Engineered for Industrial Performance

The 22 IDEX v4 is a high-temperature industrial 3D printer built for real production. Designed and refined through four generations, this machine is engineered for professionals who print true engineering-grade materials like PEEK, ULTEM, PPSU, CF-Nylon, and Polycarbonate without paying $100K+ price tag for a proprietary system. If you’re searching for a high-temperature dual-extrusion 3D printer that delivers industrial reliability, precision, and throughput, this is it.

From the start, Vision Miner’s goal wasn’t to build the printer of our dreams, it was to build the printer you actually need. The 22 IDEX v4 is designed for real-world manufacturing, research labs, defense contractors, and engineering teams that demand consistency and control. Every inch of this fourth-generation machine is refined for performance, serviceability, and uptime. With over 200 updates since the V3, it’s tougher, smarter, and easier to maintain. Built from welded steel and insulated with stainless steel and foam, the v4 creates a true thermal ecosystem.

Heated Chamber and 2x 500°C Nozzles

The heated chamber reaches 100°C, the bed 200°C, and each nozzle hits 500°C, unlocking virtually any thermoplastic filament on the market. That means stronger parts, better interlayer adhesion, and reliable precision with materials like ABS, Nylon, Polycarbonate, PEEK, and ULTEM. Internal reflection surfaces and thermal optimization reduce energy use while improving part quality, especially for high-warp polymers.

IDEX and Print Modes

The machine’s dual independent extrusion (IDEX) system allows you to print with two materials, support structures, or mirror/duplicate parts for double throughput. You can pair carbon-fiber-reinforced materials with unfilled nylons, soluble supports, or multiple nozzle sizes, all while maintaining accuracy. Features like input shaping, automatic calibration of X/Y/Z offsets, and mechanical bed leveling eliminate the pain of dual-nozzle setups. No shims, no paper tricks — just one-button precision. Industrial environments demand more than print quality — they need reliability and control.

Excellent Safety Features

The 22 IDEX v4 includes filtration with HEPA and carbon recirculation, optional external fume extraction, Wi-Fi and Ethernet connectivity, touchscreen convenience, and full web-based management. Print, monitor, and adjust jobs remotely while maintaining chamber integrity. Lockable doors and lids add safety and security for labs, schools, and classified spaces. With bench and vehicle mounting points, the v4 can run in field environments or mobile print farms. It’s ruggedized for deployment and built to move. Whether bolted into a research vehicle, a defense lab, or a factory bench, it’s designed to survive and perform anywhere.

Reliability and Support

The 22 IDEX v4 bridges the gap between $100K industrial systems and consumer-grade hobby machines. It provides true high-temperature capability, industrial reliability, and scalability. Customers include the U.S. Department of Defense, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, the Hadron Collider, Caltech, Stanford, and research institutions worldwide. They choose Vision Miner because they can’t afford excuses — and because the machines simply perform. Vision Miner back every printer with real human support. Their U.S.-based team provides direct phone and email assistance, detailed online documentation, and serviceability by design. The v4 uses accessible, off-the-shelf components to minimize downtime and maximize independence. No proprietary locks, no forced material systems — just capability.
