Overview

Introducing the UltiMaker Method X 3D Printer - Carbon Fiber Edition

The UltiMaker Method X is a high performance, tinker-free 3D printer designed to handle the most complex 3D printing needs. Featuring a 110°C heated chamber, the Method X prints a wide range of complex and durable ABS parts and other material types. Delivering un-compromised performance right out-of-the-box, the Method X prints 2x faster than leading desktop printers and offers a seamless CAD to Part workflow.

UltiMaker Method X Carbon Fiber Edition lets users print with carbon fiber reinforced nylon and other engineering-grade composite materials, with three dimensional strength and accuracy like never before.

Superior Nylon Carbon Fiber Parts with Method X

Method X unique industrial feature set produces carbon fiber parts with superior three dimensional strength and accuracy.

Method X's heated chamber delivers parts that are strong and accurate.
Outstanding surface finish that hides layer lines thanks to Method X Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame.
Print the most complex geometries including internal cavities with soluble support, or use breakaway support for faster print times.
Method X has sealed filament bays to help keep the material dry, resulting in better print quality and reliability, and Method X's pre-print spool drying feature allows for the recovery of over-saturated filament.

Strong, Heat-Resistant Metal Replacement Parts

Method X is a Next-Generation desktop 3D printing platform that delivers manufacturing-grade parts with advanced engineering materials.

Carbon fiber reinforced nylon is optimized for high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance making it ideal for structural applications, manufacturing tools, and metal end use and replacement parts.

- Excellent strength to weight ratio - 110 MPa TS - for lightweighting applications such as robotic end effectors
- Engineering-grade stiffness - 7600 MPa Tensile Modulus - for structural applications such as vehicular brackets and inspection gauges
- High heat resistance under load - 184°C HDT - for optimal under-hood and tooling applications

Why Choose Method X?

Developed from the ground up leveraging industry-leading Stratasys® patents, Method X perfect for manufacturing tools, end-user parts and functional prototypes. Method X features include:

Dual performance extruders
Dry-sealed material bays: Nylon is extremely hygroscopic, maintain the
integrity of your spool
Breakaway support for speed
110°C circulated heated build chamber
Superior strength and accuracy on all axes
Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame
Wifi Connectivity and 21 on-board sensors
Remote monitoring and printing
25 Compatible CAD file types
5" Full-color capacitive touch screen
Over 300,000 hours of reliability testing
3 Support Options
Stratasys SR-30 dissolvable support material compatibility for geometric freedom

Method vs. Method X

The UltiMaker Method has an active build chamber that can heat up to 60C, while the Method X can heat up to 110C. The result is that you can use a wider variety of materials in the Method X.
