Roland MDX-540 SRP®
The MDX-540 SRP® System. It’s one of the fastest and most accurate rapid prototype RP systems on the market. And its price tag is less than half most additive systems. The desktop device comes complete with powerful CAM software, making it easy to quickly produce everything from functional and snap-fit prototypes to light metal molds and custom jewelry.
The MDX-540 SRP® combines precision desktop milling with powerful CAM software, making it easy to produce prototypes with industry leading speed and accuracy.
Rotary Axis
Powered by a 400W spindle, the MDX-540 SRP® mills a wide variety of nonproprietary materials and popular engineered plastics such as ABS, Delrin, and nylon. Compared to additive RP systems, the desktop device produces functional prototypes that perform better in structural, thermal, and electrical testing. Plus, MDX-540 prototype materials meet a host of FDA and other government regulations that additive systems cannot.
The MDX-540 SRP® can also mill non-ferrous prototypes and molds made of aluminum, brass and copper. This lets design engineers create metal molds for rapid injection molding and EDM electrodes for production tooling.
Automatic Tool Changer (ATC)
Bundled SRP Player CAM software automates the prototyping process and generates tool paths with high speed and precision. The user-friendly program offers uniform 3D scaling, support for 4-axis milling, and simulation of finished 3D parts. It lets engineers quickly review the simulated prototype on the monitor and send it to the MDX-540 SRP® for production. The end result is faster prototype production, tighter dimensional accuracies and smooth layer free surfaces.

LPX Series: Automated 3D scanning
Stop wasting hours cleaning up scanned data! With the touch of a button, LPX series 3D laser scanners can generate a detailed CAD model with a .008-inch resolution and a watertight surface. Bundled LPX EZ Studio reverse engineering software automatically scans, fills holes, aligns, decimates and merges planes of 3D models. LPX EZ Studio then exports them as point cloud data that can be easily used directly in SolidWorks 2007 Office Premium and other CAD software.
This integrated hardware/software solution offers affordable and automated 3D scanning for all popular CAD/CAM applications. The LPX-600 scans objects up to 16 inches tall and 10 inches in diameter, while the LPX-60 scans objects up to 12 inches tall and eight inches in diameter. Both enable designers to scan complex, organic shapes for hand-held consumer products, blister package design, hand-sculpted characters for feature animation, and face models for anaplastologists.
Roland LPX EX Studio typically saves designers two to five hours on every scanned object. It exports CAD models in a wide range of data formats, including point cloud, STL, PIX, and 3DM. STL files are used by the industry’s most popular rapid prototyping systems, including those manufactured by Roland, 3D Systems, Stratasys, Z-Corp and Solidscape.
