MDX-500/650: (3/4-axis CNC Milling and 3D Engraving Machine)

With the strong horse power, MDX-500/650 is able to handle a wide variety of materials. As MDX-500/650 is a highly stable and inexpensive CNC milling and 3D engraving machine, many manufacturers, for example, those in the watch-making and silverware products industries, have purchased it to produce their products directly.

MDX-500

MDX-650

 

Users of MDX-650 can select the optional rotary axis to perform rapid prototyping. Since the controller of MDX-650 can directly link up with the ArtCAM Jewellery Edition, it automates the whole production process and ensures that work pieces can be completed without errors.

The convenient operation interface of the controller and its LCD display let you control the speed and the coordinates easily.

With the NC programming system and the optional rotary axis, the MDX-650 is able to produce faster, more accurate prototypes.

Jewellery, rings and other products can be produced easily at one time.


Application software included

MODELA PLAYER 4

This is the latest version of MODELA PLAYER. Experienced users can make modifications flexibly by utilizing its professional CNC programming function.

New MODELA PLAYER can support different cutting tools and milling methods, and the fully automatic rapid prototyping technique. (with the optional rotary axis)

 

Virtual MODELA

Virtual MODELA provides a quick preview of the entire milling operation. This powerful feature eliminates milling errors, enables simulation of finished shapes and estimates production time.

 

Machining Quality

With the optional rotary axis, work pieces with irregular and complicated shapes can be produced at one time.

This picture depicts a chemical wood. The same technique can be applied to ABS, polyurethane, wax, aluminum, brass and other non-ferrous metals.

The MDX-650 can create high quality molds and dies using ordinary metals.


 

Making of Jewellery Prototypes

A MDX-650 device on the steel desk.

Rings can be completely produced while the optional rotary axis is in use.

The MDX-650 can mill 10 to 12 rings at one time.

Remove unwanted parts of the ring after milling.

Once the whole ring is completed, it can be further processed by the lost wax casting method.
