Edge-to-edge dual extrusion
3D print with confidence across every millimeter of the 330 x 240 mm flexible build plate. And quickly remove parts thanks to the PEI coating.
Tested for accuracy
UltiMaker offers verified dimensional accuracy within ±0.2 mm or ±0.2% of the nominal length across the full printer build volume. This precision is achieved using materials like PPS CF, PET CF, Tough PLA, and PETG, ensuring reliable results for all your 3D printing needs.
Accelerated design freedom
Leverage the full power of additive manufacturing with fast dual printing capabilities for complex geometries and multi-material parts.
The combination of the all-new H-bridge gantry and direct drive extrusion print head in the UltiMaker Factor 4 allows for high-speed movement and positional accuracy of ± 0.2 mm or ± 0.2 % of the feature’s nominal length with UltiMaker Verified Materials. This results in best-in-class dual material printing speeds so that you can quickly create the flexible or strong parts you need.
A new, integrated, automatic material handling system reliably manages your spools so you don’t have to. The internal chamber is kept at less than 10 % relative humidity in office conditions, so you can keep up to 6 kilograms of filament in perfect condition for back-to-back print jobs.
The UltiMaker Factor 4 can reach temperatures up to 340°C with the HT print core, allowing you to confidently 3D print high-temperature-resistant and durable materials. The fully enclosed build volume is also temperature controlled up to 70°C, and the heated bed can reach 120°C. This ensures optimal processing conditions for different materials and consistent part quality, no matter where the 3D printer is located.
UltiMaker Cura and Digital Factory work together with Factor 4 and UltiMaker materials to provide an easy, secure, and reliable workflow - from 3D model to printed part.
UltiMaker’s software leads the additive manufacturing industry with its powerful slicing engine. A variety of file types including native CAD files can be directly imported and quickly sliced with pre-tuned application intent profiles. Cura also features:
After every print job, receive an in-depth report on extrusion parameters deviations from nominal values, their locations, and their severity in the 3D model. Using a suite of sensors in the Factor 4's print head, build chamber, and material loading system, this print process reporting helps to verify and validate part quality before use in the field.
With shared workspaces, assigned roles, and file management using the digital library, coordinating your printing schedule is simple. The live HD camera feed on every Factor 4 combined with progress and status updates makes it trivial to handle multiple prints on multiple printers with zero downtime. Digital Factory also includes:
UltiMaker Factor 4 was designed to be modular. This means less production downtime in the event that a part of the printer needs servicing. Under the UltiMaker Factor 4 service plans, an expert technician anywhere in the world will be able to quickly swap the faulty part out for another so you can get up and running again as quickly as possible.
UltiMaker print cores feature a quick-swap design and EEPROM chip. They are recognized by Cura and can be quickly changed without tools to meet the requirements of any print job, increasing your efficiency and decreasing downtime.

Nothing will impact your 3D printing results like the kind of filament you use. Good filament is highly consistent in diameter, is wound evenly onto the spool with just the right amount of tension, and will not tangle when being unwound. 3D Universe offers a wide range of high-quality filaments to choose from. We provide a 100% satisfaction guarantee on all filament we sell. If you have any problems, just send back the unused portion of the spool for a full refund. Check out our filament collection...
