BIQU AJAX TD1S

The BIQU AJAX TD1S is an innovative tool designed to accurately measure the transmission distance (TD) of filaments and capture the real color in hexadecimal format, offering users absolute control over the quality of their 3D prints. This device not only ensures precise measurement but also facilitates the integration of this data into advanced workflows, such as HueForge.

Jointly developed by two giants in 3D printing technology, BIQU and AJAX, the TD1S is the result of a strategic collaboration that combines the expertise and knowledge of both companies in innovation and precision. Together, they have created a solution capable of meeting the most demanding needs of creators, designers, and engineers, ensuring unprecedented print quality.

The transmission distance, measured to the millimeter

Thanks to its advanced optical technology, the BIQU AJAX TD1S calculates the exact distance that light must travel through the filament to reach the desired opacity level. With a precision of ±7.5%, this device becomes the ultimate ally for those seeking total control in multicolor prints, translucent effects, and photorealistic finishes.

Exact color, no guesswork

The detection system of the BIQU AJAX TD1S captures the real hexadecimal code of the filament, creating an accurate digital record. This information makes it possible to reproduce colors without deviations between different material batches, ensuring uniformity and consistent quality in every project.

Direct integration with HueForge and future expansions

Its direct connection with HueForge software automatically incorporates TD and color data into the workflow, eliminating variations and manual errors. The result: models printed with the intensity, depth, and fidelity conceived in the design. In addition, future compatibility is being developed with Orca Slicer and Mainsail, allowing transmission distance and color data to be integrated in real time within the slicing software and printer interface, without the need for intermediate processes.

Portable power and modern connectivity

The BIQU AJAX TD1S is equipped with a high-resolution OLED screen that displays all data in real time, without the need for a computer or Internet connection. Its USB-C power supply ensures compatibility with the latest setups and facilitates its use both in print workshops and on production lines.

Two modes for two working styles

In Quick Capture Mode, transmission distance and color measurement are performed in seconds, ideal for quickly characterizing a new filament. In Continuous Capture Mode, monitoring is constant, allowing material supervision throughout the entire printing process or while spooling for storage.

Even without multimaterial devices, the use of "swap by layer," which consists of replacing the filament at certain layers to achieve a multicolor result by combining the use of different filaments with the different transmission distances of each material, makes it possible to obtain images with a high degree of nuance. You can try the HueForge software features and make the most of your BIQU AJAX TD1S with this link.

Accuracy that transforms 3D printing

With the BIQU AJAX TD1S, controlling transmission distance and color ceases to be a challenge and becomes a competitive advantage. This tool offers precise data, consistency, and the freedom to explore complex designs with full confidence in the final result. When combined with tools such as HueForge the results are spectacular.
