Flashforge is known for its desktop 3D printers, and offers a variety of printers that are suitable for different applications. Aside from the Hunter DLP, it offers on the professional side the Guider 3 series and Creator 3 and 4 series.
The Hunter is particularly aimed at the jewelry and dental sector. It can be used to print dental models of the required size, making the digitized workflow more economical and more convenient. For jewelry, the Hunter can be used for making proofs, meeting precision and resolution requirements and offering customizable options according to the need.
