The MODELA MDX-40A 3D desktop milling machine is Roland's newest Subtractive Rapid Prototyping (SRP) solution offering the ultimate in performance and value. By starting with a solid object and removing unwanted material, Roland’s new MDX-40A SRP 3D milling machine offers several advantages over 3D printers and other rapid prototyping systems including lower cost of ownership, tighter tolerances, smoother surface finishes and support for a wider range of materials including ABS, acrylic, chemical woods, plaster, styrene, Acetal, Nylon and FDA approved plastics.

The MDX-40A is compact, easy to use and offers a work area of 12" x 12" x 4.1" (305(X) x 305(Y) x 105(Z)mm). It is ideal for modeling and reviewing design concepts in-house, eliminating the time, costs and security risks associated with outsourcing. The MDX-40A comes complete with SRP Player CAM Software which takes your design from CAD model to physical prototype in six easy steps. Options include the ZCL-40A rotary axis unit for unattended 360 degree modeling and the ZSC-1 contact 3D scanning unit for reverse engineering.
