Vision Miner 22 IDEX v4 + your AI agent
Two independent heads and a queue that knows the difference. Your agent plans both.
Can an AI agent control the Vision Miner 22 IDEX v4?
Yes. Kiln connects through the machine's Duet interface. Kiln is the open-source layer that lets Claude, Codex, or any MCP-speaking agent design, slice, and print on it.
pip install kiln3dkiln install-mcpThe second command connects your agent — Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Codex, Cursor. The install guide covers the rest.
