The MDX-650 benchtop SRP (Subtractive Rapid Prototyping) device lets engineers and designers mill 3D prototypes quickly and inexpensively. With its optional rotary axis, the MDX-650 becomes a 4-axis machine capable of milling all four sides of an object. The MDX-650 produces hi-quality molds in just a few hours. In addition to saving time and money, the MDX-650 lets engineers keep proprietary secrets in-house.

Subtractive RP
Subtractive Rapid Prototyping (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.
Rotary Axis (Optional)
The optional rotary axis lets the MDX-650 produce faster, more-accurate models. When one side is completed, the part is automatically rotated until all four sides have been milled. This saves engineers the time and errors associated with rotating objects by hand. Loadable workspace with the rotary axis is 7 7/8" (diameter) x 16 1/8".<
Hi-Precision Spindle
A Hi-Precision Spindle decreases vibration within the unit and produces models that are more accurate. The spindle has a rotation of 3,000 to 12,000 RPM and uses ISO15448 standard collets.
SRP Software
Bundled with all Roland SRP devices, 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� 95/98/NT.
Automatic Tool Changer (Optional)
Designed exclusively for the MDX-650 SRP system, the Roland Automatic Tool Changer (ATC) further reduces the time and cost associated with product development. From roughing to finishing, this powerful accessory enables the MDX-650 to mill prototypes completely unattended. It automatically changes up to eight preset tools of different sizes. When used in conjunction with the optional rotary axis, it can change up to four different tools. The ATC comes with an air-activated, high-precision spindle.
Materials
The MDX-650 mills ABS, polyurethane, wax, aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous metals. Ideal for milling high-precision prototypes, Roland offers SRP boards made from Low Density and Medium Density Urethane. Roland wax boards are excellent for creating molds and models.
Safety First
The MDX-650'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.
Fast & Accurate
The MDX-500 and MDX-650 feature 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.
