UltiMaker Method XL 3D Printer – ABS & Precision at Scale

UltiMaker Method XL 3D Printer – Engineering-Grade ABS with Precision and Scale

The UltiMaker Method XL 3D printer is the ultimate FDM solution for printing large, precision-engineered parts with real ABS and dissolvable supports. Designed for professionals who demand industrial-grade performance without compromise, the Method XL offers a heated chamber, expansive build volume, and best-in-class dimensional accuracy. Combined with RapidRinse™ support material and an ultra-rigid metal frame, the Method XL redefines what’s possible with desktop-friendly industrial 3D printing.

Whether you’re creating prototypes, jigs, or end-use parts, the Method XL delivers outstanding results with minimal post-processing and exceptional geometric freedom. With seamless integration into the UltiMaker CloudPrint ecosystem, users benefit from advanced slicing, remote print control, and effortless print preparation—streamlining the entire workflow.

Heated chamber. Heated build plate. VECT thermal regulation system.
The patented VECT™ 100 thermal system actively regulates the print environment while the heated build plate ensures superior layer adhesion. The result? Industrial-quality parts with greater dimensional control.

Engineering-grade ABS prototypes.
The Method XL enables engineers to design and print production-grade ABS parts at scale. Print strong, accurate components with complex geometries and unrestricted freedom—perfect for testing, validation, and production tooling.

High precision for low tolerances.
With exceptional dimensional accuracy, the Method XL ensures tight tolerances even on large-format ABS parts. Its actively heated build chamber reduces warping and boosts consistency—making it ideal for mission-critical applications.

Large part size? No compromise.
Boasting the largest build volume of any UltiMaker 3D printer (12 x 12 x 12.6 in), the Method XL lets you print full-scale prototypes and tools without sacrificing precision or part performance.

Support material? Gone in a splash.
RapidRinse™ enables fast, hands-free support removal—just rinse with tap water. Paired with ABS-R, it unlocks new possibilities for complex designs and streamlined post-processing.
