The 22 IDEX v4 takes the proven v4 foundation and adds usability, security/compliance, and future expandability—without pushing you into a six-figure ecosystem or proprietary materials.
Not locked to vendor specific filaments
for multi-material, soluble supports, duplication, and mirror modes—effectively two printers in one.
100+ micro-adjustments to improve the overall user experience.
Higher temperatures for reliable 3D printing of ultrapolymers
We've gathered all the input from the last several years - from our shop, our customers, the field, all over the world, and made a series of upgrades to the v4:
Triple-wall/IR-reflective insulation and dual-pane, fully-sealed door for faster heat-up, tighter chamber stability, and fewer lifted corners.
Integrated HEPA + Carbon filtration with internal recirculation. Keeps VOCs/particles down and reduces facility integration costs while still supporting external ventilation
Lockable doors and lids allow you to keep your prints safe from intrusion while the mounting points allow you to deploy the machine anywhere in the world.
Make quick changes on the fly without the need to return to your controller - extra convenience with proximity on the shop floor.
We use our own machinery in our service bureau every day -- taking our own experiences, along with that of our customers, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to independent fabrication shops, and made the 22 IDEX better than ever before.
Parts you can sell, materials you can print jigs and fixtures from, vacuum molds, press brake tooling - if it can be 3D printed, there's a good chance you can do all that and more, on the 22 IDEX v4.
Under-the-hood in race cars, to satellites in space - whether you're a one-man operation, or a 20,000+ employee aerospace company, this machine can get your job done.
Independent Dual-Extruder Hotends
Maximum temperatures give you the ability to print any Performance Thermoplastic on the market, from PLA to PEEK, PEKK, ULTEM™ , PPSU, and more.
Unlike other machines, BOTH hotends reach the full 500ºC, enabling multi-material, duplication mode, mirror mode, and full use of supports - soluble and otherwise.
Never manually level your bed again. Triple Z-Axis motors enable true self-leveling of the build platform, combined with 128-point+ mesh leveling (technically unlimited points), so the hotends will compensate for any variation in the build surface.
On top of that (literally), the QUAD-motor XY gantry squares itself -- your parts will maintain accuracy over time, without having to constantly recalibrate.
Performance thermoplastics are next to impossible without a heated build environment - the 22 IDEX heats up to 100ºC+, enabling functional high-temp materials with solid mechanical properties. Dual chamber thermistors monitor the temperature, with auxiliary convection fans ensuring an evenly-heated build volume.
Not locked into proprietary materials, limited nozzle temperatures, or overly-expensive branded filaments... we carry the best materials we can find, at Vision Miner, from several sources -- but you're ALWAYS welcome to use your own. FAR 25.853, UL94 V0 rated materials, and more.
Basically all of them. We're talking about functional polymers -- whether you're focused on Carbon Fiber Nylons, ULTEM™ 9085, or Glass fiber PEEK, the 22 IDEX v4 has you covered, with virtually unlimited material options:
| Polymer Class | Max Temp | Amorphous | Semi-Crystalline |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ultra-Performance Polymers | 400°C+ | PEKK-APEI (ULTEM™ 1010 & 9085)TPI | PEEKPEKK-CPAEK (AM200) |
| High-Performance Polymers | 330°C+ | PEIPESPSUPESU | PVDFPPSPA9T |
| Engineering-Grade Polymers | 220°C+ | PC (Polycarbonate)TPUPPE/PSPC/ABS | NylonsPA12PA6POM |
| Commodity-Grade Polymers | 180°C+ | ABSASAHIPSPETG | OBCPPPLAPCTG |
In production, “a little filter” isn’t enough. The 22 IDEX V4 ships with integrated HEPA and active carbon filtration that continuously scrubs the air inside the printer, dramatically reducing particles and odors. For stricter environments, you can still connect 2" hoses to external fume extraction systems and plug the machine right into your existing safety infrastructure.
Our automated XY toolhead alignment eliminates the older style of having to do multiple alignment prints. Pulling from proven, precision practices of the CNC Industry, our Auto Alignment probe takes the guesswork out of the picture with one easy, automated process.
The filament on the 22 IDEX is stored inside the chamber while printing -- this means that when using the heated chamber with hygroscopic filaments (read: most filaments), the filament is kept dry, eliminating much of the oozing, blobbing, and poor surface finishes due to moisture.
Safety is paramount, in the workplace and workshop - the printer will automatically shut down if it senses overheating, thermal runaways, or electrical errors. Solid State Relays and quality wires are just a fraction of the safety features designed into the machine, from the ground up.
