With a price tag of less than half of most additive systems, the MDX-540 is a winner. Powered by a 400W spindle, the MDX-540 mills a wide variety of materials and popular engineered plastics such as ABS, Delrin and nylon. It can also mill non-ferrous prototypes and moulds made of aluminium, brass and copper, allowing engineers to create metal moulds for rapid injection moulding and EDM electrodes for production tooling. MDX-540 functional prototypes actually work. They perform like the final manufactured product and survive a range of physical tests, including thermal and structural trials.

The MDX-540’s Handy Panel and Virtual Control Panel simplify setup and operation, allowing the machine to be operated from a safe distance. The optional ATC (Automatic Tool Changer) further simplifies production, automatically changing up to four preset tools of different sizes.

The bundled SRP® Player CAM software automates the prototyping process, offering uniform 3D scaling, support for 4-axis milling and simulation of finished 3D parts. This coupled with the optional rotary axis, results in faster prototype production, fewer errors, tighter dimensional accuracies and a smooth surface finish.

When you buy an MDX-540 from Roland you get a precision prototyping tool. You also get the added peace of mind knowing that you will be supported every step of the way by Roland. When you purchase a machine from Roland, you are buying more than just a piece of equipment, you are buying a partnership.

Roland prides itself on its research and development. When a user buys a Roland machine, money is invested in not only the support and maintenance of that machine, it is invested in developing new technology which helps your business evolve.

Roland DG Academy in partnership with Walsall College offers a wide range of courses tailored to specific industry needs. These courses cater to a wide variety of training requirements from digital print tutoring and vehicle wrapping, to more niche skills like mastering the art of colour management to name but a few.

Perfect for training new and existing employees, or discovering new markets and applications, there is a Roland DG Academy course for everyone. The courses are designed for varying levels of knowledge and experience.

The Roland Technical Support team provides software, hardware and application support for the entire Roland range and consists of highly skilled engineers who are adept at problem solving and have a wealth of knowledge on Roland products and the industries the products are used in.

All members are comprehensively trained and provide phone, email and remote login support to ensure that your problem is solved as soon as is possible.

When technical support deems that a Roland Engineer is required, they will pass the necessary details on to the Service Team who will assign an engineer to visit according to your service level agreement. Much more than standard “parts & labour” service, RolandCare Service Agreement packages are designed to provide responsive, flexible and cost effective support to ensure the continuing success of your business.
