HeyGears Reflex 2 Production Resin Printing, Calibrated to the Pixel
161-zone OptiZone light engine, a 10.7″ 6K Amber Screen Pro, and a C5-grade ±2µm Z-axis — a desktop-footprint MSLA printer engineered for repeatable, end-use parts.
The Reflex 2 brings HeyGears’ production-line optics and motion control to a machine that fits on a bench. A 161-zone mini-LED engine is calibrated across 86,000+ zones for ≥94% light uniformity, so accuracy holds edge-to-edge across the full build area instead of fading at the corners.

Factory-Built Precision. US-Supported by Rev1.
Every Reflex 2 ships from a US-stocked authorized channel and is backed by Rev1’s application engineers — resin selection, print profiles, and operator training before the machine ever runs a production job.
Production-line engineering in a benchtop resin printer
Most desktop MSLA printers are built to make a good first print. The Reflex 2 is built to make the ten-thousandth print look like the first — the same optics, motion control, and thermal management HeyGears runs on its production lines, packaged for a shop floor or an engineering office. Here is what sets it apart.
161 OptiZone light zones, pioneered by HeyGears
Conventional LCD printers light the whole screen with one flat backlight, so brightness falls off toward the edges and cure depth drifts across the plate. The Reflex 2 splits its light source into 161 independently driven mini-LED zones. Each zone’s activation and brightness is controlled over PWM, so the engine shapes the exposure to match the screen — delivering even energy from the first pixel to the last.
86,000+ zone light calibration
A MASK calibration algorithm measures and corrects light output across 86,020 zones of the build screen. The result is ≥94% uniformity and ≤0.05 mm accuracy held across the entire 230×144 mm plate — so a part nested in the corner is dimensionally the same as one in the center, and full-plate nesting doesn’t cost you tolerance.
A 6K amber screen that runs cool and swaps in minutes
Field-replaceable screen, zero-downtime maintenance
The 10.7-inch 6K Amber Screen Pro is a consumable on every LCD printer — the difference is how long it lasts and how fast you can replace it. Rated for 6,000+ hours of stable printing, the Reflex 2 screen lifts out as a serviceable module, so a swap is a few-minute job at the bench instead of a return-to-depot event. Keep a spare on the shelf and a screen change never stops a production schedule.
Heat is what kills LCD screens. The Reflex 2’s thermal design holds the screen at roughly 31–35°C during printing, where many resin printers let the panel climb past 50°C. Running cooler is the single biggest reason the amber screen reaches its rated life — and it keeps exposure stable from the first layer of a long job to the last.
C5-grade Z-axis on a die-cast unibody base
Zero-tolerance Z-axis, ±2µm repeat positioning
Layer accuracy is only as good as the axis that sets it. The Reflex 2 uses a C5-grade precision lead-screw module that holds layer positioning error to ≤2µm, mounted to a die-cast unibody base that resists the flex and vibration that blur fine features. Tight, repeatable Z motion is what lets the machine reproduce the same part to spec across an entire production run.
Engineered like equipment, not like a gadget
The unibody base, serviceable screen, and modular interfaces mean the Reflex 2 is meant to stay on a bench and earn its keep — scale from one machine to a small farm without changing your workflow, your slicer, or your resin.
Intelligent resin heating for high-performance materials
Engineering resins want to be warm and consistent — cold or unevenly heated resin shifts viscosity and cure, and that shows up as failed or out-of-spec parts. The Reflex 2’s optional heating scraper builds the heater and temperature sensor into the scraper itself, warming the resin as it sweeps and holding it at the target temperature throughout the print. It takes the vat from 10°C to 22°C in about six minutes and keeps it there, opening the door to a wider range of high-performance formulations.
Faster, more uniform resin heating
Compared with the previous Reflex generation, the Reflex 2 reaches and holds working resin temperature faster and more evenly. Consistent vat temperature means consistent viscosity, consistent exposure, and consistent parts — especially with tougher engineering resins that are sensitive to how warm the material is when it cures.
Cleaner drainage, less wasted resin
Warm resin drains faster off the build platform and parts at the end of a job. With the heating system holding the vat warmer, drainage waiting time drops by more than 24% on large cross-section parts — less resin clinging to the plate, less waste between jobs, and a faster turn to the next build.
Set it, leave it — automation built for unattended runs
Auto-leveling isn’t a convenience feature — it’s what makes the machine repeatable in anyone’s hands. The floating platform finds the screen and sets the zero automatically every job, so the first layer adheres the same way whether it’s your most experienced operator or someone’s first week. Combined with residue detection and auto-refill, the Reflex 2 is designed to start a print and walk away.
An open platform for the full Reflex Series resin library
The Reflex 2 runs HeyGears’ UltraPrint and Reflex Series resins across engineering, casting, and dental applications — on an open material platform, so you’re choosing the resin for the part, not working around a closed cartridge. Rev1 helps you qualify the right formulation and print profile before you buy.
From dental models to functional end-use parts
With even light, tight Z control, and managed resin temperature, the Reflex 2 prints what production work actually demands — functional housings, jigs and fixtures, castable patterns, dental and audiology parts, and detailed concept models. The same machine that resolves a smooth miniature surface also holds tolerance on a functional impeller or connector.
GreenPrint — one-click slicing and fleet queueing
GreenPrint is HeyGears’ native slicing and print-management software for the Reflex Series. Validated resin profiles take the guesswork out of exposure settings — load a model, pick the resin, and one-click slicing handles supports and parameters. Over WiFi or LAN you can queue and monitor jobs across multiple Reflex 2 machines from one place, so scaling from a single printer to a small farm doesn’t change how you work. The GreenPrint Purification Module interface extends the same ecosystem to post-processing.
Choose your Reflex 2 package
Order the printer on its own, or add HeyGears wash & cure to complete the resin workflow in one purchase. Use the configurator at the top of the page for live pricing, or ask Rev1 to tailor a bundle with the resin and add-on modules your application needs.
