22 IDEX v4 · Designed and built by Vision Miner

We build machines for ultra-performance polymers

The 22 IDEX prints PEEK, ULTEM™, PPSU and carbon fiber parts that do the job of machined ones. We build the printer, make the adhesive that holds those polymers down, and stock the filament, Formlabs SLA and SLS printers and 3D scanners to round out your shop.

Our story

We BUILD MACHINES

We started in 2017 reselling other companies' printers. Nobody was building a high-temp machine the way it needed to be built, so in 2020 we built our own: the 22 IDEX. It's on version 4 now.

Run in our own shop every day

High-temp filament · where we started

Keep it printing

High-temp polymers are how Vision Miner started in 2017, and they're still the center of everything we do. These are the materials that replace aluminum brackets, steel fittings and machined housings. We stock them, run them in our own shop and can tell you which one your part needs.

Nano Polymer Adhesive · made by Vision Miner

Every layer depends on the first one

We made NPA in 2018 because nothing on the market would hold PEEK down. Now it's used on printers all over the world, and it's a favorite with hobby printers and industrial shops alike.

Born in our shop

Built to solve our own PEEK warping problem, before anyone else had an answer.

Hobby to industrial

The same bottle on a desktop printer and on a heated-chamber production machine.

Any printer, any plate

Glass, PEI, carbon fiber and more. Ours or anyone else's machine.

Easy cleanup

Wet the plate and the part lets go. No scraping, no glue-stick mess.

Beyond FDM

SLA & SLS

All Formlabs ›

A lot of our customers didn't need FDM. They needed fine detail, smooth surfaces, or tough nylon parts with no supports. So we added Formlabs, and now we can put almost any part on the right process. We also just love the tech: we run it every day, which is how we know it well enough to support it.

The whole toolbox, one shop

FDM, SLA, SLS and 3D scanning, all under one roof at Vision Miner. One team to buy from, train with and call when something's off, and we'll put each part on the process that fits it best.

Fine detail.
Smooth surfaces.

Resin parts that come off the printer looking molded. Prototypes, master patterns, dental and production tooling.

We sell 3D scanners too

3D scanners

Shining 3D

Master reseller

Partner since 2018

We've sold, demoed and supported the full Shining 3D line since 2018, from hobby scanners to enterprise metrology for whole teams. We explain the tech straight, show it working live on your parts, and help you fit a scanner into how your shop already works. 

Put down the calipers.

Calipers get you a handful of dimensions after hours of work. A scanner gets you the whole part in minutes, ready for CAD and ready to print.

Live demos on your parts, not a sales deck

Straight answers from people who scan every week

Hobbyist to enterprise, from one scanner to a full team

Hard parts made real

We're known in the industry for our videos as much as our machines. Some people call us evangelists for high-temp FDM, and we'll take it. We love making this stuff: what we print, what breaks, what works and why, so you can learn it before you buy anything.
