About the New Factor 4
Edge-to-edge dual extrusion.
A spacious build chamber and homogenous bed heating allows you to take advantage of every millimeter of the 330 x 240 x 300 build plate – regardless of what material you are using. This is dual extrusion with almost unlimited design freedom, maximizing what's possible for each print job.
Automatic material handling and storage.
A new, integrated, automatic material handling system reliably manages your spools so you don't have to. The internal chamber is kept at less than 15% relative humidity, so you can keep up to 6 kilograms of filament in perfect condition for back-to-back print jobs.
Heavy duty. Heavy weight.
The UltiMaker Factor 4 is most at home in an industrial environment. Built from a robust steel, aluminum, and glass construction, it can be placed anywhere thanks to its triple-insulated and temperature-controlled build volume and integrated HEPA filter.
A simple, powerful addition to your workflow.
The UltiMaker Factor 4 is a 3D printer you can use with confidence. Its 7-inch capacitive touchscreen shows more real-time process data. Its door pauses a print when opened. And its large, red "stop" button makes operation safer if ever you need to quickly stop UltiMaker Factor 4 printing.

Introducing the New Factor 4
Factor 4 Features
3D Printing Reliability & Repeatability
Achieve More With FDM 3D Printing
A Future-Proof Investment.
Achieving a print success rate above 95%*, the reliability of UltiMaker Factor 4 is anchored in a PEI-coated flexible build plate for superior adhesion and its precise automatic inductive bed leveling for perfect first layers. Its powerful print head moves with incredible accuracy at micro steps down to less than 0.2 mm. This ensures consistency not just on one machine but across an entire fleet, making UltiMaker Factor 4 capable of producing validated parts with uniform mechanical properties vital for multi-location manufacturing. After each 3D print, a comprehensive onboard report simplifies validation and quality assurance before parts are deployed, proving the UltiMaker Factor 4 to be a powerful tool for any operation prioritizing uptime, accuracy, and repeatability in their 3D printing processes.
*95% print success rate tested using UltiMaker PLA, Tough PLA, PETG, PET CF, and PPS CF."
Success with every 3D print.
The UltiMaker Factor 4 has been thoroughly tested to ensure it achieves a print completion success rate of over 95%. This is made possible by its PEI-coated flexible built plate, allowing for excellent adhesion. And its automatic inductive bed leveling to ensure a perfect first layer for every print.
Create dimensionally accurate parts.
Achieve the highest print accuracy of any UltiMaker printer – even at high resolution on small design features. These will achieve a dimensional accuracy of ± 0.2 mm or ± 0.2% of feature nominal length over the full build plate and across multiple printers.

High quality. Every time. Any where.
UltiMaker Factor 4 makes it possible to additively produce & deploy structural integrity verified parts across different locations. The low variance , less than 10%, in extrusion rate and mechanical properties batch after batch, part after part is a combination of the H-bridge gantry, closed loop feed control, and uniformly controlled build plate temperatures – with a maximum variation of 2 °C across the X and Y axes.
Powerful onboard print reporting.
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.
The UltiMaker Factor 4 expands the range of high-performance 3D printing materials. Replace low load-bearing steel and aluminum parts with UltiMaker PPS-CF. Or create gaskets and seals with flexible materials down to Shore 70A. The H-bridge gantry and direct drive extrusion head, which enable rapid dual material printing, will accelerate your production. High-temperature capabilities up to 340 °C using the HT print core, a temperature controlled build volume, and a heated bed up to 120 °C, ensure consistent quality in demanding materials. And all this with seamless software integration with Cura and compatibility with major CAD platforms.
Increased material diversity.
A wider range of high-performance materials opens up a huge range of new 3D printing applications on UltiMaker Factor 4. The new UltiMaker PPS-CF allows you to use this high-temperature composite to replace less-demanding complex steel parts and manufacturing aids with an excellent surface finish. Plus, flexible materials down to Shore 70A means you can reliably create gaskets, seals, and shock absorbers.
Direct drive extrusion.
The combination of the all-new H-bridge gantry, direct drive extrusion print head, and built-in accelerometer allows high-speed movement and position accuracy ± 0.2 mm or ± 0.2% of a certain feature nominal length with UltiMaker Verified Materials. This results in best-in-class dual material printing speeds so that you can quickly create the flexible or strong parts you need.
High-temperature 3D printing.
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.
A hassle-free workflow.
When hardware, software, and materials are all developed under the same roof, you get a seamless 3D printing experience that's always up to date. Whatever your UltiMaker Factor 4 setup, all UltiMaker materials and print cores are automatically recognized within UltiMaker Cura.
