The Future of
Manufacturing
is Scalable.
Scale your production with a single, modular cell that unlocks diverse manufacturing methods and is rigorously validated for aerospace, automotive, medical, and defense.
CES 2026 · Las Vegas
CES® Best of Innovation Winner
Recognized for breakthrough technology in Supply & Logistics — the highest honor CES bestows, reserved for the top-rated product in each category.
One Cell,
Every Capability
Watch EVO switch between additive and subtractive processes in a single session — no retooling, no downtime, no compromise.
One Unit,
Every Process
EVO is not just a 3D printer. It's a modular production cell that can encompass multiple specialty manufacturing cells — validated across aerospace, automotive, medical, defense, among other verticals.
Full Platform Overview
Multi-Modal in One Cell
FFF, milling, pellet extrusion, and more — on a single chassis. Switch production modes in the same session without moving to another machine.
30+ Validated Materials
From standard engineering polymers to titanium and Inconel alloys. One platform, the full materials spectrum.
Fits Through a Standard Door
Deploy into a cleanroom, lab, or production floor without structural modifications. The cell comes to the work.
Iterate, Validate, Produce
Eliminate months of tooling lead time. Reconfigure in hours and run production-grade parts the same day.
The Old Way vs. EVO
- —Fixed production lines — expensive to reconfigure
- —Multiple machines, multiple vendors, multiple failure points
- —Months of lead time for tooling changes
- —Requires 10,000+ sq. ft. floor space
- —Capital-intensive with rigid ROI timelines
- —No on-demand iteration capability
- →Single modular cell — reconfigure in hours, not months
- →FFF, milling, pellet extrusion in one unit
- →Tool-swap validated for same-session material changes
- →Fits through a standard door frame
- →De-risks innovation at the unit level
- →Iterate, validate, produce — on demand
Past. Present. Future.

DUO
The Proof of Concept
Where it began. The dual-toolhead architecture that validated IDEX technology in real production environments and set the foundation for everything that followed.
EVO
The Single-Cell Platform
Multi-modal manufacturing in a single modular unit. FFF, milling, and pellet extrusion. Materials from standard plastics to titanium and Inconel. Ships through a standard door.
