MakerBot Replicator Z18
The large, professional 3D printer
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 offers enormous build volume and the best price-performance ratio among the largest and most professional 3D printers.
Enormous build volume and 0.1 mm layer resolution
Think and build bigger than ever before with the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D printer!
Create particularly tall and very large prototypes, models and products with a build volume of 30.5 L x 30.5 W x 45.7 H cm.
The closed and heated installation space is designed to produce large models with minimal distortion.
Thanks to professional quality, you can print high-resolution prototypes and complex models for which no post-processing (grinding, finishing, etc.) is required.
Create realistic prototypes and models for customer meetings, presentations or installation tests. Determine the quality of your printouts yourself. Settings from quick draft models to high-quality printouts are easily selectable.
This allows quick and easy creation of physical objects and on-demand production.
The best of fifth-generation technology
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D printer is based on 5th generation technology.
The fifth-generation technology sets new standards in terms of usability, quality and reliability thanks to various innovations:
The high-precision guides together with the MakerBot Replicator Smart Extruder increase the print quality. As a further optimization, the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D printer has an even more precise build platform.
The extended online-capable control panel (incl. readable error diagnostics) and the supported build plate calibration increase user-friendliness.
The built-in camera, app and cloud capability as well as USB, Ethernet and WLAN connections increase control and workflow.
Performance features
The ideal 3D printer for large projects –
With heated print chamber and extremely flat build plate
Heated installation space
The enclosed and heated build chamber of the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D printer is designed to produce large models with minimal warpage.
Extra flat building board
The high-precision building board leads to even greater reliability and optimized adhesion between objects and the building board.
Enormous building volume
Objects up to a height of 45.7 cm can now be printed. The total build volume is 42,475 cubic centimetres.
Smart Extruder+
The MakerBot Smart Extruder+ is easy to attach and replace. It has been tested for over 160,000 hours to deliver consistent performance and best results with MakerBot PLA filament.
The MakerBot Smart Extruder+
- is easy to replace
- detects the absence of filament and stops printing automatically
- Sends messages to MakerBot Desktop and the MakerBot Mobile apps
4 connection options
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 can be controlled in four ways. In addition to the connection via USB stick and USB cable, it can also be integrated into a network via Ethernet or WLAN. This allows access from different workstations / users and offers maximum convenience in terms of mobility.
Built-in camera
Monitor your 3D print
with the built-in camera.
Access the camera via MakerBot Desktop or
MakerBot Mobile Apps.
Take photos of your print and save
the images in your MakerBot “Cloud” library
(also ideal for sharing your prints on social networks).
Mobile control
The MakerBot Mobile App is free and easy to use.
It allows remote control and monitoring of the printing process via a built-in digital camera.
Notifications and warnings from the printer are sent as a message.
LCD control panel
A built-in 3.5-inch color LCD control panel with intuitive dial increases user-friendliness.
It provides access to the data library and shows a preview of the 3D models.
The built-in control modules and detectors help to set up and manage the printer.
Cloud connection
Operate and control your MakerBot Replicator Z18 wherever you want with the MakerBot Mobile app. Send your print jobs via Wi-Fi or the USB cable included in the scope of delivery.
Fully supported software
Free to download. Use the free MakerBot Desktop software to manage, share and discover your 3D designs and prints.
Supported calibration
The MakerBot Replicator Z18 automatically determines the deviation and gives you visual support for calibrating the build platform.
