Unmatched Interest from the Military & Department of Defense
The 22IDEX Industrial 3D printer has caught the attention of military branches across the board—Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and even the Space Force. With government contractors like Northrop Grumman in the mix, it’s clear that this printer is doing something right.
Why the 22IDEX is a Game-Changer
1. Open-Source Duet Control System
The military values adaptability and security, and the 22IDEX delivers with its Duet-based open-source control system. Unlike proprietary systems, this allows complete customization, modification, and ensures no reliance on foreign-made components.
2. Cost-Effective and Scalable
Would you rather have one large, expensive machine that prints a single part at a time, or multiple smaller machines producing simultaneously? The 22IDEX makes it possible to operate five high-performance printers for the price of one industrial-grade unit, significantly boosting production capacity.
3. High-Temperature Material Support
The 22IDEX excels in printing advanced thermoplastics like PEEK, ULTEM, PPSU, PVDF, and more, all at a competitive price point. These materials are essential for aerospace, naval, and defense applications due to their resistance to extreme heat, chemicals, and mechanical stress.
Built for Field Deployment
Designed like a rugged American muscle car, the 22IDEX prioritizes simplicity, durability, and ease of maintenance:
- Accessible Components: No proprietary barriers—everything is serviceable by in-field engineers.
- Heavy-Duty Construction: Built from thick metal with a robust motion system.
- Plug-and-Play Maintenance: Terminal blocks for hotends make repairs and swaps seamless.
Applications in Military and Aerospace
Whether it’s functional part fabrication in remote locations or rapid prototyping for mission-critical components, the 22IDEX delivers:
- Navy: Producing corrosion-resistant parts that withstand saltwater and diesel exposure.
- Air Force: Printing UL94 V-0-rated flame-retardant components for cockpit safety.
- Army & Marines: On-demand spare parts in the field, reducing logistical delays.
With Real USA Customer Support
Unlike offshore-manufactured alternatives, the 22IDEX is developed and supported entirely in the USA. That means real customer service—you call, and we answer.
The Future of the 22IDEX
With continuous improvements, the latest V3 version is more refined than ever. And what’s next? Well, let’s just say it starts with an S as in Subscribe. Stay tuned.
