Hardware for Professionals

500ºC Nozzles

500ºC Nozzles

Independent Dual-Extruder Hotends

Maximum temperatures give you the ability to print any Performance Thermoplastic on the market, from PLA to PEEK, PEKK, ULTEM™ , PPSU, and more. 

Unlike other machines, BOTH hotends reach the full 500ºC, enabling multi-material, duplication mode, mirror mode, and full use of supports - soluble and otherwise.

200ºC Build Plate

200ºC Build Plate

True Self-Leveling Build Platform

Never manually level your bed again. Triple Z-Axis motors enable true self-leveling of the build platform, combined with 128-point+ mesh leveling (technically unlimited points), so the hotends will compensate for any variation in the build surface. On top of that (literally), the QUAD-motor XY gantry squares itself -- your parts will maintain accuracy over time, without having to constantly recalibrate. 

100ºC+ Chamber

100ºC+ Chamber

Actively Heated Chamber

Performance thermoplastics are next to impossible without a heated build environment - the 22 IDEX heats up to 100ºC+, enabling functional high-temp materials with solid mechanical properties. Dual chamber thermistors monitor the temperature, with auxiliary convection fans ensuring an evenly-heated build volume. 

5" Touchscreen Display

5" Touchscreen Display

5" Touchscreen Interface

The new 5" touchscreen provides a clearer, more intuitive control experience, making setup, calibration, and print management faster and easier. Operators can adjust settings, review progress, and initiate common tasks directly at the machine without navigating through external software.

AMERICAN SERVICE & SUPPORT

We’re here to help, and we mean that. Your success with this machine matters to us, because we use the same equipment in our own shop every day.

Our team is cross-trained on everything we build and sell, so the person who picks up the phone is usually someone who can walk you through a solution right away. And when something does require deeper expertise, you’ll be connected directly with one of our additive technicians—not a call center or a scripted support line.

You’ll always talk to a real person who understands the industry and has hands-on experience solving real-world problems. Most questions can be answered quickly through our documentation and video tutorials, but when you need us, we’re available by phone, email, or video to get you back into production as fast as possible.

We won’t overwhelm you with basics, and we won’t disappear when you need help. Just knowledgeable people who care about the work and are here to support you.

Our documentation and video tutorials cover most questions, making it easy to troubleshoot or learn at your own pace.

BUILT FROM STEEL

MADE USING TOP-OF-THE-LINE COMPONENTS

LINEAR RAILS

LINEAR RAILS

Linear-Rail Motion System

The 22 IDEX is built with industrial-grade components to deliver precision, reliability, and long-term stability. High-temperature stepper motors, hardened linear rails, German wiring, and industry-leading electronics provide consistent accuracy while reducing system maintenance. Using high-temperature linear rails and extra-wide Kevlar® reinforced belts, the 22 IDEX maintains dimensional stability and stays in-spec even during demanding, high-heat operation.

TRIPLE MOTOR Z-AXIS

TRIPLE MOTOR Z-AXIS

True Self-Leveling Build Platform

Most printers require manual leveling, in addition to planar-offset or mesh-leveling.Not so, with the 22 IDEX - we've integrated three Z-Axis motors to physically level the build platform before each print, combined with a customizable mesh leveling process to eliminate all guesswork. This means that your prints will start at the perfect height, every single time. It's a game-changer for the user experience.

NON-PLANAR READY

NON-PLANAR READY

6 Independent Axis and 5 Degrees of Freedom

The self-leveling bed and auto-squaring XY gantry not only makes great prints, but enables non-planar printing to an entirely new level of multi-axis 3D Printing.All 6 axis are independent, giving you a full 5 degrees of freedom, meaning your machine is already prepared for the next generation of non-planar printing and slicing software, once it becomes available.

XY TOOLHEAD - AUTO ALIGNMENT

XY TOOLHEAD - AUTO ALIGNMENT

Automation = Time Saved

Our automated XY toolhead alignment eliminates the older style of having to do multiple alignment prints. Pulling from proven, precision practices of the CNC Industry, our Auto Alignment probe takes the guesswork out of the picture with one easy, automated process.

AUTO SHUTDOWN AND SAFETY SYSTEMS

AUTO SHUTDOWN AND SAFETY SYSTEMS

Automated Safeties

Safety is paramount, in the workplace and workshop - the printer will automatically shut down if it senses overheating, thermal runaways, or electrical errors. Solid State Relays and quality wires are just a fraction of the safety features designed into the machine, from the ground up.

INDUSTRY-PROVEN TECH

MADE USING CUTTING-EDGE PARTS

  • SLICE ENGINEERING COPPERHEAD HOTEND

    Thermally Consistent Heat Blocks and Bimetallic Heat Breaks

    Crank out more parts in less time, with one of the most consistently-flowing hotend designs available. With proven technology, repeatable results and the option to fine tune your print result with optional 0.2mm, 0.4mm, 0.6mm, & 0.8mm nozzles in various nozzles materials -- brass, stainless steel, & hardened steel.

    We absolutely love the quality -- incredible fine, beautiful CNC finish, and made right here in the USA. 

  • BONDTECH LGX PRO DUAL-GEARED EXTRUDER

    Industry proven, tested, and loved Bondtech is at the top for a reason

    Dual drive technology provides consistent results with 30mm stepper motor, large drive wheels with more grip contact on the filament and easy viewing windows for maintenence.

    Fast & easy filament changes with the filament pre-tension lever for fine tuning the extruder to filament interface. Nothing proprietary, only proven & readily availabe components are used on the 22IDEX.

  • PRE-CONFIGURED SLICER, OR USE YOUR OWN

    PrusaSlicer, along with the Duet 3 web interface means: your computer will work, as-is.

    The Integrated Ethernet, and modular wifi (included) web interface and standard RepRap firmware makes the machine easy to control, from anywhere in the shop. Use your workstation, laptop, tablet or phone to control the printer -- using macros, or custom configurations you develop for your own needs. Plus, we offer pre-configured profiles for PrusaSlicer, including materials like PEEK, CF-Nylon, PCTG, etc, and you're always able to use whichever slicer you prefer.
