ABOUT THE MAKERBOT REPLICATOR Z18

The MakerBot Replicator Z18 makes solid, three-dimensional objects out of melted

MakerBotPLA Filament. First, use MakerBot Desktop to translate 3D design ﬁles into

instructions for theMakerBot Replicator Z18. Then transfer those instructions to the

MakerBot Replicator Z18 via USB drive, USB cable, ethernet, or Wi-Fi.

The MakerBot Replicator Z18 will melt MakerBot PLA Filament and squeeze it out onto

the build plate in thin lines to build your object layer by layer. With the huge build volume

of the MakerBot Replicator Z18, this part of the process can take a long time. The method of 3D

printing used by the MakerBot Replicator Z18 is called fused deposition modeling.
