Sub-micron additive manufacturing
The D4200S printer is capable of a 20nm print resolution and aims to expand the range of technology available to researchers and engineers while pushing the boundaries of additive manufacturing (AM) solutions.
Leveraging scanning probe nanotechnology, the D4200S prioritizes versatility, ease, and precision. The printer’s nano-deposition mode is capable of printing between 20nm to 250μm and achieves ultimate printing positional accuracy at less than 1nm. With its high-speed micro-deposition mode, the D4200S dispenses functional materials with feature sizes ranging from 5μm to 400μm.
The D4200S print heads accommodate gold, silver, copper, polymers, metallic oxides, organic compounds, and photosensitive polymers. Specifically engineered to enable advanced innovations, the D4200S includes atomic force microscopy (AFM) capabilities for analysis, nano writing, and patented 3D printing technology, enabling users to print computer chips or set foundational advancements for complex biological structures. Users can also utilize the D4200S for maskless lithography, mask repair, and tissue engineering.

Brand transformation
Ultimaker and MakerBot are reforming their brands following last year’s merger. The new brand identity reflects the company’s strategic vision to drive adoption of desktop 3D printing solutions and introduces a new product architecture.
Under the UltiMaker brand, the S and Method series printers will support manufacturing, product development, and other professional applications. The S series will continue to offer the widest variety of materials, while the Method series will focus on more specific manufacturing applications that can benefit from access to a heated chamber, specialty high thermoplastics materials, and a high level of dimensional accuracy.
Meanwhile, the MakerBot brand will remain operational as a sub-brand within the education sector, with the MakerBot Sketch series targeted at K-12 learning.
