The 22 IDEX v4 wasn’t designed to be another “dream machine”—it was engineered to be the printer that real manufacturers, labs, and production teams actually need. It delivers high-temperature performance, industrial reliability, and scalability without locking you into proprietary systems or a six-figure cost.
Designed for Production, Refined Through Real-World Use
Now in its fourth generation, the 22 IDEX v4 includes over 200 engineering refinements to improve performance, uptime, and serviceability. This 200-lb system is built from a welded steel frame with foam insulation and a stainless-steel interior that reflects heat for faster warm-ups, higher thermal efficiency, and improved part quality.
A sealed dual-pane door ensures consistent chamber temperature, reducing warping and improving repeatability—critical for advanced polymers. Locking mechanisms on the door and top lid protect jobs in labs, schools, and classified environments, and ruggedized mounting points allow users to bolt the printer to benches, vehicles, or mobile print farms.
An integrated touchscreen offers hands-on control when needed, complementing the full web-based interface.
Advanced Thermal Ecosystem for Engineering-Grade Materials
Industrial polymer printing is won through temperature control—and the 22 IDEX v4 is built like a high-precision oven:
- 100°C heated chamber
- 200°C heated bed
- 500°C independent nozzles
This enables successful printing of ABS, ASA, Nylon, Polycarbonate, glass- and carbon-filled composites, and true high-performance materials like PEEK, ULTEM™, PPSU, and PAEK.
The result: stronger layer adhesion, reduced internal stress, fewer lifted corners, and improved dimensional accuracy. Many polymers effectively anneal during printing, eliminating post-processing distortion.
Built-in high-temperature HEPA and carbon filtration with recirculation ensures safety and fume control. External extraction plenums are also supported.
Industrial Automation That Saves Time and Eliminates Guesswork
Dual-nozzle IDEX systems are notorious for calibration challenges. The V4 solves this with one-button automatic calibration for X/Y/Z tool offsets and true mechanical automatic bed leveling using the nozzles themselves—no probes, jigs, or paper.
The bed physically tilts to match nozzle geometry, staying aligned across glass, carbon fiber, FR4, Garolite, or custom plates. Profile-building scripts help dial in settings for any brand of Nylon or specialty polymer quickly.
Professional connectivity includes Wi-Fi, Ethernet, USB, SD, remote monitoring, firmware access, and web-based control from any device.
Precision and Throughput for Real-World Production
Independent dual extrusion unlocks dual-material printing, soluble or breakaway supports, varied nozzle sizes, multi-color jobs, and engineering-grade part integration—such as combining carbon-fiber nylon with unfilled nylon in bearing surfaces.
Mirror Mode and Duplicate Mode double throughput by printing two parts at once. Optional input shaping increases speed while maintaining accuracy. Filament runout detection and auto spool switching keep long jobs running without interruption.
Designed with future capability in mind, the hardware supports non-planar and 5-axis slicing evolution.
Industrial Capability Without the Industrial Price Tag
Compared to $100K+ industrial printers, the 22 IDEX v4 offers comparable chamber temps, material capabilities, filtration, and dual IDEX performance—at a fraction of the cost. Instead of buying one machine, many operations purchase multiple V4 units for higher throughput and redundancy.
Unlike hobby-grade systems that max out around 65°C chambers and 350°C nozzles, the V4 meets true engineering-material requirements. This is why it’s trusted by defense contractors, research labs, universities, and advanced manufacturers where failure isn’t an option.
Serviceability and Support That Keeps You Running
The machine is designed for maintenance—not lock-in. Off-the-shelf components, accessible internals, and extensive documentation empower teams to service and sustain the system for years. Support comes from a U.S.-based team with hands-on expertise and real-time assistance when needed.
Built for Teams That Need Results, Not Excuses
If you need real engineering materials, real throughput, and a reliable production-ready platform with expert support behind it, the 22 IDEX v4 delivers. Starting at $14,900, it’s built for the shop floor—not the showroom.
Whether you’re scaling into print farms or adding high-temperature capabilities to an existing operation, this system provides the performance and flexibility needed to move from prototyping to production with confidence.
