Proto X: Industrial-Scale 3D Printer for High-Volume Jewelry Production

Proto X is the largest printer in the Protospeed range, built as an industrial workhorse for high-volume jewelry manufacturers, casting houses, and production facilities. With a 230 × 129 × 200 mm build platform, it can print multiple full casting trees, large bangles, chain platforms, and signet collections in a single job — making it the right machine for factories prioritizing throughput per print cycle.

The Proto X has a 230 × 129 × 200 mm build volume, with a full 200 mm Z-axis. This is large enough to fit multiple full-height jewelry casting trees on a single platform, dramatically reducing the number of print cycles needed for daily production. Exact tree count depends on tree diameter and pattern density, but most production setups fit 4 or more standard trees per job.

Proto X has the largest build platform of the three (230 × 129 × 200 mm vs Rapid's 190 × 107 × 200 mm and Magnus's 134 × 75 × 112 mm), making it the choice for the highest-volume production. All three printers share the same DLP technology, 405 nm light engine, Protospeed Composing software, and Protoresins compatibility, so workflows scale up cleanly between models. ProtoX has a 60 µm pixel size, optimised for production throughput rather than the ultra-fine micro-detail offered by the Rapid V2 (40 µm) or Magnus V2 (41 µm).

Yes — this is one of the Proto X's defining strengths. The 200 mm Z-axis combined with the wide 230 × 129 mm platform allows full-height casting trees, complete 200 mm glass bangles, large bracelet segments, and large signet collections to be printed in single runs without splitting designs into multiple jobs.

The Proto X is built around Protospeed's Protoresins range — high-wax-content castable resins formulated for clean burnout during investment casting of gold, silver, and platinum. Other 405 nm jewelry-grade resins can be used, but print profiles are tuned and supported specifically for Protoresins formulations. For high-volume production, Protoresins typically delivers the best balance of burnout cleanliness, gauge accuracy, and surface finish

Proto X pricing varies by country due to import duties and local taxes — request a quote through your nearest Protospeed reseller, or contact Protospeed directly for territories without a local reseller (Protospeed ships internationally via DHL with remote after-sales support). Each ProtoX bundle includes the printer, Protospeed Composing slicing and support software, 1 kg of castable resin, and one long-life resin tank.
