Product Details

MakerBot Method X Carbon Fiber Edition

Print carbon fiber reinforced nylon and other engineering-grade composite parts with three dimensional strength and accuracy like never before on METHOD’s unique industrial desktop platform.

Strong, Heat-Resistant Metal Replacement Parts

• Carbon fiber reinforced nylon is optimized for high strength, stiffness, and heat resistance making it ideal for structural applications and metal replacements. 
• Excellent strength to weight ratio - 110 MPa TS - for lightweighting applications such as robotic end effectors
• Engineering-grade stiffness - 7600 MPa Tensile Modulus - for structural applications such as vehicular brackets and inspection gauges
• High heat resistance under load - 184°C HDT - for optimal under-hood and tooling applications

Superior Nylon Carbon Fiber Parts with METHOD X

• METHOD’s unique industrial feature set produces carbon fiber parts with superior three dimensional strength and accuracy
• METHOD’s Heated Chamber delivers parts that are strong and accurate.
• Outstanding surface finish that hides layer lines thanks to METHOD’s Ultra-Rigid Metal Frame.
• Print the most complex geometries including internal cavities with soluble support, or use breakaway support for faster print times.
• METHOD’s sealed filament bays help keep the material dry, resulting in better print quality and reliability, and METHOD’s pre-print spool drying feature allows for the recovery of oversaturated filament.
