MakerBot Method introduces an entirely new category of 3D Printing defined by INDUSTRIAL RELIABILITY + PRECISION, FASTEST CAD-TO-PART, and MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE + MINIMAL INVESTMENT. We call it Performance 3D Printing.
INDUSTRIAL RELIABILITY + PRECISION: Consistent print results that match design dimensions.
- Circulating Heated Chamber
- Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame
- Dry-Sealed Material Bays
- Dual Performance Extruders (with tech borrowed from SSYS patents)
- Precision PVA Dissolvable Supports
FASTEST CAD TO PART: Up to 2x faster than desktop 3D printers*
- Save days or weeks over conventional outsourcing- Additive Manufacturing, CNC, etc.
- Enables seamless printing without tinkering.
MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE + MINIMAL INVESTMENT: About the first-year cost of ownership of an entry-level industrial 3D printer with no technician required.
- Accelerate product development
- Ensure parts are how you want them before sending out for 3rd party production
- Provide designers direct access to 3D printing so they reach decisions faster
- Easy deployment and operation at the enterprise level
- Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
- Reclaim development time with MakerBot no-hassle 3D printing platform
*Based on internal print speed testing compared to popular desktop 3D printers when using the same layer height and infill density settings. Dependent upon object geometry.
