LOOP 3D, a Turkish industrial 3D printer manufacturer, has introduced the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO, a high-speed material extrusion 3D printer designed to enhance the production of durable, end-use components.
This model stands out for its ability to produce functional, high-quality, and aesthetically pleasing components using LOOP 3D’s DYNAMIDE industrial-grade composite filaments. By combining speed, precision, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness, the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO delivers a scalable solution for a wide range of industries, including automotive, engineering, construction, aerospace, and product design.
The launch marks a key development for LOOP 3D, following its expansion into the UK with a new headquarters in Milton Keynes, after establishing its European base in Poland.
Key Features: LOOP PRO X+ TURBO
A standout feature of the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO is its speed, operating up to five times faster than previous models. This enables the production of large, complex parts in just one to two days, significantly enhancing manufacturing efficiency. The printer ensures high-strength output by utilizing advanced composite filaments, designed to withstand high temperatures and offer long-term durability. It also minimizes vibrations to maintain dimensional accuracy and a consistent surface finish, making it ideal for industries that require precision.
The LOOP PRO X+ TURBO also features a modular design, which reduces the need for technical support and promotes reliable operation over time. Its smart filament detection system switches to a backup spool when material runs low, preventing production delays or incomplete prints. The printer supports a variety of materials, including DYNAMIDE GF for end-use parts, DYNAMIDE BREAKAWAY for easy support removal, and DYNAMIDE ASA for UV-resistant outdoor applications.
The printer also incorporates the LOOP 3D Core+, which allows users to control the motor drivers and board, while LOOP 3D Connect serves as the brain of the system, offering cloud connectivity, an intuitive user interface, and touchscreen controls.

Industry Adoption: Real-World Applications
Hidromek, Turkish construction machinery manufacturer, became the first major adopter of the LOOP PRO X+ TURBO. After transitioning from the Stratasys Fortus 900mc for large-scale prototyping in 2021, Hidromek began utilizing two LOOP PRO X printers and DYNAMIDE GF materials for functional testing and end-use parts. Following its success, the company expanded its 3D printing capacity by installing five LOOP PRO X+ TURBO printers, increasing output by 2500%.This upgrade allows Hidromek to continuously produce large parts within one to two days, further streamlining production with DYNAMIDE GF, DYNAMIDE BREAKAWAY, and DYNAMIDE ASA materials.
LOOP 3D also solidified its presence in the UK, with Jaguar Land Rover, British luxury vehicle manufacturer, showcasing parts printed using the LOOP PRO X series during its AM Center open days. This demonstration highlighted the printer’s capability to produce durable, high-precision components.
LOOP 3D’s Offerings Over the Years
Founded in 2010 as a spin-off from the Turkish 3D printing bureau Teknodizayn, LOOP 3D’s mission centers around addressing the high costs and quality issues of many existing industrial 3D printers, which create barriers for potential users and drive them toward service providers instead of in-house manufacturing solutions.
The first beta version of the LOOP PRO 3D printer was produced in 2017, undergoing multiple iterations of improvement before its final version was introduced at the Formnext 2019 trade fair in Frankfurt. In 2021, LOOP 3D further expanded its portfolio with the LOOP PRO X, which featured a modular design for improved maintenance. The system could be linked together and remotely managed through LOOP 3D’s CLOUD software, enabling users in industries such as automotive, healthcare, and aerospace to efficiently scale up production.
