The Sonic MEGA by Phrozen is an industrial-grade mono-LCD 3D printer that boasts a long-life monochrome LCD screen with ultra-high 8K definition, which makes it a professional machine that creates remarkably detailed models. Besides, it offers the largest printing area in the category for makers and product designers that are really passionate about bringing their most insane ideas to life. With the Sonic MEGA, you can now print big and have both size and quality in one print.
The MEGA 8K comes with a pre-calibrated build plate, dual linear rail and ball screw design, full metal exterior, and multi-fan cooling system to release excess heat from the device. This high-precision device is designed to be used in a variety of professional and industrial applications. Check out the following art models to assess the quality of 3D printing the device is capable of.

The Phrozen resin profile database includes ready-made profiles for 20+ different resins, including ABS-like Resin, TR250 High Temp Resin, Nylon-Green Tough Resin and a variety of Castable Resins.
Due to the built-in Phrozen Pump & Fill Automated Resin Feeder, the Mega 8K V2 ensures your resin vat is always properly filled, eliminating manual refills and resin shortage halfway through a large print job.
The Sonic MEGA 8K offers a spacious printing volume of 330 x 185 x 400 mm (12.9 x 7.3 x 15.7 in). With a 40 cm tall yet ultra-stable Z-axis, you can reliably print significantly larger models in one sitting. In addition, the model can comfortably fit multiple smaller parts in one batch, which will be especially great for mass production.

The Sonic MEGA 8K is available in black with dark-yellow transparent areas in the doors providing easy access to prints. Its stylish design makes it ideal for a number of professional and personal applications. The printer size is 40 х 47 х 68 сm (15.7 x 18.5 x 26.7 inches) and it weighs 35 kg (77 lbs). With the exterior completely made out of metal, the Sonic Mega 8K is a strong, heavy-duty device, its structure ensures sustainable operation over the long-term.
The dual linear rail ball screw design is used to minimize wobbling. As the 40cm tall Z-axis remains ultra-stable, the quality and precision of large prints is significantly improved.
The new 15" mono LCD screen guarantees long term usage and lasts twice as long as the RGB market alternatives (usually 2,000+ hours).
- Phrozen Ultrasonic Cleaner 30L
The Phrozen Ultrasonic Cleaner is a post-processing machine designed to give your 3D prints a more refined and smooth outlook simply and automatically. Not only this, but it can also help you greatly increase the durability of your prints and prevent them from cracking when used in a complete post-processing cycle. The device removes all the unnecessary and residual materials and supports from your print by using ultrasonic waves that generate cavitation bubbles that, in their turn, collapse according to the frequency of the ultrasonic waves, achieving splendid cleaning of all the excess material. When a 3D print is completely submerged in a cleaning liquid, the machine reaches and cleans all the hard-to-reach places with ease, removing only the excess material and leaving your print unscathed. Compared with manual cleaning procedures, this automated post-processing tool makes the cleaning a whole lot faster and more consistent.
- Phrozen Cure Mega: Post Curing UV Lamp
The Phrozen Cure Mega is an ultra-large-volume UV curing station designed to post-process objects made of photopolymer resins. With its huge inner capacity of 400 x 400 x 450 mm, the device can easily accommodate several objects or cure extremely sizeable prints. The 360-degree auto rotatable platform makes for uniform processing of every part, eliminating the possibility of any blind spots.
With a UV wavelength of 405 nm, the device draws current from standard power grids of 100–240V and 50/60Hz, with no additional transformers required. The station is quite easy to use — just place your prints in the unit, set up the time, and tap the start button. The models will be ready in less than an hour, so you don’t have to wait for them to cure with natural sunlight, which saves plenty of time.
The Sonic MEGA 8K goes for $3,199.99, which is reasonable considering this product’s resolution, build area (one of the largest), and overall capabilities especially taking into account that no alternative is currently available on the market for this new device. By showcasing striking details at 43µm, the Sonic MEGA produces 3D models that are almost twice as detailed as other large-scale 3D printers.
