3D Printer

UltiMaker Method XL

The UltiMaker Method XL is the newest, largest, most advanced 3D printer that UltiMaker offers. With UltiMaker’s largest build volume, the UltiMaker Method XL is perfect for tackling larger projects or stacking more parts in a single print operation.  Since this machine is in the Method family, it features a heated and regulated build chamber.

A sealed and heated build chamber dramatically improves the finish and accuracy of every part that you make. It controls the curing process of whatever filament you use, and it works as a miniature annealing process, improving the strength of each part.

As a new feature on the UltiMaker Method XL, you’ll also get a two-stage air filter on this machine. This doesn’t necessarily change the printing settings, but it does eliminate any dangerous fumes or strong odors that might come from your 3D printer, especially when printing with ABS.

Speaking of ABS, the UltiMaker Method XL has put a lot of focus on ABS printing. As you may or may not know, printing with ABS can be incredibly tricky. Parts will commonly fall apart and fail during the printing operation, and it’s hard to support them. The UltiMaker Method XL has a special extruder, build plate, and chamber that are all optimized for ABS printing. The result? They claim you can print parts with ABS just as easily as you can print parts with PLA.

The UltiMaker Method XL also has an external material case that controls the humidity of your filament before it feeds into the machine. This is just an added bonus that helps the quality of your parts and the longevity of your filament spools.

Features and Benefits

Accuracy, Versatility, and Reliability Like No Other

The UltiMaker Method XL brings a lot of power to the table. As an FDM 3D printer, it’s one of the more accurate and reliable options on the market. Thanks to its ability to work with carbon fiber-reinforced materials and engineered composites, it’s also one of the most versatile. It can handle a wide range of different materials with ease. Engineering departments that own an UltiMaker Method XL will likely use it more often than they expect to. This is a printer that can happily sit in a dark corner of your engineering office and still create high-quality parts in a fraction of the time.

A 3D Printer for Engineers

To put it simply, the UltiMaker Method XL is made for engineers. You won’t see a hobbyist or consumer-grade user running one of these machines in their garage. This 3D printer has a large build volume and an ability to handle difficult materials.

  • Make strong, long-lasting parts. A part made using the UltiMaker Method XL is made to last. With carbon-reinforced materials at your disposal, you don’t have to deal with flimsy parts.
  • Integrates into your production workflow. However you’re currently making plastic parts can likely be completely replaced by a single UltiMaker Method XL.
  • Great for troubleshooting, iterative designs, or prototyping. A 3D printer can speed up a lot of your existing engineering processes, bringing extra power and better results.

Expedite Your Production Phases

The UltiMaker Method XL is seriously fast. Not only does the machine run quickly, but it can quickly transform your ideas into physical parts. As an engineer, the ability to pull a part out of thin air is an incredible superpower, and the UltiMaker Method XL can basically do that.

  • Concept to part within hours. It’s commonplace for an engineer to go from a rough idea to a finished, physical part within a few hours when they use this machine.
  • Expedite your time to market. Whenever you’re developing a new product, you can do destructive testing and iterative design with the UltiMaker Method XL even faster.
  • Fix a problem in an instant. What if a part breaks on the production floor and the OEM manufacturer won’t have a replacement sent to you for weeks? You can quickly 3D print a replacement on the UltiMaker Method XL within hours.

3D Printing, Simplified

3D printing can be a tricky idea for a lot of people. The whole industry has a lot of mystery, and plenty of engineers aren’t ready for the steep learning curve. Well, the UltiMaker Method XL gets rid of most of the learning curve, allowing inexperienced people to make high-quality parts with no headaches.

  • One-touch printing. You can start a print on the machine with one touch, or you can start it remotely. The machine needs no supervision while it’s running, so you don’t have to babysit the machine.
  • Sensors to eliminate some human error. With sensors automatically pausing or stopping the print when it runs into an error, you won’t waste time or material on any prints.
  • A well-controlled printing environment. Since the build chamber is heated, sealed, and controlled, there is less room for error with each part.

More About This Technology

Fused deposition modeling (FDM) is one of the most common forms of 3D printing, and it’s largely used by hobbyists and DIYers. It has a special place in industrial settings as a low-cost way to make presentable 3D parts. You might use an FDM printer to create a scaled model home, an aesthetic representation of the final part, or a non-load-bearing component. 

FDM works through an extruder on an XYZ (3-axis) gantry. Solid plastic is pushed against a hot nozzle which turns the plastic molten. The molten plastic is then carefully applied to the bed of your 3D printer. The 3-axis gantry will move around in X and Y, drawing a single layer of your 3D model. When it’s done, the nozzle will move up in the Z direction and create a new layer directly on top of the previously-extruded layer. This process continues until your full 3D-printed part is completed.

FDM printers are not used for load-bearing applications due to the weakness of the plastic material, and the weak points between each layer of the print. Even a small cyclic load can easily cause failure between layers.

You might find FDM-printed parts in the aerospace, medical, and consumer goods industries.
