Modix 3D printers are designed for future upgrades and new technologies. When a new version is released, an upgrade is offered to our customers.
As creators, we believe that products should be designed to serve for long period of time, not to be replaced when a new model is coming out.
Why a Large 3D Printer?
Printing large models as one object makes them stronger and saves time on post processing. Use cases include
- Customized large enclosures
- Manufacturing jigs
- Prototyping
- Cast molds
- Composite plugs
- Batch production - Modix 3D printers are capable of printing multiple small items in a single sequenced 3D print job.

Generation 4 - What's new?
Generation 4 widens Modix’s offering by introducing new capabilities such as printing models with internal geometries, faster printing speed, reduced post process time and higher reliability. With generation 4, all Modix printers are now shipped with the new Griffin print head, clog and crash detectors.
Griffin Print Head
Griffin print head offers high printing quality, impact resist, easy swap and higher printing temperatures than before.
Clog Detection
Reliability sensors suite that is designed to save print-jobs on time. It can detect filament run-out, under extrusion and clogs.
Auto Z Offset Calibration Tool
Comprehensive set of automatic calibration tools including: bed tilt calibration, bed leveling, gantry alignment and Z offset calibration.
