See what sets Factor 4 apart

Core benefits

Reliability, repeatability and validation.

Achieve more with FDM 3D printing.

The seamless, powerful upgrade that your production workflows demand.

Factor 4 elevates manufacturing with its triple-insulated build chamber and direct dual extrusion. The automated material handling system maintains filament quality. And the robust, temperature-controlled design ensures consistent production output also on complex and challenging designs.

Achieve more with FDM 3D printing.

Direct drive extrusion for flexible materials.

The Factor 4 excels at quickly switching from 3D printing highly flexible materials all the way to strong composites, like UltiMaker PPS CF. Its H-bridge gantry and direct drive head enable rapid dual material printing.

High-temperature capabilities up to:

340 °C

with the new UltiMaker HT Core.

High quality.
Every time.
Anywhere.

Success with every 3D print.

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.

Actively temperature controlled build volume up to:

70 °C,

heated bed up to:

120 °C

A future-proof investment.

Versatility and quality that translates to fast ROI.

Regular updates ensure that your Factor 4 will evolve over time – far beyond the 12 to 18 months it will take to achieve return on investment. The 3D printer's modular build allows our global support network to quickly replace parts, minimizing downtime.

DNA

Compatible with Cura, Digital Factory and more.

Built on more than 13 years of UltiMaker legacy – dedicated to innovation, accessibility, and openness.

Integrated HEPA filter

Independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles to increase air quality peace of mind. The fully enclosed build chamber also boosts print quality.

Onboard structural integrity validation

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.

Automated material handling with low humidity storage

Automatic pre-loading and spool switching (up to 6) with RH < 15% on any external conditions.

Emergency stop button

A conspicuous red STOP button ensures easy and safe operation should there be a need to immediately halt printing.

7-inch capacitive touchscreen

Mounted higher to give a better view of the first layers when remote monitoring. Monitor your print in high resolution remotely via UltiMaker Digital Factory.

H-bridge Gantry

H-bridge gantry and direct drive head enable rapid dual material printing. Factor 4 is capable of reaching up to 340°C on its print cores, 70 °C on the print chamber and 120 °C on its heated bed.

Always up to date.

With dual onboard processors, there is plenty of computing headroom for planned and even unplanned future updates.

Dimensions

The physical space inside the UltiMaker Factor 4 that can be used for single or dual extrusion 3D printing.

330 x 240 x 300 mm (13 x 9.4 x 11.8 inches)

The 3D printer's dimensions.

695 x 605 x 1287 mm (27.5 x 24 x 51 inches)

This is the process of depositing layers of filament, one on top of the other, to build up shapes and models. It is a form of additive manufacturing technology and the process used by all UltiMaker 3D printers.

Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM)

The filament diameter that achieves optimal results on Factor series 3D printers.

2.85 mm

The net weight of the 3D printer.

120 kg (265 lbs)

The peak power output that the printer can reach – usually when the heated bed and hot ends are heating up.

Printer properties

A micron is the measurement used to define the thickness of a 3D printed layer. 20 micron is 0.02 mm thick. Thinner layers are used for high-detail prints, thicker layers are great for fast prototypes.

60 – 400 microns (depending on print core nozzle size and selected print profile)

The more accurate the stepper motors within the printer, the greater degree of accuracy and finer resolution can be achieved with each print.

6.25, 7.8, 2.5 microns

The UltiMaker Factor 4 introduces a direct drive extrusion system capable of printing with the most advanced engineering materials.

Dual-extrusion, direct drive print head and swappable print cores

Supported languages: English, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Simplified Chinese.

7 inches interactive touchscreen (resolution 1024 × 600 px)

The UltiMaker Factor 4 is compatible with all existing UltiMaker print cores: Print core AA (0.25 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.8 mm) Print core BB (0.4 mm, 0.8 mm) Print core CC (0.4 mm, 0.6 mm) Print core DD (0.4 mm) – Available in selected regions Print core HT (0.6 mm)

Swappable print cores

Thanks to swappable print cores, you can quickly switch between different filaments and material-matching print cores. This results in higher uptime and easier maintenance of your 3D printer.

Dual extrusion print head with an auto-nozzle lifting system, swappable print cores, and flood detection.

Smaller nozzle diameters enable more detailed prints, large diameters reduce overall print time.

0.25 mm, 0.4 mm, 0.6 mm, 0.8 mm

Operation parameters

The printer will notify you when the filter needs replacing (every 1,500 print hours - about once per year).

Replaceable HEPA H13 filter

A wide nozzle temperature range means greater flexibility in the 3D printing material choice.

180 - 340 °C

Simply bend the build plate and your 3D printed parts pop off. PEI coating allows for excellent adhesion without glue or support structures.
