Industrial 3D Printers, Built in India

Four machines that exist because a desktop printer could not do the job: size, speed, temperature or geometry. All designed and built in Bengaluru, and supported from there.

What makes a printer industrial

Four Things, and None of Them Is the Price

“Industrial” is an unregulated word. These are the differences that actually change what a machine can do.

A managed thermal environment

An enclosure that holds temperature — passively on Dragon and Twin Dragon, actively to 90 °C on Volterra. This is what stops a large engineering part warping off the plate at hour six.

Motion that survives the speed

Dragon’s hybrid CoreXY drives the XY gantry with four motors rather than two — less belt stretch, less ringing, and accuracy that does not collapse at 600 mm/s.

The sensors that save a long print

Filament runout and flow detection, an automatic door lock during high-temperature operation, and a 5 MP camera. An eleven-hour build has to be trustworthy for eleven hours.

A material path that reaches the material

450 °C nozzles, hardened steel for abrasives, an integrated filament pre-heater on Volterra, and nozzles from 0.25 to 1.2 mm. Most ‘industrial’ machines stop at 300 °C and brass.

Envelope you can plan production around

Up to 700 × 400 × 400 mm on Dragon and 600 × 600 × 400 mm on Twin Dragon — big single parts, or a plate packed with a batch.

Fleet-ready connectivity

USB, Wi-Fi and LAN on every machine, with a job queue in Fracktory. A machine that cannot be fed over the network is a machine someone has to walk to.

Before you specify one

What Buyers Ask Us

Which one for carbon-fibre and engineering polymers?
Volterra. A 450 °C nozzle, a 90 °C actively heated chamber and a 150 °C plate are what PC, PA and PEKK-class polymers need to flow, bond and not warp — and hardened nozzles handle abrasive fillers. Dragon and Twin Dragon will run CF-Nylon; Volterra is what runs the rest.
What do I actually get from IDEX?
Three things. Soluble supports on a second head, so internal geometry becomes printable. Two-colour or two-material parts. And mirror and duplication modes, which turn one machine into two for symmetric or repeated parts.
When is SLS worth it over FFF?
When the geometry is the hard part, or when the quantity is. No supports means internal channels, lattices and captive assemblies become printable; and parts nest in three dimensions, so fifty costs far less per part than fifty on a build plate.
Can these run unattended?
That is what the filament runout and flow sensors, the automatic door lock and the 5 MP camera are for. Long builds are the normal case on these machines, not the exception.
What about installation and training?
Machines are delivered, installed and proven printing — not left in a crate — and operator training is for the people who will actually run it. Through an authorised reseller the warranty and support are identical to buying direct.

Specify the machine around the part

Tell us the largest part, the material it has to be made in and how much of the week the machine will run. That answers the specification faster than a feature list does.
