MakerBot Method and Method X 3D Printers
Developed from the ground up by combining several patented industrial technologies from Stratasys – the worldwide leader in industrial 3D printing – with MakerBot’s industry-leading accessibility and smart workflow features, Method and Method X scream past desktop 3D printers while ensuring dimensional accuracy and industrial 3D printing reliability.
Description
Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame Construction
A structurally-optimized metal frame runs the full length of the body to offset flexing – meaning more consistent prints with better part accuracy and fewer failures.
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
Maximize material flow rate at high speeds while providing consistent and reliable extrusion across every layer.
Precision Dissolving PVA Supports
Enables fast and easy support removal without compromising part design or dimensional accuracy.
Dry-Sealed Material Bays
Forms a near-perfect seal to keep material free of damaging humidity. Built-in sensors provide that your material is stored in its optimal environment.
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.
