Metal 3D Printing on the METHOD Platform
MAKERBOT METHOD
Industrial 3D Printing, Desktop Accessibility
Print metals, polymers, and composites all on one machine leveraging the most advanced features available on a desktop 3D printer.
LABS GEN 2
Experimental Extruder
The LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder allows you to print more abrasive 3rd-party composites and metals for longer thanks to hardened-steel components.
MATERIAL
BASF ULTRAFUSE 316L | Stainless Steel
BASF Ultrafuse 316L Stainless Steel parts combine the next level strength, rigidity, and durability needed for end-use parts and manufacturing tools.

METAL 3D PRINTING PROCESS
Launch your print from anywhere via MakerBot CloudPrint to your personal or team-shared METHOD 3D printer equipped with a LABS GEN 2 Extruder and BASF Ultrafuse 316L material.
Send in your green part
Once your “Green” part is complete, send it in to your sintering service provider such as Matterhackers where parts are debinded and sintered in a high heat, pure hydrogen atmosphere resulting in pure 316L Stainless Steel.
Receive solid metal part
You receive the solid steel part in as little as 5 days - up to half the time and ⅕ the cost of a typical 3D printing service bureau. Install the part as needed or incorporate with other printed parts in MakerBot composites and polymers for a more dynamic assembly.

Metal 3D Printing Applications
HELICAL GEAR
Print time: 6h 33m
Gears within assemblies can have a seemingly infinite variety of sizes and teeth structures. Metal is typically the preferred material for gears due to the forces, temperatures, and abrasion that can occur.
15mm Lattice Wrench
Print time: 2h 28m
This 15MM wrench is an example of a handheld or possibly end of arm tool that has been lightweighted to reduce the load on a technician or robotic arm - allowing either to apply additional force with reduced stress.
F1 WHEEL NUT
Print time: 25h 56m
The F1 wheel nut must withstand extreme force and temperature as it is exposed to peak racing conditions. It also must hold up during tire change to even more direct forces to avoid stripping - once again necessitating metal as the choice material.
