FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vision Miner Unveils Next-Generation 22 IDEX v4 — A 4th-Generation High-Temperature IDEX Platform Proven in Aerospace, Defense, and Advanced Manufacturing
Engineered for mission-critical polymer production, the new system brings aerospace-grade precision, automated calibration, and long-term reliability to industrial and defense additive manufacturing.
November 4, 2025 — Vision Miner, the U.S. manufacturer specializing exclusively in high-temperature industrial 3D printing, today announced the launch of the 22 IDEX v4, the latest evolution of its flagship dual-extrusion high-temperature platform. With nearly four years of real-world field deployment across defense laboratories, aerospace manufacturers, national research institutions, and Fortune 500 companies, the V4 sets a new benchmark for automated precision, material intelligence, and operational dependability in additive manufacturing.
Used by elite organizations including multiple branches of the U.S. military, Lockheed Martin, Caltech, major defense contractors, and global OEMs, the Vision Miner 22 IDEX platform has earned a reputation for exceptional reliability in harsh environments and demanding production workflows.
Built for High-Performance Polymers. Proven in Mission-Critical Operations.
With support for ultra-polymers such as PEEK, PEKK, ULTEM, PPSU, and advanced composites, the V4 is purpose-built for aerospace, defense, energy, and specialized industrial production — enabling on-demand manufacturing of flight-ready components, tooling, jigs, fixtures, rugged housings, and field-repair parts.
Key advancements include:
- Fully automated three-plane axis squaring and calibration
- Self-correcting linear motion and auto-belt-tensioning systems
- Production-optimized thermal architecture and integrated HEPA + carbon filtration
- Smart material profiles developed from deep R&D and real-world deployments
- Ruggedized chassis, industrial safety systems, ITAR-secure architecture
Industrial Power Without the Industrial Complexity
The 22 IDEX v4 delivers precision previously reserved for six-figure platforms — without sacrificing approachability. One-touch calibration, robust motion control, advanced thermal stability, and automated profiles allow organizations to deploy high-temp additive capability rapidly and at scale.
