LOOP 3D launches LOOP PRO X+ TURBO for ultra fast, durable end-use parts
Hidromek installs 5 new machines as the company opens UK HQ in Milton Keynes (and works with JLR)
LOOP 3D has introduced the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO, a high-speed material extrusion 3D printer designed to produce durable end-use parts with remarkable efficiency. This launch follows the company’s expansion into the UK with a new Milton Keynes headquarters after establishing its European HQ in Poland.
The new LOOP PRO X+ TURBO stands out for its ability to create high-quality, functional, and visually appealing parts using DYNAMIDE industrial-grade composite filaments. LOOP 3D’s goal is to offer a superior price-performance ratio, delivering advanced technology at a fraction of the cost, making it an attractive option for businesses looking for reliable and cost-effective 3D printing solutions.
One of the key advantages of the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO is its speed, operating five times faster than older generation printers. This means large, complex parts can now be completed overnight or within one to two days, significantly enhancing productivity. The printer ensures high-strength output, utilizing advanced composite filaments that withstand high temperatures and maintain durability over time. Dimensional accuracy is another crucial feature, as the system minimizes vibrations and offers a superior surface finish, making it ideal for industries that demand engineering-grade precision.
In addition to its speed and accuracy, the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO is designed with user convenience in mind. Its modular build reduces the need for on-site technical service, allowing for seamless long-term use with minimal maintenance. A smart filament detection system further enhances reliability by automatically switching to a backup spool when material runs low, preventing incomplete prints and saving valuable time. The printer supports various high-performance materials, including DYNAMIDE GF for end-use parts requiring strength, DYNAMIDE BREAKAWAY for effortless support removal, and DYNAMIDE ASA, which offers UV resistance for outdoor applications.
LOOP 3D has quickly gained traction in the UK market, particularly through its collaboration with Jaguar Land Rover. The automotive giant showcased parts printed with the LOOP PRO X 3D printers at its AM Center open days, highlighting the machines’ capability to deliver precise, durable components for manufacturing applications.
A major LOOP PRO X+ TURBO first-adopter is Hidromek, a leading construction machinery manufacturer. Nearly a decade ago, Hidromek relied on the Stratasys Fortus 900mc machine for large-scale prototyping, using ASA material. In 2021, the company invested in two LOOP PRO X printers and switched to DYNAMIDE GF materials for functional tests and end-use parts.
After this first successful implementation, Hidromek expanded its capabilities by installing five LOOP PRO X+ TURBO machines, upgrading its previous models, and significantly increasing its 3D printing capacity by 2500%. The improved efficiency means that most large parts can now be produced within one or two days, allowing the company to operate machines around the clock. The adoption of LOOP PRO X+ TURBO has enabled Hidromek to streamline its production, using a combination of DYNAMIDE GF for end-use parts, DYNAMIDE BREAKAWAY for support structures, and DYNAMIDE ASA for general prototyping requiring UV resistance.
The LOOP PRO X+ TURBO is presented as an excellent choice for businesses and professionals in industries such as automotive, engineering, construction, product design, and aerospace. With its combination of advanced technology, smart automation, and cost-effectiveness, the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO represents an ideal solutions for industrial 3D printing applications, catering to the increasing demand for high-performance, production-ready additive manufacturing.
