Accurate applications from design to industrial

UltiMaker Factor 4 is our end-to-end industrial application solution. It’s tailored for the development, production, and full-confidence deployment of process-critical tools and machine components.

Manufacturing tools that
streamline production

When you need to keep operations running, Factor 4 can help simplify factory processes and reduce human-related inconsistencies. It facilitates operations with direct dual material extrusion, support for engineering materials, and onboard print process reporting to achieve unrivaled predictability and minimal variance.

Small batches of auxiliary
end-parts

Factor 4 delivers predictable, verifiable part quality for distributed production. The less than 10% variance in extrusion rate and mechanical properties, plus the repeatable dimensional accuracy batch after batch, is a combination of the H-bridge gantry, closed loop feed control, and uniformly controlled build plate tempera- tures – with a maximum variation of 5°C across the X and Y axes.

High-fidelity functional engineering prototypes

The ability to accurately reproduce functional parts in a wide variety of engineering materials accelerates testing and innovation. Factor 4 is a low-emission, low-maintenance platform that’s safe to leave unattended. Stay in full control with over 400 Cura settings and in-depth part validation tools.

Packed with technology for maximum 

predictability

Hassle-free material handling

A new, integrated, automatic material handling system reliably manages your spools so you don’t have to. The internal chamber is kept at less than 10% RH in office conditions, so you can keep up to 6 kilograms of filament in perfect condition for back-to-back print jobs.

Fully redesigned extrusion train

The combination of the all-new H-bridge gantry and direct drive extrusion print head allows high-speed movement and positional accuracy of ±0.2 mm or ±0.2% of the feature’s nominal length with UltiMaker Verified Materials. This results in best-in-class dual material printing speeds so that you can quickly create the flexible or strong parts you need.

Hassle-free material handling

UltiMaker Factor 4 raises the temperature up to 340°C using the HT print core.

This means that you can now 3D print higher temperature-resistant and durable materials with more confidence.

The temperature within the fully enclosed build volume is also controlled up to 70°C, with a heated bed up to 120°C, ensuring optimal material-specific processing conditions and consistent part quality wherever the 3D printer is located.
