Developed from the ground up leveraging industry-leading Stratasys® technologies.

BUILT TOUGH

Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame Construction

A structurally-optimized metal frame runs the full length of the body to offset flexing. Less flexing means more consistent prints with better part accuracy and fewer failures.

UNCOMPROMISED LAYER ADHESION AND PART STRENGTH

Circulating Heated Chamber

Control the temperature and quality of every layer - not just the first. While heated build plates are effective at reducing warping, Method takes this further with full active heat immersion during the entire duration of the print.

SPEED AND DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY
Dual Performance Extruders

The Dual Performance Extruder system is built from the ground up to accelerate print times and provide dimensional accuracy across every part.

Smart sensors for material management and print protection

Leveraging industrial DNA, each Performance Extruder contains a suite of sensors that detect when material is running low and allows for active jam detection during the entire print duration. It's like autonomous protection for your print—and your printer.

Greater torque with a 19:1 dual-drive gear ratio

From great strength comes great performance. The 19:1 dual-drive gear ratio keeps material loaded and ready for reliable material extrusion at every layer.

Lengthened thermal core with less than 60-second heat up time

A lengthened thermal core and a fast start up time ensure that materials are ready to go when your ideas are.

Optimized Material Storage

Dry-Sealed Material Bays

Dry-Sealed Material Bays form a near-perfect seal to keep material free of damaging humidity. A suite of built-in sensors provides that your material is stored in its optimal environment—a feature previously only available in industrial 3D printers.

Dry-sealed-material-bays

MakerBot ABS for METHOD is capable of withstanding 15°C higher temperatures, is 26% more rigid, and 12% stronger than modified ABS material formulations for desktop 3D printers.

PUSH THE LIMITS OF WHAT'S POSSIBLE

MakerBot ABS for METHOD

Print real, production-grade ABS at 100°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.

Unrestricted Geometric Freedom

Dissolvable Support System

Superior surface finish and unrestricted geometric freedom are paramount to delivering high quality printed parts. MakerBot Water-Soluble PVA ensures fast and effortless support removal without compromising part design or dimensional accuracy.

MakerBot Water-Soluble PVA provides two key benefits:
- Unrestricted geometric freedom (large overhangs, cavities, etc.)
- Superior print quality and surface finish
