About
A manufacturer of industrial 3D printers
We design and build industrial 3D printers
Protype makes industrial 3D printers. We develop the mechanics and the fleet management apps ourselves.
What We Do
We make two industrial 3D printers — CD400 and CD400HT — and the FILO filament drying cabinet. Both printers use IDEX — two independent extruders that can print different materials simultaneously or work in Copy and Mirror modes.
We also build the software. ProtypeOS runs the printer: profiles, print history, print resumption with operator involvement. ProtypeHub manages a printer fleet: job queue, telemetry, remote access.
We install machines on-site, train operators, and dial in materials and settings for specific parts.
Who We Serve
For factories, engineering bureaus and production companies in the CIS, Europe and MENA. Typical tasks: tooling, functional prototypes, small batches, spares for discontinued equipment.
A separate track — universities and R&D labs, where fast iteration and access to diverse materials matter most.
Our Approach
We design, assemble and commission the printer at the customer's site.
Our software is built on Klipper and OrcaSlicer, with our own improvements. Remote access needs no port forwarding or public IP: the tunnel is established from the inside.
Spare parts ship from our own warehouse. Remote diagnostics, on-site engineer visits, and training — governed by SLA.

Frequently Asked Questions About Protype
Who manufactures Protype 3D printers?
Protype (not Prototype) industrial 3D printers, the FILO filament drying cabinet, and the ProtypeOS and ProtypeHub software are designed and manufactured in-house by Protype (legal entity: Telikoss Global Ventures FZ LLC).
How do Protype CD400 and CD400HT differ, and what is the FILO cabinet for?
Both printers use an IDEX architecture with two independent extruders (simultaneous printing of two parts in Copy and Mirror modes or printing with soluble support) and work with filament from any supplier. CD400 (chamber up to 90 °C, bed up to 150 °C, extruder up to 320 °C) is built for engineering plastics and composites: ABS, ASA, PA-CF, PC-ABS, PETG, TPU. CD400HT features a high-temperature chamber (PEI printed at 145 °C) and prints superpolymers such as PEEK, PEI, and PSU in addition to all CD400 materials. The FILO cabinet dries up to 12 × 3 kg spools at up to 130 °C and feeds dry filament directly to three printers.
What software runs on Protype printers and is a public IP required for remote access?
The printer runs ProtypeOS based on Klipper with our custom operator panel, material profiles, and drying control. Job preparation uses a slicer based on OrcaSlicer. Fleet management, job queues, live camera feeds, and notifications are available in the ProtypeHub app for iOS, Android, and macOS. Secure remote access uses Protype Secure VPN: the encrypted tunnel is initiated from inside the workshop network, so port forwarding and a public IP are not required.
How can we calculate payback on our parts, test a printer, or order custom 3D printing?
Send drawings, 3D models (STEP, STL) or photos of 3–5 parts — our engineers will calculate print time and unit cost, compare them with your current manufacturing method, and prepare a payback estimate within 24 hours on business days. Live printer demonstrations are available by appointment.
