    Print complex and durable ABS parts with a 100°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.

    MakerBot Method bridges the divide between desktop prototyping and final part production – at a remarkable price. Combining the speed and accuracy of an industrial 3D printer with the space-saving design of a desktop unit, MakerBot Method features a circulating heated chamber, ultra-rigid metal frame and dual performance extruders. So easy to use that it doesn’t require an on-site technician, this is the perfect solution for use in an environment where every member of the development team will have a hand in the design and production process.

    Print real, production-grade ABS with a 100°C heated chamber.
    Powered by Stratasys®.  
     

    • - Capable of withstanding 15°C higher temperatures1 than modified desktop 3D printers ABS material formulations
    • - Powered by Stratasys® SR-30 soluble support material
    • - Superior Z-layer bonding provides higher strength without warping or curling
    • Speed up your design cycle. MakerBot Method halves the time it takes to produce each part when compared to other popular desktop printers.
    • Reduce your costs. With Method, MakerBot has reduced the first-year costs of ownership to around a third that of an entry-level industrial 3D printer, making this the perfect complimentary product for an existing 3D printing shop, or a more advanced first step for use in education.
    • The most advanced desktop 3D printer ever developed, with 21 onboard sensors, Wi-Fi connectivity and a heated build chamber. It is compatible with 25 different CAD file types, saving development time by allowing you to skip conversion.

    Built to perform

    Don’t be fooled by Method’s diminutive dimensions. Its dual print heads achieve dimensional accuracy of between ±0.2mm and ±0.002mm per millimetre of travel while maintaining a filament flow rate of up to 50 cubic millimetres per second. With a maximum build volume of 190 x 190 x 196mm and a choice of layer resolutions spanning 20 to 400 microns, you can prioritise speed for developmental designs, or quality on presentation parts.

     

    Manufacturing-ready materials including real ABS, PETG, TOUGH, and more. 

    • - Finished part dimensional accuracy of ± 0.2mm (± 0.007in)2
    • - Print complex assemblies with exact tolerances

    An automated, tinker-free industrial printing system. 

    • - 2x times faster printing than leading desktop 3D printers3
    • - 300,000+ total testing hours on 150+ printers
    • - Seamless CAD integration with

    TAKING IDEAS BEYOND THE BUILD PLATE, MAKERBOT POST PROCESSING TECHNIQUES

     

    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.

    Circulating Heated Chamber


    UNCOMPROMISED LAYER ADHESION AND PART STRENGTH:

    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

    SPEED AND DIMENSIONAL ACCURACY:

    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 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.
