SRM-20 MonoFab Compact Milling Machine

Fine Detail and Smooth Finish

SRM-20 can bring shape to virtually any idea that springs to mind. With the SRM-20 3D milling machine, 3D data can be shaped into solid objects with exceptional precision. Capable of milling a wide range of materials, the SRM-20 is invaluable for industrial design prototypes, industrial parts, educational tools, and other applications using materials similar to the final version.

Surface Finish

Traditional methods of rapid prototyping involve hand crafting wax, clay, and other soft materials. These methods rely on the steady hand of a craft-person and can lead to imperfections or limitations based on the choice of material.

Similarly, emerging methods of digital production, such as 3D printing, may be able to replicate an exact material, but the method can be cost-prohibitive compared to the benefit/performance ratio of the SRM-20 – lower priced technologies can yield clunky prototypes, while high performance production can dramatically increase your cost structure and use complicated software workflows.

Machine Resolution

SRM-20 uses superior motion control firmware to calibrate in 3D space. This eliminates the need for heavy, granite or steel bases to stabilize the machine.

Truly Functional Prototypes

Proprietary Materials?

Many Rapid Prototyping technologies require the use of specific materials that can be manipulated by the unique technology of the solution. SRM-20 can create functional prototypes out of the final material of the product, bypassing multiple phases of the prototyping process.

What is a "Functional" Prototype?

Many prototypes for products are built using foam, wax, and paper-based materials to simulate 'Proof of Concept'.

SRM-20 leverages the power of Computer Aided Design (CAD) to bypass the Creative phase and move directly to working prototype in the final usable material with all of the characteristics of the final product: movement, buttons, latches, etc.

Materials

The following items are just some of the materials that can be milled with the SRM-20:

• ABS
• POM
• Nylon Plastic Foam
• Modeling Wax
• Chemical Wood
• PVC
• Acetal

As a Subtractive, rather than Additive, 3D machine; the SRM-20 Rapid Prototype Machine supports a variety of non-proprietary materials. The following items are just some of the prototypes and applications that are possible with this versatile device:

• Snap-fit parts
• Moulds for casting
• Toys and games
• Product prototypes
• Jewellery and accessories
• Furnishings and decorations
• Electrical parts and casings
• Relief signs and graphics

User Friendly and Intuitive

The SRM-20 is designed for entry level users to introduce them to the concepts of Computer Aided Manufacturing. There is no advanced Control Panel or complex adjustments necessary.

The machine has a single power button and a single milling tool. Everything else is controlled through software. the bundled VPanel software controls all essential machine function and displays all relevant machine data.

Simplified Machine Setup

The SRM-20 reduces the time and effort of machine set-up with a complete software-controlled user interface.

Safe, Clean, and Convenient Production

The SRM-20 is designed for use in studio and educational environments. A newly improved acrylic cover protects the user from flying debris, making it perfect for offices and schools.

Additional Features

SRM-20 has a built-in interface to allow for Arduino boards to be installed. This open architecture capability is the essence of Roland DG's philosophy known as Monozukuri!

Install your board and program your SRM-20 to complete customized tasks for production of your favorite items.

Bundled Software

SRM-20 comes packed with features to make your journey into Computer Aided Manufacturing (CAM) easy and efficient.

SRP Player CAM

This popular Industry and Education software has been updated to get the most out of your SRM-20. Milling settings can be configured in five simple steps, making operation straightforward even for those new to milling.

ClickMill

ClickMill Software provides direct control of the SRM-20 for surfacing, drilling holes, cutting pockets and other finishing processes, all without having to access CAD or CAM software.

G Code Support

The SRM-20 supports G-code NC programming language, making it well suited for both professional and educational applications.

Virtual Control Panel (VPanel)

VPanel serves as a computer-based virtual panel with all of the functionality of the physical on-board control panel, as well as tool life management and e-mail alerts. All from your PC.
