The MakerBot Method combines the usability of a desktop 3D printer with industrial features. It is equipped with smart sensors and numerous patented technologies, including a heated build chamber, precision dissolvable supports and dry-sealed material bays. An extremely robust metal frame, which extends over the entire length of the device’s body, minimises unwanted movements, thus ensuring high dimensional accuracy.
Statement by the Jury
The MakerBot Method takes 3D printing to the next level by integrating innovative industrial technologies into a compact, intuitive design.
