Shenzhen primarily based large-scale, industrial 3D printer producer Mingda has launched their new MD-400D high-temperature IDEX FDM 3D printer. A versatile, excessive efficiency, industrial 3D printer, the MD-400D provides to Mingda’s rising skilled additive manufacturing portfolio.

The MD-400D provides a considerable construct quantity, impartial double extruder (IDEX) know-how, and excessive temperature scorching ends appropriate with a variety of engineering grade supplies. Extra options, reminiscent of computerized mattress leveling and an air filtration system, are additionally included. 

The MD-400D’s wide selection of options makes it well-suited to quite a few purposes, together with: advanced prototyping and design, jigs and fixtures, medical components, aerospace elements, analysis and schooling, and car manufacturing. 

Key options of the Mingda MD-400D

The MD-400D’s IDEX construction allows 4 separate 3D printing modes. While most standard filament primarily based 3D printers make the most of a single extruder, this dual-extruder setup provides elevated versatility and improved productiveness. The twin extruders work independently, for versatile and exact management.

Duplicate Mode sees the extruders 3D print two an identical components concurrently, doubling productiveness. Mirror Mode permits customers to 3D print symmetrical fashions, halving manufacturing time when in comparison with single extrusion know-how. Twin-Colour Mode permits totally different components of a mannequin to be 3D printed in two totally different colours, including a better degree of inventive freedom to the 3D printing course of.

Lastly, Help Mode can 3D print advanced structural fashions easily and with excessive precision. This function permits each the high-performance and breakaway help supplies to be extruded individually. This makes the help elimination course of extremely simple, making certain a clear and easy end for even probably the most advanced constructions. Numerous water-soluble help filaments are additionally supported, optimizing the manufacturing of advanced fashions with inner geometries and hole constructions.

The MD-400D’s dual-gear direct extruder offers sturdy pushing drive for secure and correct 3D printing, decreasing the danger of below extrusion. This additionally permits the MD-400D to 3D print with versatile filaments.   

Moreover, the extruders incorporate excessive temperature scorching ends, able to heating as much as 350℃. This helps a spread of engineering-grade supplies, together with PET-carbon fiber, PET-glass fiber, Nylon carbon fiber, Nylon glass fiber, ABS carbon fiber, ABS glass fiber. 

Widespread scorching ends, which might attain as much as 250℃, are additionally accommodated. These help standard supplies like PLA, ABS, PETG, and TPU. These scorching ends will also be simply swapped, permitting customers to shortly and simply meet altering materials necessities.

One of many bigger IDEX 3D printers available on the market, the MD-400D provides a considerable free mode construct quantity of 400x400x400mm. That is preferrred for the manufacturing of large-scale industrial components and prototypes. Duplicate Mode and Mirror Mode additionally provide giant construct volumes of 200x400x400mm and 175x400x400mm respectively.

Automated leveling capabilities are additionally provided by the MD-400D, vastly enhancing 3D printing effectivity and high quality stability, and limiting the variety of failed 3D prints. What’s extra, the exact calibration of nozzle distance permits customers to 3D print components with extremely high quality layer resolutions.  

Furthermore, the 3D printer features a versatile PEI platform. This platform provides a great degree of viscosity, which means components aren’t simply warped throughout 3D printing and will be simply eliminated as soon as completed.

The MD-400D additionally incorporates a completely enclosed metallic chamber. This helps to take care of a secure temperature when 3D printing with ABS and different superior supplies, decreasing points like mannequin shrinkage, warping at corners, and damaged filaments. Finally, this ensures good print high quality, precision, and a excessive 3D print success fee.         

An air filtration system can also be included, which might filter particles (together with nanoparticles) within the air. Working silently, this technique ensures a quiet working surroundings.  

Lastly, a 5-inch contact display screen is fitted onto the entrance of the MD-400D. Clear and straightforward to make use of, this consumer interface (UI) helps to optimize the consumer expertise throughout the 3D printing course of. Equally, three print interfaces are included, with the 3D printer supporting SD, U disk, and Sort-C 3D printing strategies.
