas, however, is about intention: choosing gifts that reflect care, longevity, and shared experience. GobiDex was created for this exact transition, transforming a one-time purchase into a lasting creative habit.

Why More Families Are Choosing GobiDex for Christmas

1. Open-Ended Creation Instead of One-Time Builds

Unlike instruction-driven toys that are completed once and quickly abandoned, GobiDex has no fixed endpoint. Children return to the same magnetic tiles again and again, creating entirely new structures each time. A castle one day becomes a space station the next, then a bridge, a vehicle, or an imagined city.

This open-ended design encourages children not to follow steps, but to think, test, rebuild, and imagine—skills that continue developing as the child grows.

2. Learning That Emerges Naturally Through Play

With GobiDex, learning is not presented as a lesson. Instead, children intuitively explore:

  • Balance and stability
  • Geometry and symmetry
  • Spatial reasoning
  • Cause-and-effect relationships

These foundational STEM concepts emerge organically through hands-on experimentation, without screens, apps, or structured instruction. Parents frequently note that children begin asking “why” and “how” questions on their own—an early signal of problem-solving and analytical thinking.

3. A Gift That Brings Families Together

During the Christmas season, GobiDex often becomes more than a child’s toy—it becomes a shared activity. Parents kneel beside children to stabilize structures, siblings collaborate on designs, and grandparents join in without needing instructions or prior experience.

This low-barrier, multi-age engagement turns holiday downtime into meaningful family moments—something many parents value as much as the gift itself.

Designed for Deep Engagement, Not Short Attention Spans

At its core, GobiDex is built around one guiding belief: curiosity drives learning best when it is uninterrupted.

Many parents describe a familiar scene: a child walks past a GobiDex set, pauses—drawn in by the translucent colors and shapes—then quietly sits down to build, fully absorbed. This kind of self-directed focus is rare in modern toys and is one of the main reasons families continue using GobiDex well beyond the holidays.

Extending the Same Philosophy Beyond Magnetic Play

While magnetic building sets remain at the heart of the GobiDex brand, the same hands-on, screen-free philosophy also extends to other creative play experiences within the GobiDex family.

Through its sub-brand Tomons, GobiDex explores imaginative, role-based play—such as children’s washable makeup and beauty toy sets—designed to encourage self-expression, creativity, and confidence through safe, age-appropriate materials. These products focus less on construction and more on storytelling, pretend play, and personal expression, offering a different but complementary creative outlet for young children.

At the same time, Amosting, another brand under the GobiDex umbrella, develops a broader range of non-magnetic educational toys, including early-learning games, art and craft sets, and toddler-friendly play experiences. Amosting products are designed to support fine motor skills, sensory exploration, and independent play—especially for younger age groups just beginning their creative journey.

Together, these brands reflect a shared belief: children learn best when they are actively engaged, free to explore, and encouraged to create in their own way. Whether through building, imaginative role-play, or hands-on discovery, GobiDex and its related brands aim to support creativity across different stages of childhood.

What Families Experience Over Time

Across households, several themes consistently emerge after weeks and months of use:

  • Children play longer and with greater focus
  • Screen time naturally decreases during breaks and weekends
  • Builds become more complex as sets are combined
  • Storytelling and collaboration increase

Some families who first purchased a single set during Black Friday later expanded their collection before Christmas, noting that additional tiles unlocked entirely new levels of creativity and structural complexity.

From Black Friday Discovery to a Christmas Tradition

For many households, GobiDex begins as a Black Friday experiment—but becomes a Christmas tradition.

  1. Durable enough for year-round use
  2. Modular and expandable across multiple sets
  3. Engaging for a wide range of ages

This transition—from promotional purchase to everyday companion—is central to the GobiDex philosophy: toys should earn repeated use, not shelf space.
