Why v4?
The 22 IDEX v4 takes the proven v4 foundation and adds usability, security/compliance, and future expandability—without pushing you into a six-figure ecosystem or proprietary materials.
Open Material System
Not locked to vendor specific filaments
True IDEX Printing
for multi-material, soluble supports, duplication, and mirror modes—effectively two printers in one.
Improved Useability
100+ micro-adjustments to improve the overall user experience.
Improved Thermals
Higher temperatures for reliable 3D printing of ultrapolymers
We use our own machinery in our service bureau every day -- taking our own experiences, along with that of our customers, ranging from Fortune 500 companies to independent fabrication shops, and made the 22 IDEX better than ever before.
WHAT'S NEW?
New Look, Same Workhorse
We've gathered all the input from the last several years - from our shop, our customers, the field, all over the world, and made a series of upgrades to the v4:
Thermal
Architecture
Triple-wall/IR-reflective insulation and dual-pane, fully-sealed door for faster heat-up, tighter chamber stability, and fewer lifted corners.
Safety &
Air Quality
Integrated HEPA + Carbon filtration with internal recirculation. Keeps VOCs/particles down and reduces facility integration costs while still supporting external ventilation
Designed for
Field Use
Lockable doors and lids allow you to keep your prints safe from intrusion while the mounting points allow you to deploy the machine anywhere in the world.
Integrated
Touchscreen
Make quick changes on the fly without the need to return to your controller - extra convenience with proximity on the shop floor.

HIGH-PERFORMANCE MATERIALS,
STRAIGHT OUT OF THE BOX
STRONG parts. Functional Polymers.
Parts you can sell, materials you can print jigs and fixtures from, vacuum molds, press brake tooling - if it can be 3D printed, there's a good chance you can do all that and more, on the 22 IDEX v4.
- Aerospace-grade replacement parts, tooling, fixtures
- Autoclavable, sterilizable tools for medical applications
- Rigid, chemical & radiation resistant polymer composites
- High-temp, metal-replacement thermoplastics
Under-the-hood in race cars, to satellites in space - whether you're a one-man operation, or a 20,000+ employee aerospace company, this machine can get your job done.
HARDWARE FOR ADVANCED USERS
500ºC Nozzles
Independent Dual-Extruder Hotends
Maximum temperatures give you the ability to print any Performance Thermoplastic on the market, from PLA to PEEK, PEKK, ULTEM™ , PPSU, and more.
Unlike other machines, BOTH hotends reach the full 500ºC, enabling multi-material, duplication mode, mirror mode, and full use of supports - soluble and otherwise.
TRUE SELF-LEVELING BUILD PLATFORM
Never manually level your bed again. Triple Z-Axis motors enable true self-leveling of the build platform, combined with 128-point+ mesh leveling (technically unlimited points), so the hotends will compensate for any variation in the build surface.
On top of that (literally), the QUAD-motor XY gantry squares itself -- your parts will maintain accuracy over time, without having to constantly recalibrate.
100ºC+ Chamber
Actively Heated Chamber
Performance thermoplastics are next to impossible without a heated build environment - the 22 IDEX heats up to 100ºC+, enabling functional high-temp materials with solid mechanical properties. Dual chamber thermistors monitor the temperature, with auxiliary convection fans ensuring an evenly-heated build volume.
Unlimited Materials
1.75mm Open-Filament FFF/FDM System
Not locked into proprietary materials, limited nozzle temperatures, or overly-expensive branded filaments... we carry the best materials we can find, at Vision Miner, from several sources -- but you're ALWAYS welcome to use your own. FAR 25.853, UL94 V0 rated materials, and more.
Unlocked Firmware
Up-to-date RepRap firmware on Duet 3
The latest and greatest firmware comes installed on your 22 IDEX, and there are always up-to-date links to the latest versions available in our documentation.
MADE FOR ENGINEERING MATERIALS
USE THE WIDEST RANGE OF PERFORMANCE THERMOPLASTICS
Basically all of them. We're talking about functional polymers -- whether you're focused on Carbon Fiber Nylons, ULTEM™ 9085, or Glass fiber PEEK, the 22 IDEX v4 has you covered, with virtually unlimited material options:
We use our video library—setup guides, maintenance tips, advanced tuning, and real-world material tests—so you can see the 22 IDEX in action. We’re always trying new polymers and sharing every discovery on YouTube, giving you real-time, transparent guidance. Dive in and get up and running faster than ever.
