These two MDX machines share the characteristics Compact, Lightweight, Good looking and Lowcost. The combination in one machine
of both milling and 3D scanning makes these machines ideal for applications like concept design (foam models) and jewelry design
(wax models), where handmade models have to be digitized and new models have to be created.
SYSTEM OVERVIEW
The stylish good looks of the MDX 15/20 make it an attractive addition to your desktop, while its low weight and compact size do make
true desktop prototyping possible. All control electronics are integrated.
As a milling machine it can handle light materials like modelling foam and wax, so its main applications are Concept Modelling and
Jewelry (wax models for investment casting).
Its operation is by far the easiest of all available machines: it can be driven from the PC by just sending a file to the printer port, no extra
software is needed. As the home position is fixed no controls on the machine are needed too. The NC file needs to be in Roland format,
which can be chosen in most CAM packages. To directly drive the machine from any graphics application (2D engraving only) a
Windows driver is included.
As a scanner the machine is driven from a PC by the included Picza software. This software enables you to set the area to be scanned
and the resolution (pitch) to be used. The rest is done automatically, including the conversion of point cloud data to a valid CAD
geometry (polygon file). Output of the CAD geometry is possible in STL, DXF and VRML format.

Modela MDX-15 and MDX-20
Combination machines for both desktop 3D scanning and CNC milling.
The flat working table of the machine can easily be taken off, in order to attach the model or the material block, simply using doubly
sided adhesive tape. You do choose between milling and scanning by fitting the correct head on the machine. The head unit then is
connected to the machine simply by plugging in its cable.
The three axes move over steel bearings and are driven by stepper motors via metal traction wires. The light spindle motor (10 W, 6500
rpm) is only intended for foam and other light materials. A transparent enclosure is added for both safety and clean operation.
Where Concept Modelers are promoted to be 3D printers, seeing price, dimensions and ease-of-use this cute machine is the first real
concept modeler ever.
