One of the terms that we have increasingly heard in the 3D printing field is IDEX. Meaning independent dual extruders, the technique allows for two print heads to move independently of each other. Each has a nozzle and can print with either the same or different materials allowing for much faster FDM printing as well as the creation of complex geometries with overhangs or support structures that can be easily removed after printing. However, one drawback is that many IDEX solutions are not able to have a larger print volume. Luckily that does not need to be the case. MINGDA 3D has launched its latest 3D printer, the MD-400D, which is notable not just for its own IDEX system with different functions, but also for its size.
As mentioned, though IDEX printers are gaining in popularity, many have a printing volume of around 200-300 mm while the MD-400D has a build volume of 400x400x400 mm in free mode, larger than many of the other solutions on the market. But of course that is not all. MINGDA itself is a Chinese company that since 2012 has sought to provide large-scale industrial 3D printing solutions to the world. The MD-400D is a continuation of that goal. One product manager at MINGDA 3D expands, “We are thrilled to introduce the MD-400D to the 3D printing community. This printer represents our commitment to pushing the boundaries of innovation and providing our customers with the tools they need to bring their ideas to life. With its advanced features and exceptional performance, the MD-400D will set a new standard in IDEX 3D printing technology.” We took a closer look at what you can expect from the machine.

The Features of MINGDA MD-400D 3D Printer
With the MD-400D, MINGDA 3D has created an IDEX 3D printer that can truly be considered to be industrial-grade thanks to its large-scale and high-temperature 3D printing. According to the manufacturer, this makes it the idea choice for a variety of needs notably two-color, two-material and mass production additive manufacturing. And that has been facilitated by the inclusion of a number of interesting characteristics.
