LOOP 3D launches LOOP PRO X+ TURBO Gen2 industrial 3D printer for fiber-reinforced polyamides into series production

LOOP 3D Additive Manufacturing has officially released the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO Gen2, an upgraded industrial FDM/FFF system engineered for high-volume series production. The hardware features a servomotor-driven H-Bot architecture, reinforced motion mechanics, and a high-throughput print head designed for rapid material deposition. A key technical focus of this second-generation platform is the processing of fiber-reinforced polyamides, specifically from the company's proprietary DYNAMIDE family, including DYNAMIDE GF. The system is designed to integrate with Vapour Smoothing processes to produce sealed, water-resistant surfaces for functional end-use parts without secondary coating requirements.

This release targets the gap between rapid prototyping and full-scale industrial manufacturing by prioritizing repeatability and dimensional stability in large-format components. By utilizing a lightweight kinematic design and integrated filament monitoring, LOOP 3D aims to maintain tight tolerances even during high-speed batch jobs. The company is positioning this hardware to compete in the functional end-use market, where high stiffness-to-weight ratios are critical, such as in the aerospace and drone sectors. The ability to produce a small drone fuselage every 30 minutes, as demonstrated at the upcoming MACH 2026 exhibition in Birmingham, underscores the shift toward high-cadence additive workflows.

For industrial users, the success of the Gen2 platform will depend on the long-term consistency of the DYNAMIDE material properties across large production batches. The integration of Vapour Smoothing into the workflow is a practical step toward reducing post-processing bottlenecks in the production chain. Buyers should evaluate the total cost of ownership regarding the specialized filament management and the throughput gains offered by the new H-Bot kinematics compared to standard Cartesian systems.
