Vision Miner has released the fourth generation of its high-temperature IDEX 3D printer, the 22 IDEX v4. Designed for manufacturers, engineers, and operators working with demanding materials, the system builds on nearly five years of field-tested production and almost a decade of company experience. It delivers industrial-grade performance at a significantly lower cost than comparable platforms.
Proven performance meets high-temperature capability
The 22 IDEX platform has been in continuous operation across industries including aerospace, automotive, medical, energy, and defense. With machines running daily on production floors, Vision Miner’s systems have built a reputation for longevity and reliability under challenging operating conditions. The v4 introduces refinements that improve usability, maintainability, and long-term performance.
Advanced polymers at an accessible price point
At the core of the platform is its ability to process high-performance materials such as PEEK, PEKK, ULTEM™, PPSU, and carbon-fiber-reinforced nylons. These polymers are typically reserved for machines priced well above $50,000 USD. By comparison, the 22 IDEX v4 launches today at $14,900 USD, making it one of the most accessible high-temp production systems currently available.
Unlike consumer-oriented printers, the 22 IDEX is purpose-built for industrial use. It features a fully enclosed, rigid-frame architecture, independently controlled dual extruders, and a high-temperature hot end and chamber setup. The system is engineered for ease of maintenance, with accessible components designed to reduce downtime in production environments.
According to Vision Miner, the machine serves both small businesses seeking affordable industrial performance and larger organizations looking to scale additive workflows without unnecessary complexity or cost. The company emphasizes that the 22 IDEX has been proven in real-world production, not just on paper.
With today’s release, Vision Miner continues its mission to expand access to high-performance additive manufacturing. The 22 IDEX v4 offers advanced material capability, reliable operation, and a return on investment that stands out in its class.
