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. Learn More CNC Software Bundled with all Roland SRP devices, the MODELA CAM software package accepts DXFand STL files exported from commercially available CAD/CAM software. The program allows for uniform 3D scaling, selection of milling direction and automatic generation and display of the tool path. Cutting depths and speeds are controlled from a predefined material library, or they can be set to user-defined specifications. The MODELA CAM software package is compatible with Windows® 95/98/NT. Materials The MDX-500 mills ABS, polyurethane, wax, aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous metals. Ideal for milling high-precision prototypes, Roland offers SRP boards made from light-density and medium-density polyurethane. Roland wax boards are excellent for creating molds and models. Safety First The MDX-500's emergency stop switch enables you to shut down the machine at the push of a button. An optional safety cover makes the cutting mechanism inaccessible during operation. It also prevents dust produced during the machining operation from entering the surrounding environment. This makes it possible to operate the MDX-500 even in an office environment. Compatible PICZA scans can be stored in DXF, STL, BMP, Grayscale (BMP), 3DMF and VRML file formats, so you can use them for a wide range of applications. You can make 3D objects with MODELA directly from PICZA's scan data, or edit it with computer graphics software first and then process it with MODELA for more advanced modeling. Fast & Accurate The MDX-500 and MDX-650 feature Feed Forward Processing (FFP) – a predictive technology that anticipates tool path – for greater accuracy, speed and energy efficiency. Roland has combined FFP technology with belt drives and digital AC Servo brushless motors on the X, Y and Z axes to generate high speed and high torque for smooth, steady milling.
