An intuitive and easy-to-use Subtractive Rapid Prototyping (SRP) device, the small footprint MDX-40A fits into any Fab Lab, workshop, office or classroom and allows both novice and advanced users to create precision 3D models. Built for designers, engineers and students who work in fast-paced environments, the speed, versatility and convenience of the MDX-40A put you in complete control. The Modela MDX-40A Benchtop CNC Mill allows you to create 3D prototypes from non-proprietary materials, including plastics, woods, ABS, delrin, nylon, acrylic, tooling board and more. Open up endless industrial and creative applications, such as: Product prototypes Snap-fit parts Toys and figurines 3D art and sculpture Replacement parts 3D molds and stamps Electrical casings Plaques and engravings Specifications MODEL MDX-40A Acceptable materials Resins such as chemical wood and modeling wax (metal not supported) X, Y, and Z strokes 12 (X) x 12 (Y) x 4-1/8 (Z) in.
