FEATURES
- - Capable of withstanding 15°C higher temperatures1 than modified desktop 3D printers ABS material formulations
- - Powered by Stratasys® SR-30 soluble support material
- - Superior Z-layer bonding provides higher strength without warping or curling
Manufacturing-ready materials including real ABS, PETG, NYLON, and more.
- - Finished part dimensional accuracy of ± 0.2mm (± 0.007in)2
- - Print complex assemblies with exact tolerances
An automated, tinker-free industrial printing system.
- - 2x times faster printing than leading desktop 3D printers3
- - 300,000+ total testing hours on 150+ printers
METHOD Applications
Electronics Housing
Get dimensionally-accurate, production-grade, real ABS end-use parts at a fraction of traditional manufacturing costs. METHOD reduces costs and saves time for small production manufacturing runs.
Pneumatic pump
Prototype with production-grade ABS to achieve part properties close to injection molded parts. Print dimensionally accurate assemblies and validate your designs to get your products to market faster—all at a fraction of industrial 3D printing costs.
EOA Robotic Sander
Create durable, real ABS parts for the production floor. Print dimensionally accurate jigs, fixtures, and end-effectors that fit seamlessly with existing components.
Uncompromised performance. From the inside out.
