UltiMaker TRACE Technical Reporting And Certification Engine

Total print transparency for strict compliance standards.

Go beyond basic monitoring to provide the level of traceability required for rigorous industrial compliance. Throughout the entire print job, TRACE continuously logs and analyzes four key parameters. By monitoring this specific dataset in real time, the engine can instantly detect minor thermal or volumetric deviations that might affect part quality, layer adhesion, or mechanical performance.

Continuously log and analyze four key parameters:

Extrusion factor,

Nozzle temperature,

Chamber temperature,

Build plate temperature.

High quality. Every time. Anywhere.

Success with every 3D print.

The Factor 4 Plus features a fully isolated, thermally controlled print chamber that increases printing accuracy by maintaining a constant thermal gradient throughout the entire build envelope. By managing the ambient temperature precisely, this system minimizes internal stress and thermal shock as new layers are deposited.

Actively temperature controlled build volume up to:

70 °C,

heated bed up to:

120 °C

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

Improved- lifetime tested Gantry.

Performed rigorous lifetime tests (15,000 hrs) to ensure maximum uptime in the field.

The gantry is built to absorb unwanted vibrations when printing fast. This stability keeps the print process in check, ensuring precise parts even when the Cheetah motion planner pushes the printer to its limits.

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.

Integrated HEPA filter

Independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles to increase air quality peace of mind.

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 Plus 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. This 3D printer ships with two AA+ 0.4 mm print cores and one CC+ 0.6 mm print core.

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.
