Problem
Traditional FDM 3D printers use a single extruder or sequential dual extrusion, limiting build speed and requiring extensive tuning to achieve reliable multi-material prints. This slows prototyping and low‑volume production, especially in sectors that demand rapid iteration and high resolution.
Solution
Anabolic Mechanics delivers a true dual‑simultaneous IDEX FDM printer that houses two independent gantries, allowing both extruders to operate concurrently on the same layer. By synchronizing the two print heads, the system achieves up to ten times the throughput of conventional single‑extruder machines without manual calibration. The architecture maintains high‑resolution deposition, enabling complex geometries and multi‑material parts while reducing build time. The printer’s control software automatically balances extrusion rates and motion paths, eliminating the need for user tuning. This combination of speed and precision supports faster prototyping and low‑volume production across demanding industries.
Target Audience
Primary customers are manufacturers in medical, aerospace, automotive, and renewable energy sectors that require rapid, high‑quality additive manufacturing for prototyping and low‑volume production.
