Material Development Kit +
The MDK+ is a miniaturized build platform designed to fit seamlessly inside your Raplas printer’s vat.
What is it
The MDK+ is a miniaturized build platform designed to fit seamlessly inside your Raplas printer’s vat. Simple to install, it features its own platform and recoater, and is fully compatible with our Integra+ software.
Enjoy the same precision, laser, scanner, and drive systems as our full-size printers – now scaled for smarter, cost-effective resin testing and small part building.
Best suited for
- Saving time and money testing resin suitability
- Application-specific part development
- Process validation and pilot production
Overview
Resins can be expensive. Traditional vats hold 100+ litres – a costly commitment when you’re just testing new materials or building small parts. That’s why we have created MDK+, a compact, high-performance build system with a 10-litre resin capacity that allows you to build small parts, experiment, iterate, and innovate – and all the while designed to save you money.
Whether you are refining a new material system or delivering application-ready parts, MDK+ provides a robust base for dependable additive manufacturing.
Key benefits
- High-resolution part production with dependable repeatability
- Open, development-friendly workflow for material exploration and optimisation
- Built for technical teams that need precision, control, and practical throughput
Why MDK+
Built to integrate directly within your Raplas printer, MDK+ includes its own platform and recoater and works seamlessly with Integra+ software. You get the same precision, laser, and motion systems as full-scale machines, but in a more efficient format designed for material development and small-part production.
Why teams choose it
- Precise printing for complex geometries
- Consistent output for testing, iteration, and qualification
- Flexible workflow for evolving applications and materials
