Roland Modela Pro II

The Roland is a 4-Axis CNC-Mill, which is based on a Substractive Rapid Prototyping (SRP) Technology. With this technology forms can be milled out of a massive block which rotates around a axis of rotation. In addition, an automatic tool changer allows seamless processing with different tools.

The machine in the DDL is a "Roland Modela Pro II MDX-540 ATC".

The usable workspace measurements are:

  • 3-Axis-Handling: 280 mm x 400 mm x 150 mm
  • 4-Axis-Handling: 280 mm x 150 mm x 150 mm

  • Solid Wood
  • Hard Foam
  • Hard Plastic

For milling withe the Roland you need a .stl-file (stereographic). The unit has to be mm. Perhaps bridges will be needed to keep the object in the axis of rotation.

For more questions feel free to ask the DDL-Staff.

The machine is being operated only by DDL staff (rp@ai.ar.tum.de). Hence, you always need an appointment for Roland-projects. You have to make an appointment at least a week before your planned processing date.

For making an appointment you need:

  • File for joint review with a DDL-Staff
  • Informations about the project: material and amount
  • Client Details: student number, name and address

The final files must be reviewed by the DDL-Staff at least one day before the appointment.

For more informations don't hesitate to contact us during our opening hours (rp@ai.ar.tum.de).

The tools for routing and cutting  are available at the vending machine. We'll tell you which tool is required. For special cases, we provide other precision tools and bill only part of the tool costs.

Attention!

The processing is being executed at the client's risk!

We are not liable for any damage to material or tools!

We do not replace damaged material, even if the damage can be attributed to the operator's fault!
