The MDX-540 is revolutionizing rapid prototyping. Subtractive Rapid Prototyping (SRP) can reduce the time and cost of product development over additive processes. The MDX-540 incorporate Feed Forward Processing that: Predicts tool movements by working in a closed loop, Looks ahead to gather information about upcoming tool paths and Dramatically improves SRP speed and precision. 

Turn CAD designs into 3D prototypes quickly and inexpensively. Work flawlessly with GibbsCAM and other CAM software.

The MDX-540 produces hi-quality molds in just a few hours. Large work area (19.6(X) x 15.7(Y) x 6.1(Z) inches)

• Easy, unattended creation of 3D prototypes and molds
• CNC milling software includes Visual Mill & Modela Player 4
• Supports industry standard NC codes
• Easily handles wide range of materials - including: wood, brass & copper
• Mills at 400 to 12,000 rpm
• Built-in safety features & optional cover
• Accuracy of within 0.000039”/step (0.001mm/step)

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.

An optional Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) and Rotary Axis Unit are available for the MDX-540. The ATC adds unattended milling capability, with tool length offsets and automatic measurement features. 

The optional Rotary Axis Unit’s angle control feature provides enhanced precision and tolerances and enables the MDX-540 to become a 4-axis machine capable of milling all four sides of an object.

MDX-540 Features:

The MDX-540 features 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.

Materials:
The MDX- 540 mills ABS, RenShape Board, polyurethane, wax, aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous metals. Ideal for milling high-precision prototypes from SRP boards made from light-density and medium-density polyurethane.

Software included with the MDX-540

Bundled with all Roland milling machines, the MODELA CAM software package accepts DXF and 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® 98/NT/XP.

Bundled SRP Player CAM software automates the prototyping process and generates tool paths with high speed and precision. The user-friendly, wizard-based program offers uniform 3D scaling, support for 4-axis milling, and simulation of finished 3D parts. It lets engineers quickly review the simulated prototype on the monitor and send it to the MDX-540 for production. The end result is faster prototype production, tighter dimensional accuracies and a silky smooth surface finish.

Safety:

The MDX-540'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-650 even in an office environment.
