A Small Machine for Big Ideas
The MDX-40A is a versatile CNC mill that handles a wide variety of non-proprietary plastic and resin materials, including ABS, delrin, nylon, acrylic, chemical wood and tooling board. Everything from smooth art sculptures to high-precision parts and prototypes can be created with the MDX-40A, helping you transform concepts into functional objects. It can also operate as a stand-alone CNC engraving machine, offering further flexibility and potential revenue streams.
Easy is an Understatement
Become a prototyping expert almost immediately with the MDX-40A’s simple yet powerful Virtual Control Panel and bundled SRP Player CAM software. A five-step workflow takes the user through effortless milling, while speed, cursor and cutting tools offer further control. Optional extras include a ZCL-40A rotary axis for uninterrupted 360-degree modeling and a scanning unit for reverse engineering and digitizing of existing parts or molds.
Smooth Milling Minimal Finishing
The MDX-40A Benchtop CNC Mill is equipped with a high-precision spindle that reduces vibration and produces extremely accurate prototypes, perfect for achieving even complex snap-fit finishes. With ISO15448 standard collets, the MDX-40A generates a smooth surface finish that requires little to no post finishing work.
Prototypes that Work
The MDX-40A creates functional prototypes for industry testing that can survive a barrage of physical tests, including thermal and structural trials. Prototypes even as simple as a toothbrush undergo in-vivo testing for hand fit, brush reach and handle deflection.
