3D Printer

UltiMaker Method X

Although the UltiMaker Method X might look a lot like the standard Method, there are multiple massive differences. Two of the biggest ones worth mentioning are the higher power output and higher heated chamber temperature.

The UltiMaker Method X applies double the wattage and can get up to 110°C within the build chamber. This added power translates to stronger, more accurate parts. 

For a hobbyist using a 3D printer, a controlled temperature within the build chamber is irrelevant. However, it’s critical for anyone making engineering-grade parts. Better control of the temperature can increase the accuracy twofold across the part. It also results in much stronger parts since the filament deposition process is more controlled.

The UltiMaker Method X is a dual-extruder FDM 3D printer, so you can print with two materials at the same time. A lot of engineers will use the second extruder to lay down dissolvable supports that will allow for more intricate parts to be built. After the build, a quick wash in water will make the supports disappear.

The UltiMaker Method X has two storage compartments to place and feed your filament. By keeping everything internal, there is less room for error and more control over how the material is used.

Features and Benefits

Accuracy, Versatility, and Reliability Like No Other

The UltiMaker Method X has a new level of versatility as compared to any other UltiMaker 3D printing. With the hotter build chamber and more available power, you can create production-grade parts with ease. At the same time, you will appreciate the reliability and accuracy that you might expect from any UltiMaker machine. The UltiMaker Method X can run nonstop for days on end, and you won’t run into issues that halt your production. All the while, you’ll be making parts that are dimensionally identical and within your tolerance specs.

Industrial Power

To put it simply, the UltiMaker Method X is an industrial-grade FDM 3D printer that can keep up with your demands. You can use engineer-quality materials with native parameter setups, giving you the best results during each print.

  • All-steel framework. The sturdy all-steel framework of the UltiMaker Method X removes any chatter or motion that would otherwise ruin the accuracy of your parts.
  • Work with engineered composites. UltiMaker Method X has default settings for different engineering composites, making sure your printer gets the best results when you use these specialty materials.
  • Automate the startup. Startup is often as easy as clicking a single button, since the UltiMaker Method X automates the initial calibration, leveling, and filament loading processes.

More Versatility

You will get more versatility out of your 3D printer when you choose the UltiMaker Method X. This machine can replace entire manufacturing workflows by itself, and it’s reliable enough to keep using for years on end. Many people don’t realize how much they need an UltiMaker Method X until they get one.

  • Upgraded extruders with limitless material options. With the LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder, you can print an unlimited number of third-party materials via your UltiMaker Method X.
  • Automatically start new prints. New prints can be started remotely, and new materials can get loaded automatically with the UltiMaker Method X.
  • Use ABS with ease. ABS is a four-letter word in 3D printing because it’s typically so difficult to use reliably. However, the UltiMaker Method X makes it incredibly easy to print with ABS.

Make Parts Faster and More Affordably

If your engineering department needs to save time and money on your fabrication processes, the UltiMaker Method X is a great option. This machine’s operating costs are incredibly low, and its throughput is impressively high. The result? Faster parts at lower costs.

  • Fast build speeds. The build speed of the UltiMaker Method X is even more impressive, since the build chamber is temperature-controlled to improve accuracy and repeatability.
  • Bring your manufacturing in-house. Shift your supply chain to start making your plastic parts in-house with the UltiMaker Method X. This gives you more control over your final parts and can easily expedite turnaround times.
  • Save money on each part. Since the UltiMaker Method X is an unmanned 3D printer that can run 24/7, each part comes with a much lower price tag (due to the eliminated labor costs).

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.
