METHOD X can print the same polymers, composites, and metals found in familiar manufacturing processes-from injection molding to machining-due to its unique environmental control features. MakerBot materials for METHOD are formulated to meet the highest standards. The addition of RapidRinse and ABS-R further strengthens METHOD X’s growing portfolio of advanced engineering-grade materials. Further, RapidRinse is another step we are taking with Stratasys in our ongoing efforts to support sustainable manufacturing practices and industry safety standards.' 'METHOD is the only desktop 3D printer in its price class with a heated chamber that can print a range of advanced polymers, composites, and metal-all on one machine. With RapidRinse and ABS-R, we are continuing to deliver on that promise,' said Nadav Goshen, CEO, MakerBot. 'Our goal with METHOD has always been to make industrial 3D printing easy, reliable, and accurate on a desktop 3D printer. Printing with RapidRinse on METHOD X can produce dimensionally accurate ABS parts of ☐.2mm (☐.007 inch) 2, giving engineers more confidence in creating parts to spec. The METHOD X’s heated chamber, a patented VECT™ (Variable Environmental Controlled Temperature) 110 Technology, combined with proprietary RapidRinse soluble supports are designed to deliver incomparable ABS parts as easily as PLA but with superior material properties. ABS-R is optimized to work with the new RapidRinse fast-dissolving support material to deliver the best print quality and user experience. ABS-R is a new ABS formulation that provides superior printing reliability and performance for consistent, repeatable ABS prototypes, tools, and parts.

RapidRinse’s water soluble properties are intended to make it an easier and safer support material to work with, leaving behind minimal residue.ĪBS is one of the most in-demand, yet difficult, materials to successfully print on a desktop 3D printer due to its propensity to shrink, warp, curl, or crack without the right conditions. 1 Without the need for solvents, engineers no longer need to purchase additional post-processing equipment. RapidRinse can dissolve significantly quicker than other high-temperature soluble support materials under the same conditions.

RapidRinse easily dissolves in warm tap water and does not require caustic chemicals, typical for some soluble support materials.

RapidRinse is a new and unique patent-pending, fast-dissolving support material designed to eliminate cumbersome and costly post-processing procedures.
