END-USE PARTS
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.
MANUFACTURING TOOLS
Create durable, real ABS parts for the
production floor. Print dimensionally
accurate jigs, fixtures, and end-effectors
that fit seamlessly with existing
components.
FUNCTIONAL PROTOTYPES
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.

FEATURES SPECS
METHOD — A MANUFACTURING WORKSTATION
1
± 0.2mm or ± 0.002 mm per mm of travel – whichever is greater.
Based on internal testing of selected geometries.
2
Compared to popular desktop 3D printers when using the same layer height and infill density settings.
Speed advantage dependent upon object geometry and material.
3
Combined total test hours of METHOD and METHOD X (full system and subsystem testing) expected to
be completed around shipping of METHOD X.
4
Available only on METHOD X
5
Based on internal testing of injection-molded specimens of MakerBot ABS compared to ABS from a
leading desktop 3D printer competitor. Tensile testing was performed according to ASTM D638 and HDT
testing according to ASTM D648.
