Roland Pros
Carl Schneider, Aarhus, Denmark
For years, Industrial Design (ID) students at the Aarhus School of Architecture have had to drill, cut and polish their ideas into models. For smaller models, this craft has always been both difficult and dangerous. To lower the risk of accidents and to produce more accurate models, the school recently installed a Roland MDX-540 high-end milling solution.

Any way you look at it - the MDX-540 Subtractive Rapid Prototyping (SRP) System is a winner. One of the fastest and most accurate milling machines on the market, the MDX-540 has a price tag that is less than half the cost of most additive systems. A 3 or 4-axis desktop CNC device, the MDX-540 is complete with powerful CAM software that quickly and easily produces everything from functional and snap-fit parts and prototypes to light metal molds and custom jewelry.
