Modix Large Scale 3D Printers
Modix Scale 3D Printers are more powerful & versatile
- Printing large objects as one part make them stronger and it also saves time on post processing – no shim to hide.
- Print multiple smaller items in one batch production.
- Easy to customize design to better meet your own needs.
- Open – use filament from any vendor and any slicing software.
- Flexible – from 50 microns up to large robust objects.
Modix 3D Printers come in the form of a self –assembly kit and uses the FFF (fused filament fabrication method). We help you with the total assembly of Modix 3D Printers as we are the distributors for Modix in India and have more than 12 years of experience in 3D Printing industry. Our printing head supports almost any existing filament including PLA, ABS, composites: Carbon fiber, Wood, Copper, Brass, Magnetic, PHA, PVA , Hips, Nylon, TPE & TPU (flexible) Co-Polyester, PETG and any filament vendor can be used
Frequently Asked Questions
This printer can be used for low volume commercial production or prototyping. However sometimes surface treatment may be needed to make the parts better looking
The cost depends upon the material cost however you can estimate the cost using our slicer software. The material cost starts upwards from INR 1000/- per kg for PLA so the cost of printer is pretty reasonable as compared to other printing technologies
The machine should be in a ventilated room. If you print with PLA only it can be near people. otherwise this should be a room with no people sitting in it because of the vapor
We give a 1 year warranty on the machine that includes spares and not consumables. Modix usually ships spares directly to customer and it may take a few days to arrive. However as a distributor we do have a stock of some essential spare for urgent use.
