The launch brings the G1 and its advanced sibling, the G1X, to backers for the first time. Billed as the first desktop system to combine full-color 3D printing, 3D-texture printing, and 2D UV printing in one machine, the platform aims to fold a fragmented workflow into a single unit priced under $5,000.

It prints across more than 400 substrates, including plastic, metal, wood, glass, ceramic, leather, and acrylic, and supports optical effects such as holographic finishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_71378\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71378\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71378\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/University-of-New-South-Wales-Sydney-3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/University-of-New-South-Wales-Sydney-3.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/University-of-New-South-Wales-Sydney-3-600x343.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/University-of-New-South-Wales-Sydney-3-160x91.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-71378\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">A full-color print sample from the G1X.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>What the G1X Can Produce<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The G1X is aimed at small businesses and creatives who need efficiency. Full-color 3D printed figurines and collectibles come off the plate with colorful surface details and can include transparent material when where needed, with no painting steps or extra assembly required. Product designers can move from a prototype base to branded, textured, and surface-decorated parts without switching machines. On flat stock, the same unit handles creative signage, customized sellable designs, and direct-to-substrate accurate color UV printing across those 400-plus base materials.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Pricing and Bundles<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The following bundles are planned for the launch.<\/span><\/p>\n<table>\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td><b>Reward<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>Super Early Bird<\/b><\/td>\n<td><b>MSRP<\/b><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G1 Starter Pack<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$1,999<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$2,699<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G1X Starter Pack<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3,299<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$4,999<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G1X Full-3D Pack<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$3,599<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$5,499<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G1X Deluxe Bundle<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$4,999<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$7,999<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">G1X Full-3D Twin Pack<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$6,798<\/span><\/td>\n<td><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">$10,998<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div id=\"attachment_71374\" style=\"width: 710px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-71374\" class=\"size-full wp-image-71374\" src=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/2-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"700\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/2-1.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/2-1-600x343.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.3dnatives.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2026\/07\/2-1-160x91.jpg 160w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-71374\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The G1X can create 3D textures on 400+ base materials.<\/p><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><b>Launch Date and Backer Rewards<\/b><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The campaign opens on <\/span><b>July 23<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> at:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul style=\"text-align: justify;\">\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">12:00 PM EDT (New York)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9:00 AM PDT (Los Angeles)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4:00 PM GMT (London)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6:00 PM CEST (Central Europe)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HeyGears is planning two launch-window incentives, both applying to orders placed in the first 48 hours: <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1.
