HOW THE MAKERBOT METHOD WORKS
The MakerBot Method makes three-dimensional objects out of different types of melted materials. First,
download a model from the internet or design a part, then use MakerBot Print to translate 3D design files into
a .makerbot file, which creates instructions for the MakerBot printer. Then, transfer the .makerbot file to the
MakerBot printer via your local network, USB drive, or USB cable.
The MakerBot Method will melt materials and extrude it out onto the build plate in thin lines to build your
object layer by layer. The heated build chamber allows the extruded material to cool slowly, minimizing
warping and curling. This 3D printing technology is called fused deposition modeling (FDM).
