STRATEO3D IDEX420:
Compact, Fast, and Versatile

WHAT SETS IT APART

  • Independent dual extrusion → duplication, mirror, or dual-material printing.
  • Production speed doubled thanks to two independent print heads.
  • Generous build volume for a compact machine: 420 × 320 × 400 mm.
  • Heated enclosure up to 60°C → printing technical materials.
  • Removable magnetic print bed → uninterrupted production.
  • Highly connected via Stratocontrol3D + integrated webcam.

     

KEY ADVANTAGES

  • Excellent productivity in a small footprint.
  • Ideal for repetitive part series.
  • Unbeatable quality/price ratio in its category.
  • Ergonomic use with touchscreen and remote monitoring.
  • Wide material compatibility (PLA to Nylon, PC-ABS, ASA-X, TPU…).

     

IDEAL USE CASES

✔ Functional prototyping
✔ Small and medium production runs
✔ Light tooling / jigs / fixtures
✔ Thermoplastic technical parts in a controlled environment
✔ Duplication printing (x2) to double production speed

STRATEO3D DUAL600 SERIES 2:
HIGH PERFORMANCE AND LARGE VOLUME

WHAT SETS IT APART

  • XXL volume : 600 × 420 × 500 mm (126 L)

  • Extrusion rate up to 150 g/h → ideal for large parts

  • Print Shield 3D technology :

    • self-diagnosis

    • defect prevention

    • print recovery in case of power outage

  • Heated enclosure up to 70°C → controlled printing of sensitive materials

  • Extrusion temperature up to 500°C

  • Tempered glass bed or BedFix coating

  • Integrated computing power (Intel i5) for advanced management

     

KEY ADVANTAGES

  • Printing very large parts without assembly

  • Unmatched extrusion rate to reduce printing time

  • Maximum reliability with Print Shield 3D

  • Remarkable precision despite the large volume

  • Compatibility with demanding materials (PC-ABS, PA66, ASA-X…)

     

IDEAL USE CASES

✔ Large or technical parts
✔ Industrial tooling, molds, jigs
✔ Large-scale prototyping
✔ Production of robust parts requiring high cohesion
✔ Need for advanced reliability on long prints (Print Shield)
