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

ProtoX 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 ProtoX 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.

ProtoX 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 ProtoX'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 ProtoX 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

ProtoX 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.
