The MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber Edition gives users the ability to 3D print with advanced materials like Carbon Fiber infused nylon that require a steady, heated build chamber that can reach temperatures up to 110°C, as well as high-performance hotends that can handle the temperature load and material properties of nylon infused with carbon fiber which is optimized for high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance making it ideal for structural applications and metal replacement parts. The MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber Edition is capable of printing with dissolvable supports, and it also includes dry-sealed material bays and dual high-performance extruders. Method X Carbon Fiber Edition is the perfect solution for personal or commercial additive manufacturing applications.

METHOD X CARBON FIBER EDITION IS BUILT TO LAST
A structurally optimized metal frame runs the full length of the body of the Method X Carbon Fiber Edition. This ultra-rigid metal frame was designed with the sole purpose of offsetting flexing, less flexing results in more consistent prints, more accurate parts, and fewer failures overall.
ACHIEVE UNCOMPROMISED LAYER ADHESION AND PART STRENGTH USING CARBON-FIBER INFUSED NYLON
Featuring a 110°C circulating heated chamber, Method X Carbon Fiber Edition allows users to control the temperature and quality of every layer. While heated build plates are effective at reducing first layer warping, the Method X Carbon Fiber Edition takes this approach one step further with full active heat immersion – providing even temperatures for the entire duration of the print job. This allows better layer adhesion for nylon, strengthening your printed parts even more. The increased temperature range also allows for even more advanced materials to be used for desktop additive manufacturing.
SMART FEATURES HELP TO REDUCE COST AND SAVE TIME ON SMALL PRODUCTION MANUFACTURING RUNS
The dual performance extruder system utilized by the Method X Carbon Fiber Edition was built from the ground up with the goal of accelerating print times and providing higher dimensional accuracy across every part. Built-in smart sensors for material management and print protection automatically detect and alert the user when materials are running low and allow for active jam detection during the entire print duration. Other features such as the Spring Steel build plate, which easily pops out to allow users to queue up their next print, and the 5” full-color capacitive touch screen offers users a highly intuitive and seamless user experience.
