  • Method X with 1XA and 2XA is ready to print ABS-R and a new game-changing tap water-soluble support material that dissolves easier, cleaner, and faster than anything else. 

Method X Carbon Fiber

Upgrade to the Method X Carbon Fiber to unlock composites on Method X with the Composite Extruder. Method X Carbon fiber comes with 1C, 2A, and 2XA extruders.

  • Print everything you can with Method X plus abrasive materials only compatible with the 1C extruder
  • Print Nylon Carbon Fiber, Nylon 12 Carbon Fiber, and the new ABS Carbon Fiber with RapidRinse support material

Industrial 3D printing made accessible

Twice the strength. Twice the accuracy. 

Patented VECT™ 110 (Variable Environmental Controlled Temperature) Thermal Regulation evenly heats and controls the print environment leading to parts that are 2x stronger on the z-axis, and 2x more accurate across the board.

Print continuously for hours, days, or weeks, thanks to METHOD’s unmatched industrial build quality.

Metals, composites, and polymers print better on method X. 

Print real ABS parts with RapidRinse™ supports that dissolve faster than anything else

15 patented features allow for better environmental controls than on any other desktop 3D printer.

Go from 25+ tuned materials to infinite 3rd party options with the LABS GEN 2 Experimental Extruder.

6-in-1 Modular Performance Extruders allow for quick change between material groups, preventing cross-contamination.

Industrial power with desktop ease. 

CloudPrint™ gives you and your team secure access to 3D print from anywhere

CloudPrint™ natively accepts the most popular CAD file types

5” capacitive touchscreen provides an intuitive step-by-step setup and real-time controls on your jobs

Auto-Calibration takes the guesswork out of setup and ensures a level build plate and extruder-alignment.

SmartAssist Material Loading makes material changing a breeze from material bay to extruder, hands-free.



ABS-R and ABS Carbon Fiber with RapidRinse

ABS, finally as easy PLA

With our proprietary RapidRinse™ support, achieve incomparable ABS parts with unprecedented ease.

Tap water soluble

Forget the cumbersome wash tanks and chemicals, RapidRinse™ dissolves in pure tap water so it’s easy to use in just about any environment.

Dissolves in minutes*

You don’t have time to wait around while your print dissolves, so we’ve engineered RapidRinse™ to dissolve faster than PVA and competitive high-temp dissolvable support materials.

*Dissolution time may vary based on part geometry and dissolution methodology
