MAKERBOT METHOD
THE FIRST PERFORMANCE 3D PRINTER
Developed from the ground up by improving upon several patented industrial technologies from Stratasys® — technologies that empowered the DNA of an industrial 3D printer from the onset. Combined with MakerBot’s industry-leading accessibility and smart workflow features, Method screams past desktop 3D printers while ensuring dimensional accuracy and industrial 3D printer reliability.
Key Features
CIRCULATING HEATED CHAMBER
Controls the heat of every layer as it’s printed to provide dimensional accuracy, improved layer adhesion, and greater part strength.
DUAL PERFORMANCE EXTRUDERS
Featuring lengthened thermal cores, optimised torque, and an industry-leading sensor suite, Performance Extruders maximise material flow rate at high speeds while providing consistent and reliable extrusion across every layer.
PRECISION DISSOLVING PVA SUPPORTS
Precision Dissolving PVA enables fast and easy support removal without compromising part design or dimensional accuracy.
ULTRA-RIGID METAL FRAME CONSTRUCTION
A structurally-optimised metal frame runs the full length of the body to offset flexing. Less flexing means more consistent prints with better part accuracy and fewer failures.
SMART SENSORS + CONNECTIVITY
A network of 21 intelligent sensors embedded throughout the printer gives you full control while making material and print management easy and accessible.
