The combination of SR-30 and MakerBot ABS is designed to provide outstanding surface finish and print precision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen we initially launched METHOD, we broke the price-to-performance barrier by delivering a 3D printer that was designed to bridge the technology gap between industrial and desktop 3D printers. This made industrial <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D printing<\/a> accessible to professionals for the first time. Since then, we have shipped hundreds of printers and received positive feedback from our customers on the precision and reliability of the machine,\u201d said Nadav Goshen, CEO, MakerBot. \u201cWith METHOD X, we are taking a step further to revolutionize manufacturing. &nbsp;METHOD &nbsp;X &nbsp;was created for engineers who need true ABS for production-ready p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s that are dimensionally-accurate with no geometric restrictions. METHOD X delivers industrial-level <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/service\/3d-printing-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">3D printing<\/a> without compromising on ABS material properties and automation in a new price category.\u201d   <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/4320379961533000027.png\" class=\"aligncenter\">  <\/p>\n<h2>Tinker-free method X<\/h2>\n<p>METHOD X also includes industrial features such as Dry-Sealed Material Bays, Dual Performance Extruders, Soluble Supports, and an Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame. METHOD X\u2019s automation and industrial technologies create a controlled printing <a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/environment\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">environment<\/a> so professionals can design, test, and iterate faster. The lengthened thermal core in the performance extruders are up to 50% longer than a standard hot-end to enable faster extrusion. This results in up to 2X faster print speeds when compared&nbsp;to popular desktop 3D printers using the same layer height and infill density settings. The speed advantage is dependent upon object geometry and material as well.<\/p>\n<p>These key technologies\u2014combined with MakerBot ABS for METHOD\u2014are designed to help engineers achieve dimensionally-accurate, production-grade p<a href=\"https:\/\/facfox.com\/news\/topics\/art\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">art<\/a>s at a significantly lower cost than traditional manufacturing processes.
