Achieve more with FDM 3D Printing

Direct drive extrusion for handling flexible materials.

The Factor 4 excels at quickly transitioning from 3D printing highly flexible materials to durable composites like UltiMaker PPS CF. Its H-bridge gantry and direct drive head enable fast dualmaterial printing.

High-temperature capabilities up to:

340°C

with the new UltiMaker HT Core.

Reliable Quality.
Every time. Anywhere.

Success with every 3D print.

Factor 4 facilitates the additive production and deployment of structurally verified parts across multiple locations. With less than 10% variance in extrusion rate and mechanical properties from batch to batch and part to part, it combines the H-bridge gantry, closed-loop feed control, and uniformly controlled build plate temperatures, ensuring a maximum variation of 2°C across the X and Y axes.

Actively temperature controlled build volume up to:

70 °C,

heated bed up to:

120 °C

A Future-Proof Investment.

Versatility and quality that lead to a quick ROI

Regular updates ensure continuous improvement of your Factor 4 over time, extending far beyond the initial 12 to 18 months needed for ROI. The printer’s modular design allows our worldwide support team to quickly replace components, minimizing downtime.
