en.Wedoany.com Reported - Dutch UltiMaker has launched the industrial-grade 3D printing platform Factor 4 Plus, designed for manufacturing and defense applications, with print speeds up to twice that of the standard Factor 4.

The Factor 4 Plus is geared towards the continuous production demands of the manufacturing sector, suitable for production-grade applications such as custom fixtures, jigs, and spare parts. The platform supports the fabrication of parts using heat- and chemical-resistant materials like PPS-CF (Polyphenylene Sulfide-Carbon Fiber). The system's built-in UltiMaker TRACE feature automatically records and verifies print data to support quality assurance requirements in end-use production.

For defense and remote deployment scenarios, the Factor 4 Plus features an improved gantry system designed to reduce the effects of vibration during high-speed printing and maintain print accuracy over long runs. The TRACE feature records parameters such as extrusion behavior and chamber temperature, generating CAD verification reports that can be reviewed post-print. The system supports setup in temporary or field locations and can be operated by personnel with limited training.

The Factor 4 Plus enhances print speed through UltiMaker's Cheetah motion planner, which is designed to minimize sudden motion changes that can cause vibrations. The system is compatible with AA+ and CC+ high-flow print cores, supporting materials such as PLA, ABS, and PPS-CF, enabling faster production across a variety of applications.
