MDX-40a Milling Machine

View Brochure

Subtractive Rapid Prototyping (SRP) has several advantages over traditional additive rapid prototyping. SRP devices cost significantly less while producing prototypes out of a wider variety of non-proprietary materials with greater precision and better surface finish.

Functional Prototypes

Like all Roland SRP devices, the MDX-40A can mill a wide range of low cost, non-proprietary materials including ABS, delrin, nylon, and tooling board. This lets engineers create functional prototypes to test how well products will actually work. Handled by market focus groups, these prototypes must perform like the final manufactured product and survive a barrage of physical tests, including thermal and structural trials. For example, toothbrush prototypes undergo in-vivo testing for hand fit, brush reach and handle deflection.

4th Rotary Axis

With its 4th rotary axis, the MDX-40A performs both unattended two- and four-sided milling. When one side is completed, the part is automatically rotated until all four sides have been milled. This saves engineers the time and reduces errors associated with rotating objects by hand.

High Precision

The MDX-40A’s hi-precision spindle decreases vibration within the unit and produces extremely accurate models. It achieves resolutions up to 0.01 mm/step (0.00039 in./step) per step and creates the most accurate prototypes for complex snap-fits. With ISO15448 standard collets, the MDX-40A also generates a smooth surface finish that requires little to no post finishing work.

Speedy Production

Roland SRP devices typically create parts faster than a 3D printer. According to Todd Grimm’s independent study of RP systems, the SRP process saves time by producing parts that are smooth and precise right off the machine. Additive systems, on the other hand, typically require time-consuming post finishing processes.

G-Code Support

Support for G-Code programming gives the MDX-40A compatibility with popular software programs including Mastercam, EdgeCAM, SurfCAM, GibbsCAM, Vectrix, ProfileLAB, EngraveLAB and more.
