UltiMaker
Factor 4 Plus 3D Printer
Introduction
Industrial-grade hardware optimized for high-speed production.
An industrial-grade platform that delivers up to twice the speed of alternative industrial platforms while bringing robust, high-performance printing to continuous factory production for the manufacturing and defense industries.
The seamless, powerful upgrade that your production workflows demand.
Factor 4 Plus elevates manufacturing with its triple-insulated build chamber and direct dual extrusion.
The automated material handling system maintains filament quality.
And the robust, temperature-controlled design ensures consistent production output also on complex and challenging designs.
Total print transparency for strict compliance standards.
Go beyond basic monitoring to provide the level of traceability required for rigorous industrial compliance.
Throughout the entire print job, TRACE continuously logs and analyzes four key parameters.
By monitoring this specific dataset in real time, the engine can instantly detect minor thermal or volumetric deviations that might affect part quality, layer adhesion, or mechanical performance.
Success with every 3D print.
The Factor 4 Plus features a fully isolated, thermally controlled print chamber that increases printing accuracy by maintaining a constant thermal gradient throughout the entire build envelope.
By managing the ambient temperature precisely, this system minimizes internal stress and thermal shock as new layers are deposited.
Improved- lifetime tested Gantry.
Performed rigorous lifetime tests (15,000 hrs) to ensure maximum uptime in the field.
The gantry is built to absorb unwanted vibrations when printing fast.
This stability keeps the print process in check, ensuring precise parts even when the Cheetah motion planner pushes the printer to its limits.
Automated material handling with low humidity storage.
Automatic pre-loading and spool switching (up to 6) with RH < 15% on any external conditions.
Emergency stop button.
A conspicuous red STOP button ensures easy and safe operation should there be a need to immediately halt printing.
Integrated HEPA filter.
Independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles to increase air quality peace of mind.
7-inch capacitive touchscreen.
Mounted higher to give a better view of the first layers when remote monitoring.
Monitor your print in high resolution remotely via UltiMaker Digital Factory.
H-bridge Gantry.
H-bridge gantry and direct drive head enable rapid dual material printing.
Factor 4 Plus is capable of reaching up to 340°C on its print cores, 70 °C on the print chamber and 120 °C on its heated bed.
Always up to date.
With dual onboard processors, there is plenty of computing headroom for planned and even unplanned future updates.
