MakerBot Clean Air System HEPA Filtration for METHOD 3D Printers
The MakerBot Clean Air System is a smart-controlled HEPA filtration accessory designed specifically for the METHOD and METHOD X 3D printer series. This top-level filtration unit sits neatly on top of your printer and removes up to 95% of ultra-fine particles from the air during the printing process, ensuring a cleaner, safer workspace when working with engineering-grade materials. With seamless integration into the METHOD's intuitive workflow, the Clean Air System automatically controls filtration based on ambient conditions, chamber temperature, and model material.
Key Features
-
HEPA Filtration Technology: Removes up to 95% of ultra-fine particles (UFPs) from the air, protecting users from harmful remnants generated during 3D printing
-
Smart Control Integration: Plugs directly into the METHOD's onboard computer for automatic throttling based on material type and chamber temperature
-
Easy Filter Replacement: Slide-out filter housing design makes replacement quick and simple when the printer alerts you through its touch display
-
Universal Compatibility: Works with METHOD, METHOD X, METHOD Carbon Fiber, and METHOD X Carbon Fiber 3D printers
Smart HEPA Filtration for a Safer Workspace
The Clean Air System is engineered to keep your working environment pristine even when 3D printing with advanced engineering materials. The top-of-the-line HEPA filter is designed to capture ultra-fine particles that can be released during the printing process. Internal testing at UltiMaker shows the system removes up to 95% of UFPs compared to printing without the accessory, leaving your workspace as clean – if not cleaner – than before you started.
Seamless Integration & Automatic Control
Unlike aftermarket filtration solutions, the Clean Air System integrates directly with your METHOD 3D printer's computer. It automatically controls the HEPA lid and accounts for ambient conditions, chamber temperature, and model material to provide optimal environmental conditions both inside the build chamber and out. The system throttles filtration up or down depending on your print job's requirements, giving you environmentally safe conditions without manual intervention.
Easy Maintenance & Filter Alerts
When it's time to replace your filters, the Clean Air System will notify you directly through your METHOD 3D printer's touch display. The filter slides easily out of the housing, allowing for quick replacement with minimal downtime. This intelligent alert system ensures you maintain peak filtration performance throughout the life of your printer.
