UltiMaker’s Method XL 3D printer has heated chamber and heated build plate to prevent warping

UltiMaker has introduced the Method XL 3D printer, which features a 305- by 305- by 320-mm build volume and a dimensional accuracy of ±0.2 mm. The unit is designed to create large, complex parts from industrial-grade materials like ABS-R and ABS carbon fiber. The heated chamber can reach up to 100 degrees C, and the heated build plate helps prevent warping and layer adhesion.

Using RapidRinse, a fast-dissolving, water-soluble support material, the machine helps simplify printing with ABS. It enables fast support removal for complex FDM parts, resulting in a more refined surface finish, the company states.

The printer syncs with CloudPrint software, which allows users to upload, monitor, and track their print jobs from their web browser.
