Dual-extruder 3D printer with open material system and actively heated build chamber
We’ve noticed that often in manufacturing companies, engineers in design, R&D, or maintenance departments need quick procurement of spare parts and expansion of low-volume production capabilities. The speed of obtaining and reducing the cost of end parts, tools, jigs and fixtures can be really key to them.
The UltiMaker Factor 4 printer will work well for industrial demands because of its wide range of materials (more than 300) and printing in two materials at the same time.
It enables printing of durable spare parts, tooling and end products where parameters like temperature resistance or good mechanical properties are important.
UltiMaker S7 is used by industries such as manufacturing, industrial automation, home appliance and electronics manufacturers. It is used in research and development departments where engineering prototypes and a large working field are needed.
Immediate transition between the design and production phases
Printing in two materials simultaneously
Distortion-free printing – heated to 70° C working chamber
Printing in high-strength materials – e.g. Kymia PEKK-A.
High printing temperature.
Fast printhead warm-up (less than 120 s) and short work platform warm-up time (less than 240 s)
Open system of materials – available materials from external manufacturers
A metal, flexible table with PEI coating aids adhesion and subsequent peeling of prints.
Integrated EPA particles filter – effectively removes up to 97% of pollutants.
Advanced software for cutting into layers (slicer) – UltiMaker Cura
Highly adjustable layer height (20-600 microns) allows you to experiment with timing, print quality and model strength
Easy to use and short training
Modularity of construction – fast service
Using basic printers, very often the final print does not meet standards. The prints may be distorted and are not produced with the required tolerance. When you want precise prints that reflect the design well, UltiMaker printers prove to be a good answer. Repeatability of prints reaches 95%, while dimensional accuracy is ± 0.2 mm or ± 0.2% of nominal part length.
Are you looking for customized materials for your production needs? Do you have specific technical requirements for your prints? With UltiMaker, you have access to an open system of materials right from the start. You will benefit from more than 250 advanced third-party materials, such as Kymia PEKK-A.
Also, the manufacturer’s range of materials is constantly expanding. You can find such filaments as PPS-CF with temperature resistance up to 230°C, high chemical resistance and fire resistance (UL94 V0).
Filament spools are stored in an insulated space with a maximum humidity of up to 10% in an office environment. A chamber capacity of up to 6 kg of material and easy spool change operation will give you access to reliable and continuous printing.
Factor 4’s dual extrusion allows you to print in materials at two printing speeds and achieve more complex, intricate parts. This means more design freedom for you.
Need remote control of printing? The 1080p camera gives you a clear view of the print chamber while the device is running.
Are you worried about the complexity of the 3D printing process? Are you at the beginning of your journey when it comes to operating the printer and configuring print settings? The UltiMaker printer is a plug & play device. You will benefit from a clear interface, short training and intuitive Cura software. You won’t have to invest extra to start production!
When investing money in a machine, you may want to be sure that any repair will take place at an authorized service center. At CadXpert, we offer products from well-known, stable and proven 3D printing companies. We are in touch with the manufacturer and make repairs using authorized parts and methods.
Yes, we won’t leave you alone. Along with each printer, we offer training for employees on how to use the device.
What do you gain by implementing UltiMaker Factor 4 in your company?
In all simulations, UltiMaker solutions achieve competitive results. Print without worrying about lost time!
We know that our customers need reliable 3D printing information and printer comparisons in their purchases. When it comes to making a substantive case for a purchase, breadth and precision of insight is important.
With this in mind, we created “3D Printer Comparison. A Universal User’s Guide.”
Our guide will help you in the decision-making process. It’s a useful resource that you’ll be able to present to a board of directors or before a purchasing committee. It helps you evaluate technologies and 3D printers against a number of useful criteria.
Example of ROI on part printing for the manufacturing industry (50 pieces). The break-even point with respect to subcontracting 3D printing typically ranks around 37 parts.
To implement an in-house printer is to become independent of the supplies, logistics and deadlines of subcontractors. It is also worth including indirect benefits in the calculation of the investment.
Do you aim to get into 3D printing on an industrial level and need financing for selected solutions? At the same time you may not want to lock up full amounts of your own funds. At CadXpert, we support you from the beginning of your journey and enable you to take advantage of leasing our equipment.
We work with several partners to obtain financing for your projects. We will show you where you can go to find support and get funding with simplified procedures and maximum customer care. We will help you buy and implement very quickly.
Leasing is the optimal solution for businesses. With no one-time investment, the device works for you from the beginning and you can treat the installments as a tax-deductible expense.
At CadXpert, certified engineers provide warranty care for the equipment. There is no need to use foreign, non-responsive service centers.
You will be able to get in touch at any time about the operation of the device and get the missing information.
Our implementation consultants, as part of the initial analysis of the situation, will help you find additional applications for your printer so that you can realize the full potential of the device.
We will send a consultant to your factory to review possible 3D printing applications and conduct a demand analysis for the printer.

As part of the conversation, the consultant:
In furtherance of our cooperation:
Do you have a specific problem or challenge that 3D printing could solve?
What size parts do you want to print? The most common prints are important, as they are the ones worth investing in 3D printers for.
What is more important to you aesthetics or the durability of the print? This will help us determine the right printing technology.
Is the print to meet any additional requirements? E.g. chemical resistance, heat resistance, biocompatibility certificate, pressure maintenance, low weight, handling of very heavy loads, abrasion resistance, good sliding properties, etc.
