3D printer MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber

3D printer MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber

The MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber 3D printer is a production workstation that has the ability to print with abrasive materials.

MakerBot has unveiled its Method X Carbon Fiber 3D printer, which is presented as a professional, high-performance, out-of-the-box device that solves a wide range of complex tasks without additional effort. With two interchangeable modular extruders equipped with smart sensors, Method X Carbon Fiber offers high-speed 3D printing 2x faster than leading desktop counterparts. Its up to 190 x 190 x 196 mm air-circulating build chamber, heated to 110°C, creates the ideal conditions for high-precision printing of complex and durable parts made of ABS engineering plastics and other materials. As with other 3D printers in the series, the Method X Carbon Fiber is developed using Stratasys patents to ensure the final product's dimensional accuracy, quality and reliability of work results comparable to industrial devices.

Print rigid, lightweight, and heat-resistant composite parts, then switch between material groups with 6-in-1 modular extruders.


Best for production:

  • Tools and fixtures
  • End use parts
  • functional prototypes

MakerBot 3D printer printing with carbon fiber materials


To meet the rigorous industry standards, MakerBot has broken away from the open source tradition by offering a series of printers based on a completely new architecture. The MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber offers engineers and designers the industrial performance and flexibility to bring ideas to life quickly at an affordable price.


Supported Consumables

With a closed chamber heated to 110 °C and interchangeable modular extruders heated to 300 °C, the range of materials available for Method X Carbon Fiber is very wide. From traditional PLA and ABS, to various durable and specialty materials such as TOUGH, PETG, Nylon, ASA, Durabio, PC, as well as reinforced plastics such as N12 Carbon Fiber, ABS Carbon Fiber, ABS Kevlar, and soluble support materials.


Heated circulation chamber up to 110 °C


Sturdy frame construction

To achieve the stability and accuracy of printing, it is necessary to compensate for deformations and vibrations of the 3D printer body. To prevent them, the MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber design is optimized with an ultra-rigid metal frame. It runs the entire length of the hull to compensate for flex. Fewer flex means more stable prints with greater detail accuracy and fewer failures.


Durable Method X Carbon Fiber carcass construction


Fast printing of durable and precise parts

The Dual Performance high-performance extruder system is designed from the ground up to reduce print times and ensure every part is dimensionally accurate to ±0.2mm. Smart sensors for material management and print protection. Each printer extruder contains a set of sensors that detect problems such as plastic filament breakage or plastic jams in the extruder during the entire print life.

The 19:1 ratio gear system provides the force needed to evenly feed the plastic filament into the nozzle. The heated working chamber and table, as well as a number of sensors, carry out a controlled temperature regime during the entire printing time. They ensure the quality of each layer, starting from the first. Uniform controlled cooling of the part during the printing process gives dimensional accuracy and improved layer adhesion. Uncompromising bonding of the layers makes the part strong in the Z-axis without warping or twisting.

The extended heat core increases heat distribution, and as a result, reduces the heating time to 60 seconds.

The dual extrusion system in MakerBot's Method X Carbon Fiber, when used in conjunction with soluble PVA, can create complex geometries.


The set includes extruders:

  • Model Extruder 1C
  • Support Extruder 2A
  • Support Extruder 2XA


MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber supported extruders

Automated Industrial Printing System

MakerBot Print software works with 25 CAD file types - work with the programs you're used to. Own project exchange platform Cloud Management. Remote printer management and printing, automated maintenance and support procedures. Full CAD integration with AUTODESK Fusion 360, AUTODESK Inventor and Solidworks.


Optimized material storage

The MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber offers a dry-tight material compartment as a way to keep materials stable. This is an important parameter that directly affects the quality of printing, the control of which was previously available only in industrial 3D printers.

A set of built-in sensors ensures that your material is stored in the optimal environment.


Optimized MakerBot Material Storage


The smart material management system of the printer controls the loading and self-feeding of materials to the extruder. The user only needs to insert material and the printer does the rest.




Exceptional and reliable performance

The MakerBot X Carbon Fiber 3D printer delivers industrial-grade performance for one-third the cost of a 1-year industrial 3D printer. Using 3D printing to reduce design risk, testing prototypes and precision engineered parts minimizes costs at a later stage in the production cycle and allows products to be brought to market faster.
