Overview

Introducing UltiMaker Method X

Developed from the ground up leveraging industry-leading Stratasys® patents, Method X features high quality components like a heated build chamber, precision dissolvable supports, and dry-sealed material bays. Perfect for manufacturing tools, end-user parts and functional prototypes. Method X delivers maximum innovation with minimal investment.

Method X Features

Print complex and durable ABS parts with a 110°C heated chamber for end-use assemblies and manufacturing tools.
MakerBot ABS for Method is capable of withstanding 15°C higher temperatures, is 26% more rigid, and 12% stronger than modified desktop 3D printer ABS material formulations.

Dual performance extruders
Dry-sealed material bays
110°C circulated heated build chamber
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

UltiMaker ABS for Method X

Print real, production-grade ABS at 110°C with no warping or cracking supported by Stratasys® SR-30 soluble material for unlimited geometric freedom.

ABS Precision Model Material
Heat Deflection Temperature (HDT B)	84°C (15°C higher than desktop 3D printer ABS)*
Tensile Modulus	2400 MPa (26% higher than desktop 3D printer ABS)*
Tensile Strength	43 MPa (12% higher than desktop 3D printer ABS)*

* Based on internal testing of injection molded specimens of Method X ABS compared to ABS from a leading desktop 3D printer competitor.

Manufacturing Tools

Create durable, real ABS parts for the production floor. Print dimensionally accurate jigs, fixtures, and end-effectors that fit seamlessly with existing components.

End Use Parts

Get dimensionally accurate, production-grade, real ABS end-use parts at a fraction of traditional manufacturing costs. Method reduces costs and saves time for small production manufacturing runs.

Functional Prototypes

Prototype with production-grade ABS to achieve part properties close to injection molded parts. Print dimensionally accurate assemblies and validate your designs to get your products to market faster—all at a fraction of industrial 3D printing costs.

Extruder Compatibility

Model 1XA (included - for high-temp materials)
