MDAC20-50 Track Robotic 3D Printing Cell

The MDAC20-50 Track is a large-format, high-throughput robotic 3D printing cell designed for oversized parts, molds, and production tooling. Built on the ABB IRB 6730 with a 6-meter linear track, and equipped with the MDPE50 pellet extruder, this system delivers unmatched material flow, expanded build area, and hybrid manufacturing flexibility.

Key Features

Extended Motion with 6m Linear Track
A rugged 6-meter linear rail dramatically extends the system’s work envelope, enabling continuous builds across larger formats or segmented part layouts in a single cycle.

Industrial ABB Robotics
Built on the ABB IRB 6730 6-axis industrial robot with a 210 kg payload and 3.1-meter vertical reach, offering the power and range needed for high-volume, high-precision work.

Ultra-High-Throughput MDPE50 Extruder
Capable of extruding up to 50 lbs of material per hour, the MDPE50 supports large nozzle diameters (6.0mm to 15.0mm), enabling fast, high-volume deposition with recycled, filled, and engineering-grade polymers.

Expansive Build Volume
Supports large-format parts with a build area of ~13.0 cubic meters, using a 15 ft x 3 ft heated build surface to ensure consistent adhesion and print quality.

Integrated Material Conveyance
Includes the MD Pellet Dryer and MDMCU (Material Conveyance Unit) for controlled, continuous pellet delivery throughout long prints.

Optional Milling Capability
Can be configured with a secondary toolhead for hybrid additive-subtractive manufacturing and integrated post-processing.

Remote Monitoring System
Features a built-in camera system for live supervision and time-lapse capture—ideal for tracking long or remote print jobs.

Industrial Safety System
Ships with a complete safety panel enclosure for operator protection and workplace compliance.
