These forward-looking statements are based on current information that is, by its nature, subject to rapid and even abrupt change. The statements in this press release relating to Stratasys’ and/or MakerBot's beliefs regarding the benefits consumers will experience from using MakerBot RapidRinse™ and ABS-R materials and timing of their expected shipping are forward-looking statements reflecting management's current expectations and beliefs.
SIMPLIFY 3D PRICE INSTALL
Through this dedication, MakerBot has one of the largest install bases in the industry and also runs Thingiverse, the largest 3D printing community in the world. Founded in 2009 in Brooklyn, N.Y., MakerBot strives to redefine the standards for 3D printing for reliability, accessibility, precision, and ease-of-use. The company helps create the innovators of today and the businesses and learning institutions of the future. MakerBot, a Stratasys company, is a global leader in the 3D printing industry. RapidRinse and ABS-R are expected to begin shipping in December 2021. Its 6-in-1 modular extruder platform also allows for a quick change between material groups, preventing cross-contamination and faster extruder degradation.Įngineered and tested for over half a decade to print non-stop with over 15 patented technologies from Stratasys, METHOD 3D printers are built to reliably deliver prototypes, parts, complex assemblies, and manufacturing aids with greater strength and dimensional accuracy. METHOD X can print the same polymers, composites, and metals found in familiar manufacturing processes-from injection molding to machining-due to its unique environmental control features. MakerBot materials for METHOD are formulated to meet the highest standards. The addition of RapidRinse and ABS-R further strengthens METHOD X’s growing portfolio of advanced engineering-grade materials. Further, RapidRinse is another step we are taking with Stratasys in our ongoing efforts to support sustainable manufacturing practices and industry safety standards." "METHOD is the only desktop 3D printer in its price class with a heated chamber that can print a range of advanced polymers, composites, and metal-all on one machine. With RapidRinse and ABS-R, we are continuing to deliver on that promise," said Nadav Goshen, CEO, MakerBot. "Our goal with METHOD has always been to make industrial 3D printing easy, reliable, and accurate on a desktop 3D printer. Printing with RapidRinse on METHOD X can produce dimensionally accurate ABS parts of ☐.2mm (☐.007 inch) 2, giving engineers more confidence in creating parts to spec. The METHOD X’s heated chamber, a patented VECT™ (Variable Environmental Controlled Temperature) 110 Technology, combined with proprietary RapidRinse soluble supports are designed to deliver incomparable ABS parts as easily as PLA but with superior material properties.

ABS-R is optimized to work with the new RapidRinse fast-dissolving support material to deliver the best print quality and user experience. ABS-R is a new ABS formulation that provides superior printing reliability and performance for consistent, repeatable ABS prototypes, tools, and parts.
SIMPLIFY 3D PRICE CRACK
RapidRinse’s water soluble properties are intended to make it an easier and safer support material to work with, leaving behind minimal residue.ĪBS is one of the most in-demand, yet difficult, materials to successfully print on a desktop 3D printer due to its propensity to shrink, warp, curl, or crack without the right conditions. 1 Without the need for solvents, engineers no longer need to purchase additional post-processing equipment. RapidRinse can dissolve significantly quicker than other high-temperature soluble support materials under the same conditions. RapidRinse easily dissolves in warm tap water and does not require caustic chemicals, typical for some soluble support materials. RapidRinse is a new and unique patent-pending, fast-dissolving support material designed to eliminate cumbersome and costly post-processing procedures.
