Bridging the gap between industrial and desktop 3D printing. Breakthrough technologies leveraging patents from Stratasys — the worldwide leader in industrial 3D printing: Developed from the ground up leveraging industry-leading Stratasys patents including a heated build chamber, precision dissolvable supports, and dry-sealed material bays. Uncompromised performance. From the inside out: 21 Onboard Sensors Wi-Fi Connectivity Remote Monitoring + Printing 25 Compatible Cad File Types 5" Full-Colour Capacitive Touch Screen Over 220,000 Hours Of Reliability Testing Fastest Cad To Part Workflow: Print up to 2x faster than desktop 3D printers and accelerate your agile design process. Method screams past desktop 3D printers while simultaneously providing dimensional accuracy and industrial 3D printer reliability. 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. 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. 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. 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. MakerBot Materials for Method Precision Materials: Extensively tested by MakerBot for the highest reliability and measurably accurate parts. Specialty Materials: For users looking for special materials with advanced properties to push the limits of what's possible. 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
