In collaboration with Supermicro and Everpure, we are committed to empowering customers with a supported, integrated, and high-performance solution that accelerates their time-to-value for AI inferencing at the edge," said Kelly Switt, senior director, Intelligent Edge and Industrial Business Lead, Red Hat.

Portworx by Everpure provides the Kubernetes-native storage and data management layer for Supermicro's Edge AI Appliances. This enables enterprises to run AI inference, containers, and virtual machines at edge locations with the same enterprise-grade data services available in their core data centers. Unlike array-based storage solutions that require dedicated hardware at each site, Portworx offers software-defined, aggregated local storage on Supermicro's compact edge servers into a resilient, self-healing data platform that operates autonomously, even during network outages. The result is enterprise-grade high availability and data protection at every edge location, with consistent storage policies and a unified operational experience that extends seamlessly from edge to core to cloud.

"Enterprises deploying AI at the edge face a critical infrastructure gap, they need enterprise-grade storage and data protection, but they can't run traditional arrays in environments like retail stores or factory floors," said Greg Muscarella, general manager, Portworx by Everpure. "Together with Supermicro and Red Hat, we're delivering a validated, turnkey solution that combines Portworx services customers rely on like consistent management, built-in resilience, and the operational simplicity to scale to thousands of sites without the need for on-site IT expertise."

Supermicro Simplifies Edge AI Deployments with Validated Kubernetes Appliances with Red Hat and Everpure

IRVINE, Calif., July 9, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- For creators, makers, studios, and small businesses, color has remained one of the biggest barriers in digital fabrication. Multi-color FDM is limited in detail and often creates waste towers, while resin 3D printing delivers fine detail but requires manual painting for color. Full-color 3D printing has traditionally been expensive and out of reach, with UV printing and texture creation still locked in separate workflows.

The HeyGears G1X is designed to change that. As the world's first desktop full-color 3D & UV printer, G1X combines Full-Color 3D, 3D Texture, and 2D UV printing in one desktop-scale platform. From paint-free full-color models and tactile relief effects to high-resolution surface customization across hundreds of materials, G1X gives creators a faster, more flexible way to turn digital ideas into finished physical products.

One Machine. Three Worlds of Creation.

The HeyGears G1X combines Full-Color 3D, 3D Texture, and 2D UV printing in one desktop system.

3D Printing Mode (Prints Full-Color 3D Models & 2.9D Deep Relief)

In 3D Mode, the G1X builds three-dimensional models layer by layer using a dedicated ink set: CMYK + Double White + Water-Soluble Support + Transparent (CMYKST+W*2). This mode produces:

• Full-Color 3D Models: Seamless, paint-free models with interior and exterior color.
• Deep Relief (2.9D): A specialized application of full-color 3D printing for deep three-dimensional relief, extending your prints up to 150 mm for enhanced expression.

UV Printing Mode (2D Printing & 3D Texture Printing)

In UV mode, the G1X 8-channel ink system and up to 1440 × 2400 DPI resolution support vivid color, fine detail, raised textures, and surface customization across 400+ compatible materials. It functions as a high-speed flatbed printer capable of producing two types of creations:

• 2D Printing: Direct high-resolution printing on 400+ compatible materials (metal, acrylic, wood, leather, ceramics).
• 3D Textures: Supports up to 10 mm of 3D texture height, though a maximum of 5 mm is recommended for superior print quality and stability, allowing you to reproduce realistic surfaces like leather, wood carving, brushstrokes, and braille.

Lower Running Costs, Built for Long-Term Use

The G1X is designed to keep everyday production more cost-efficient, not just more capable. Its affordable ink system helps reduce consumable costs for frequent printing, while the Epson I3200-U1HD  (used in G1X) industrial-grade printhead delivers stable performance with reduced clogging risk and a longer service life. With fewer interruptions, lower maintenance needs, and less frequent printhead replacements, the G1X helps creators, studios, and small businesses achieve reliable output while keeping long-term operating costs under control.

Industrial-Grade Print Quality, Speed, and Color Fidelity

G1X is designed to bring industrial-grade print performance into a desktop-scale system, combining faster UV printing, precise color reproduction, and stable long-term output.

• Epson I3200 industrial-grade printhead: Supports ultra-high-frequency jetting for faster printing, stable ink ejection, and reduced clogging risk.
• Up to 3X faster UV printing: Helps creators, studios, and small businesses improve productivity for custom projects and small-batch production.
• Advanced Raster Image Processor (RIP) algorithms: Enable 10M+ colors, smoother gradients, and more accurate visual output across different printing modes.

Note: The 3X UV printing speed boost is based on internal testing compared with desktop UV printers equipped with a single F1080 (XP600) printhead.

From Idea to Print with AI and Auto Calibration

G1X combines AI-powered creation tools with intelligent hardware alignment, making the workflow from idea to final print faster and easier.

• AI-powered modeling: With HeyVerse AI and Blueprint Studio, users can generate high-fidelity models from text or images, or convert 2D visuals into 3D Texture outputs through a simplified workflow.
• Auto calibration in seconds: Line-scan imaging identifies an object's position, shape, and edges, enabling accurate design alignment and smart layout in Blueprint Studio for more efficient, consistent batch production.
• Full-stack creation workflow: With HeyVerse, Blueprint Studio, 500+ curated assets, and text/image-to-3D generation, users can turn ideas into printable models in minutes—even without 3D modeling experience.
