Roland DG launches new VersaSTUDIO MPX-90S desktop metal printer

Roland DG Corporation announces the launch of MPX-90S—the newest addition to the VersaSTUDIO MPX series of metal printers. The system provides easy customisation of premium goods and accessories. It can also engrave photos on metal. The MPX series imprints text, graphics, and photos by striking metal or acrylic surfaces with a diamond-tipped stylus at high speed. Since the first MPX model was launched in 2000, the system has been used in a wide range of fields, from the production of personalised items such as gifts and accessories, to industrial applications such as imprinting product nameplates, and medical applications such as permanently marking 2D barcodes on medical instruments.

Newly launched MPX-90S supports a maximum print area of 80 x 80 mm. It can print on hard metals such as brass, stainless steel, and titanium; precious metals such as gold, silver, and platinum; resin-based materials such as acrylic; and materials with special surface finishes such as hairline, grainy, or alumite. The printing process of MPX-90S is simple and easy enough for anyone to use. Photos taken with a smartphone or text and illustrations created with commercially available design software can be loaded into the included Roland METAZAStudio software for simple editing tasks such as removing backgrounds or combining photos and text. Then, simply load the material into the device and print.
