3D Printer

UltiMaker Method

The UltiMaker Method is the base-level FDM 3D printer within the Method lineup. This line of 3D printers looks and performs drastically different than UltiMaker’s S-series of printers. The UltiMaker Method is a self-contained 3D printer that houses the filament internally and seals the full building chamber.

This is done so that the UltiMaker Method can actively heat the printing chamber. Having a specific temperature will dramatically limit the defects and errors on each 3D-printed part. In addition, the extruder gets a lot hotter, allowing you to work with specialty composites and metal-embedded filaments with ease.

The UltiMaker Method isn’t as expensive as you might think, and it brings a ton of added functionality to the table. As opposed to the UltiMaker S-series, the UltiMaker Method doesn’t offer a selection between hundreds of materials — instead, the UltiMaker Method can print about a dozen high-quality material options with fine-tuned parameters.

This FDM 3D printer is a great option for engineering departments who need more out of their printer. The UltiMaker Method offers great precision, reliability you need, repeatability you deserve, and high-quality material choices that your operation demands. The same quality of parts can’t be created on a different UltiMaker or a competitor’s 3D printer.

Features and Benefits

Accuracy, Versatility, and Reliability Like No Other

The UltiMaker Method unlocks a new level of versatility while fine-tuning the accuracy and bringing the reliability that you expect from an UltiMaker machine. This 3D printer can be used to make final products that can be sold to customers or used on your existing equipment. Plus, this machine offers a new selection of support materials to lock in your parts while they’re being made.

Better Accuracy

Simply put, the UltiMaker Method delivers a new expectation for how accurate an UltiMaker printer can be. This machine comes with some structural upgrades, high-end electronics, and a build chamber that creates the perfect environment for making highly accurate parts.

  • Temperature-regulated chamber. The chamber can reach and maintain a specific temperature up to 65°C. This results in more accurate and stronger parts.
  • All-metal frame. Sloppy frames lead to more disruption and defects during printing. The UltiMaker Method’s all-metal framework is rigid and reliable.
  • Smoother surfaces. With the UltiMaker Method, you can consistently create smoother surfaces on all of the parts that you print.

Easy to Use

Even though the UltiMaker Method is touted as a highly technical and expert-grade 3D printer, it also works great for beginners. UltiMaker is known for making printers that are usable by beginners and experts alike, and the UltiMaker Method is no exception. 

  • Great touchscreen. The touchscreen will walk you through every decision you need to make, and it’s incredibly intuitive and convenient. 
  • Swappable extruders. You can swap entire extruders now, which can help you quickly change over to a new material without risking cross-contamination. 
  • Self-contained 3D printer. The full 3D printer is self-contained and doesn’t require any additional accessories. The filament is held inside the machine’s compartment to keep your desk clean and organized.

Make Production-Grade Parts

The UltiMaker Method allows any engineering department to make final parts that are production-grade. This machine can make the parts that are used directly in their final application, whether that’s on a shelf for consumers to buy or in the engine bay of your newest automotive project.

  • Use engineered composites. Engineered composites offer more impressive tensile strengths and thermal deflection up to 184°C.
  • Metal-infused materials are no problem. Use the UltiMaker Method to print with composites that contain 316L stainless steel.
  • Replace plastic manufacturers. A team can realistically use the UltiMaker Method to create all of their needed plastic parts without ever working with a plastics manufacturer again.

More About This Technology

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most common forms of 3D printing, and it’s largely used by hobbyists and DIYers. It has a special place in industrial settings as a low-cost way to make presentable 3D parts. You might use an FDM printer to create a scaled model home, an aesthetic representation of the final part, or a non-load-bearing component. 

FDM works through an extruder on an XYZ (3-axis) gantry. Solid plastic is pushed against a hot nozzle which turns the plastic molten. The molten plastic is then carefully applied to the bed of your 3D printer. The 3-axis gantry will move around in X and Y, drawing a single layer of your 3D model. When it’s done, the nozzle will move up in the Z direction and create a new layer directly on top of the previously-extruded layer. This process continues until your full 3D-printed part is completed.

FDM printers are not used for load-bearing applications due to the weakness of the plastic material, and the weak points between each layer of the print. Even a small cyclic load can easily cause failure between layers.

You might find FDM-printed parts in the aerospace, medical, and consumer goods industries.
