All In One
Machine
The Roland Active
Piezo Sensor (RAPS) transforms the machine into a 3D
scanner for scanning 3D objects and creating 3D data.
The milling spindle unit turns the machine into a
full-featured CNC (computer numerical control) mill
capable of cutting jeweler's wax, resins, chemical wood,
acrylic, and even light metals such as brass and
aluminum.
Subtractive
RP
Subtractive Rapid
Prototyping (SRP) - starting with a solid object and
removing unwanted material - has several advantages
over traditional rapid prototyping. Significantly
less expensive than rapid prototyping machines with
the same Resolution, SRP machines mill a wider range
of materials that cost less and have no need for
chemicals or post finishing work. Plus, they produce
a superior finish.
R.A.P.S.
Roland Active Piezo
Sensor (RAPS) technology eliminates the drawbacks of
conventional contact-type 3D scanners. It scans data
with hair-splitting precision, picking up even the most
minute shape variations. Minimum scanning pitches for
the MDX-15/20: X/Y-axis direction 0.002 to 0.197 inches
settable in steps of 0.002 inches, Z-axis direction
0.001 inches.
Scans
Almost Anything
The MDX-15/20
scans a wide range of objects including soft objects
like clay and fruit that conventional contact
scanners find very difficult. It can even scan
glass, impossible using optical scanners because the
light beams passes through the object without
detecting
it.
Software
The MDX-15/20
comes standard with powerful CNC milling and
scanning application software compatible with
Windows® 95/98/ME, Windows NT® 4.0 and Windows®
2000, making it easy to use right out of the box.
The MDX-20/15 is also compatible with a variety of
popular 3D CAD and computer graphics software
programs, including SolidWorks, Rhinoceros,
VectorWorks, LightWave, VisualMill and 3D Studio
Max.
Easy As Pie
With an RS-232C
cable, the MDX-15/20 plugs into a computer as easily
as any desktop printer. Within minutes, even
beginners can be scanning and milling.
