With INDX now shipping, we want to gently remind the cheap knock-offs surfacing on the market that INDX was invented by Bondtech and is protected by both pending applications and granted patents, with three separate patent families covering: i) a longitudinal opening in the toolhead and auto-separating feeding wheels, allowing the nozzle to be swapped with the filament still inside to completely eliminate the need for purging; ii) the selective picking of passive nozzles from a rack and using contactless temperature regulation of the passive nozzle; and iii) a pivotable feeding-wheel mechanism that dynamically scales the gripping force on the filament in direct response to feeding resistance. We kindly ask the community to support original innovation by not promoting or purchasing any unauthorized copies. Because we are committed to protecting our R&D and our partners, our lawyers stand ready to commence enforcement the moment copycat products hit the market. This means that copycat products may face sudden sales or import restrictions, potentially leaving buyers without product, support, updates, or replacement parts. We would hate to see anyone in the community left out of pocket or with unusable hardware, so please do think twice before backing a copycat.
