A wide range of high-performance and certified material properties opens up a huge range of new 3D printing applications on Factor 4.

Manufacturing tools that streamline production

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

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

Innovation powered by material diversity

UltiMaker PPS-CF is a new high-temperature composite for Factor 4 that can replace complex steel parts. Its heat deflection temperature is greater than 230°C. It’s chemical resistant and flame retardant (UL94 V0), making it a versatile choice for demanding application.

Tested for Accuracy

We have verified dimensional accuracy within ±0.2mm or ±0.2% nominal length over the full printer build volume using PPS CF, PET CF, Tough PLA, and PET.

Edge-to-edge Dual Extrusion

3D print with confidence across every millimeter of the 330 x 240mm flexible build plate. And quickly remove parts thanks to its PEI coatin.

Packed with Technology for Maximum Predictability

Hassle-free Material Handling

Innovation powered by material diversity

• 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.

UltiMaker Cura: Easy print preparation for manufacturing

Our software leads the AM industry with its powerful slicing engine. A variety of file types including native CAD files can be directly imported and quickly sliced with pre-tuned application intent profiles. Cura also features:

• Over 400 settings to make granular adjustments
• Material interlocking for unrestricted multi-material combinations
• Sequential printing, ideal for small-batch production
• Regular updates that constantly improve the printing experience

UltiMaker Digital Factory: Secure, efficient 3D printing management

With shared workspaces, assigned roles, and file management using the digital library, coordinating your printing schedule is simple. The live HD camera feed on every Factor 4 combined with progress and status updates makes it trivial to handle multiple prints on multiple printers with zero downtime. Digital Factory also includes:

• In-depth analytics for review and forecasting (with CSV export)
• An overview and history of printer maintenance tasks
• Secure remote control to reprint jobs without reslicing

Onboard structural integrity validation

After every print job, receive an in-depth report on extrusion parameters deviations from nominal values, their locations, and their severity in the 3D model. Using a suite of sensors in the print head, build chamber, and material loading system, this print process reporting helps to verify and validate part quality before use in the field.

Modularity at your service

UltiMaker Factor 4 was designed to be modular. This means less production downtime in the event that a part of the printer needs servicing. Under the UltiMaker Factor 4 service plans, an expert technician anywhere in the world will be able to quickly swap the faulty part out for another so you can get up and running again as quickly as possible.
