LightMake Unveils L4: A Linear Motor-Powered, Independent Four-Head Desktop 3D Printer

Published

3 weeks ago

on

SHENZHEN, China, Aug. 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — LightMake today has launched L4, a professional desktop 3D printer with four independent print heads powered by linear motors. It prints up to four models at once, blends four materials in a single print, and reaches travel speeds of 1,000 mm/s with a maximum print speed of 500 mm/s. The L4’s optimized toolhead movements under vibration-damping mechanism also provide stability, resulting in a lower failure rate.

By replacing traditional belts with a vibration-damping linear motor system, the L4 delivers highly stable, low-failure printing.

Key Features

4 Independent Print Heads System
The L4’s four print heads operate independently, allowing four copies of a model to be produced in the time a single-head printer takes to produce one. For multi-material work, the heads can combine up to four filaments in a single print.

Because each head carries its own material, the L4 provides zero filament waste during color changes, unlike a single-nozzle printer that must extrude materials to clear the previous color, reducing filament waste by over 79%. Toolhead changes take just one second, saving valuable time in the studios, as the latest market solutions need at least five seconds.

Industry-first Adoption of Linear Motors
In most 3D printers, stepper motors and rubber belts move the print head. The L4 uses electromagnetic force to drive each head directly along a track.

This allows the L4 to operate significantly faster at a travel speed of up to 1000mm/s, with a maximum print speed of 500mm/s.

The linear motors also deliver ±1μm motion precision to largely eliminate unwanted ghosting and ringing. With a stable 50,000-hours printing service life, it is also far more durable than traditional desktop printers.

Extra-Large Build Volume
With a 354 × 370 × 386 mm build chamber for single-colour jobs and 354 × 350 × 386 mm for full-colour output, the L4 is engineered for scale. To maximize throughput, users can also print four models in parallel, with each part measuring up to 177 × 195 × 386 mm.

Stability & Vibration-Damping
The L4’s Vibration Cancellation Algorithm counteracts the forces generated at high speed by coordinating toolhead movement across the X and Y axes so that opposing motions cancel one another, thereby improving stability and print smoothness.

An integrated die-cast frame ensures high-speed precision, while four toolheads independently lift 5 mm to improve first-layer levelling success and reduces the risk of a failed print.

AI-Driven Smart Control
For print farm users, Smart Cluster Management and Smart AutoQueue tools can dispatch jobs to up to 1,000 machines, automatically allocating printers to meet a given deadline.

L4’s integration with OpenClaw enables creators to build a one-person studio through WhatsApp. Users can manage print jobs across an entire print farm and fully leverage AI capabilities.

Pricing and Availability
Pre-orders for LightMake L4 are now available immediately on Kickstarter, starting at $1,299 for super early-bird discount. L1 is available at $1,099. Initial shipment date is expected to be in Q4 2026. Back the project during the early-bird stage and save up to $1,100 versus MSRP: claim your spot now while early pricing lasts, plus save on shipping in the first 48 hours of the launch.

Late-breaking HRX data advance Field Medical’s “instantaneous ablation” workflow and expand the clinical evidence for high-voltage focal PFA with the FieldForce™ PFA System

ATLANTA and CARLSBAD, Calif., Sept. 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Field Medical, Inc., advancing high-voltage focal pulsed field ablation (PFA) for complex arrhythmias, today announced publication of 12-month results from the first-in-human Field PULSE trial in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology. The findings were presented simultaneously as a Late-Breaking Clinical Trial at HRX Live 2026.

Field Medical developed the FieldForce™ PFA System around a high-voltage focal PFA architecture designed first for the ventricle, where depth, stability and control are among the most difficult challenges in ablation. Field PULSE extends that work into the atrium and evaluates a subsecond point-by-point workflow Field Medical terms “instantaneous ablation.” In this study, the approach was associated with procedural efficiency, durable pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) and flexibility beyond the pulmonary veins, without the need for prolonged catheter stability.

Key Findings:

Procedural efficiency with subsecond focal PFA: 13-minute median elapsed PVI ablation time, with a fastest time of 7.7 minutesDurable PVI with the optimized waveform: 94.2% per-vein durability reflecting progressive improvement with waveform evolutionFlexible focal ablation: 49% of patients received non-PV ablation for additional atrial targetsNo primary safety events were observed80% freedom from atrial arrhythmias at 12 months with the optimized waveform

“Field PULSE demonstrates the feasibility of truly instantaneous focal PFA,” said Vivek Reddy, M.D., co-principal investigator, lead author and electrophysiologist at Mount Sinai Health System. “Delivering the full application in less than 200 milliseconds reduces the need for prolonged catheter stability while preserving the flexibility of point-by-point ablation. The procedural efficiency, safety and pulmonary vein durability observed with the optimized waveform support continued clinical development of this approach.”

The publication builds on Field Medical’s peer-reviewed clinical work in ventricular tachycardia. Six-month outcomes from the company’s first-in-human VCAS trial were published in Circulation in 2025. Field PULSE now adds first-in-human, peer-reviewed atrial data evaluating the same high-voltage focal PFA architecture through a distinct focal workflow in a different cardiac substrate.

“We designed FieldForce to solve some of the hardest problems in focal cardiac ablation, beginning in the ventricle,” said Mark A. Turco, M.D., president and chief executive officer of Field Medical. “Field PULSE demonstrates that the same high-voltage focal PFA architecture can support an ‘instantaneous ablation’ workflow in the atrium. This growing body of evidence reinforces the range of the platform: depth and focal control in the ventricle, speed and precision in the atrium, and the versatility to address very different cardiac substrates through a familiar point-by-point approach. These results add important clinical evidence as we continue to advance our differentiated PFA platform.”

The study, “High-Voltage Focal PFA Catheter for ‘Instant’ Point-By-Point Ablation: The First-In-Human FIELD-PULSE Trial to Treat AF,” was published online in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology concurrent with the HRX presentation. DOI: 10.1016/j.jacep.2026.09.001.

About Field Medical®, Inc.
Field Medical is a clinical-stage medical technology company committed to advancing pulsed field ablation (PFA) solutions for complex cardiac arrhythmias. The company was founded by Steven Mickelsen, M.D., CTO, a pioneer and global thought leader in PFA whose work has helped shape the evolution of the field. The FieldForce PFA System integrates a focal catheter design with proprietary FieldBending™ energy designed to safely deliver efficient, precise ablation with the goal of improving outcomes in ventricular and atrial arrhythmia treatment. In 2024, Field Medical earned Breakthrough Device Designation and gained entry into the FDA TAP Pilot Program for its ventricular tachycardia indication. In October 2025, the VCAS trial was published in Circulation.
