Industrial IDEX 3D Printer for Advanced Polymer Manufacturing

The Vision Miner 22 IDEX v4 is a high-temperature industrial independent dual extrusion (IDEX) FDM/FFF 3D printing system for advanced polymer manufacturing, functional prototyping, and production-grade additive workflows. The platform is engineered for demanding environments that require precision, repeatability, thermal stability, and support for engineering-grade to ultra-performance thermoplastics.

This 3D printer is built for organisations producing functional parts with materials that depend on controlled thermal environments, high nozzle temperatures, and dual-material capability. The result is a manufacturing platform suited to advanced prototyping, tooling, and low-volume production workflows.

IDEX Architecture for Dual-Material and Higher-Throughput Printing

Independent dual extrusion is a core feature of the Vision Miner 22 IDEX v4. True IDEX functionality enables dual-material printing, soluble support structures, duplication mode, and mirror mode within a single build system.

These capabilities support more efficient throughput, improved handling of complex geometries, and multi-material part consolidation for engineering applications where support strategy and repeat production matter.

High-Temperature Printing for Engineering and Ultra-Performance Polymers

The Vision Miner 22 IDEX v4 is designed for high-temperature polymer processing. Dual high-temperature extrusion capability combined with a heated build environment makes the system suitable for advanced thermoplastics used in aerospace, automotive, industrial tooling, and research settings.

An actively heated chamber, high-temperature nozzle capability, and controlled airflow management help maintain the thermal conditions needed for dimensional stability and strong layer adhesion when printing advanced materials.

Engineering Focus Areas

• Functional prototyping and engineering validation
• High-performance polymer processing
• Tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing aids
• Low-volume production workflows
• Multi-material and soluble support manufacturing

Open Material Workflow for Standard to Ultra-Performance Thermoplastics

The open material system supports a wide range of polymers including PLA, PETG, ABS, ASA, nylon, carbon-fibre reinforced polymers, PEKK, PEEK, PEI (Ultem), PPSU, and similar high-temperature materials. Material success depends on configuration and process control, especially when processing ultra-performance polymers.

This flexibility makes the printer suitable for teams that need to evaluate materials, optimise print processes, or standardise production around specific engineering plastics.
