MakerBot Method Printer Highlights: MakerBot Method introduces an entirely new category of 3D Printing defined by INDUSTRIAL RELIABILITY + PRECISION, FASTEST CAD-TO-PART, and MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE + MINIMAL INVESTMENT. We call it Performance 3D Printing. INDUSTRIAL RELIABILITY + PRECISION: Consistent print results that match design dimensions. Circulating Heated Chamber Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame Dry-Sealed Material Bays Dual Performance Extruders (with tech borrowed from SSYS patents) Precision PVA Dissolvable Supports FASTEST CAD TO PART: Up to 2x faster than desktop 3D printers* Save days or weeks over conventional outsourcing- Additive Manufacturing, CNC, etc. Enables seamless printing without tinkering. MAXIMUM PERFORMANCE + MINIMAL INVESTMENT: About the first-year cost of ownership of an entry-level industrial 3D printer with no technician required. Accelerate product development Ensure parts are how you want them before sending out for 3rd party production Provide designers direct access to 3D printing so they reach decisions faster Easy deployment and operation at the enterprise level Low Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) Reclaim development time with MakerBot no-hassle 3D printing platform *Based on internal print speed testing compared to popular desktop 3D printers when using the same layer height and infill density settings. Dependent upon object geometry.
