Vision Miner Unveils Next-Generation 22 IDEX v4
Vision Miner, a U.S. manufacturer focused on high-temperature industrial 3D printing, today launched the 22 IDEX v4 — the latest evolution of its dual-extrusion high-temperature platform. With nearly four years of field deployment across defense labs, aerospace manufacturers, research institutions, and Fortune 500 companies, the V4 raises the bar for automated precision, material intelligence, and production dependability.
Built for high-performance polymers. Proven in mission-critical operations.
Supports ultra-polymers such as PEEK, PEKK, ULTEM, PPSU and advanced composites. Purpose-built for aerospace, defense, energy, and specialized industrial production — enabling flight-ready components, tooling, jigs, fixtures, rugged housings, and field-repair parts.
Key advancements
- Fully automated three-plane axis squaring and one-touch calibration
- Self-correcting linear motion and auto-belt-tensioning
- Production-optimized thermal architecture with integrated HEPA + carbon filtration
- Smart material profiles from deep R&D and field deployments
- Ruggedized chassis, industrial safety systems, ITAR-secure architecture
“The 22 IDEX v4 is the result of nearly a decade of specialization in high-temperature materials and thousands of hours of collaboration with defense, aerospace, and industrial users. The V4 empowers engineers to manufacture advanced polymer parts with confidence, accuracy, and repeatability — at a price point that brings mission-critical additive production to serious engineering teams.”
— Patrick Smith, Founder & CEO
