Now Serving US & Canada
Industrial-grade 3D Printing Built for the Factory Floor
The UltiMaker Factor 4+ takes industrial FDM 3D printing to the next level, transforming your shop floor or field operation into an agile, continuous production environment. Engineered specifically for engineers, manufacturers, and defense applications, the Factor 4+ delivers up to twice the print speed of its predecessor without sacrificing dimensional accuracy.
Dual print head
Direct-drive dual extrusion with the Cheetah motion planner for precise printing at 2x speed.
Large Build Volume
Maximized 330 x 240 x 300 mm build space optimized for rapid, high-flow print cores.
Heated Build Chamber
Actively heated 70° C environment ensures warp-free, industrial-grade composite printing.
Smart Material Station
Front-loading 6-bay chamber with NFC tracking that keeps filament under 15% humidity.
“With the Factor 4 in combination with the Lehvoss materials we can really achieve applications that require higher specs in terms of dimm accuracy and reliability.”

Features
built for the Factory Floor & Field Deployment
Factor 4+ sets a new standard for 3D printing in demanding industrial and defense manufacturing settings. Its triple-insulated build chamber is paired with an improved, ruggedized gantry system engineered to absorb severe vibrations during high-speed produciton. The automated material handling system maintains optimal filament quality, while the actively temperature-controlled design guarantees repeatable, continuous production output, even when printing complex geometries on remote factory floors or in harsh field operations.
Reliable, Repeatable Results at Twice the Speed
Equipped with a flexible, magnetic build plate measuring 330 x 240 mm, the Factor 4+ provides the ultimate user experience with a specialized PEI coating for effortless, quick part removal. Driven by the revolutionary Cheetah motion planner, the Factor 4+ removes abrupt velocity changes to double print speed without compromising precision. Its exceptional dimensional accuracy remains verified within ±0.2 mm or ±0.2% feature nominal length across the entire build volume, allowing you to confidently leverage rapid dual extrusion for multi-material components and high-performance composites like PPS-CF.
Hassle-free Material Handling
The automated material handling system seamlessly manages your spools, eliminating the need for manual intervention during active print jobs. Drop spools directly into the front-loading Material Station, where integrated NFC sensors automatically recognize and track material levels. The internal chamber is strictly insulated to maintain a relative humidity of less than 15% across all operational environemnts, keeping up to 6 kilograms of filament in pristine, dry conditions for uninterrupted, 24/7 production cycles.
Seamless Software & Automated Part Validation
UltiMaker Cure and Digital Facotry work in harmony with the Factor 4+ to provide an industry-leading, secure workflow that rapidly slices native CAD files using pre-tuned profiles optimized for the high-speed AA+ and CC+ print cores. To take quality assurance to true production levels, the integrated UltiMaker TRACE software continuously monitors critical build metrics during operation, automatically generating a comprehensive CAD-validation report immediatly upon print completion. Combined with an onboard live HD camera feed, secure data encryption, and offline printing support, managing a fleet of mission-critical prints has never been easier or more reliable.
