Key features for accurate, large production parts

• Large build area for bigger parts: A 305 x 305 x 320 mm build volume supports larger prototypes, fixtures, tooling, and functional components without splitting models into multiple sections.
• Actively heated chamber for better part stability: The 100°C heated build chamber helps reduce warping, improve layer adhesion, and maintain more stable print conditions for engineering materials.
• Dual extruders for model and support materials: The dual-extruder configuration supports high-performance support materials, making it easier to print complex geometries and overhangs.
• Dimensional accuracy for repeatable results: Accuracy within ±0.2 mm supports professional part development where fit, consistency, and predictability matter.

Material handling for engineering-grade applications

The printer is optimised for high-strength and heat-resistant materials, helping produce parts with improved real-world performance. Supported material families include ABS, ASA, Nylon Carbon Fiber, and more.

• Variable environmental controls help limit warping and shrinkage during printing.
• RapidRinse™ water-soluble supports simplify post-processing for intricate models.
• Enhanced material storage helps keep filament dry and ready to print.

Connected workflow tools for professional teams

The UltiMaker Method XL fits into team-based design and manufacturing environments with flexible connectivity and remote management features. It supports Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, and USB connections for different deployment needs.

• MakerBot CloudPrint™ enables remote monitoring and job management.
• CAD workflow integration supports software such as Fusion 360 and SolidWorks.
• Onboard camera provides real-time print monitoring.

Setup and maintenance designed for practical daily use

The Method XL is built for professionals who need industrial-grade output without a complicated setup process. A quick, guided setup process helps users get started efficiently, while the intuitive touchscreen interface keeps operation straightforward.

• Modular extruder system supports easier swapping and maintenance.
• Minimal user intervention helps maintain a reliable, high-performance printing workflow.

Use cases for the UltiMaker Method XL
