MakerBot Replicator Z18
With the MakerBot Replicator Z18 you can print high-resolution, industrial-quality prototypes bigger than ever.The MakerBot Replicator Z18 makes solid, three-dimensional objects out of melted 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 filament and squeeze it out onto the build plate in thin lines to build your object layer by layer.
MakerBot® Desktop is a free app for preparing 3D print sand managing your 3D content. Whether you print directly to the MakerBot Replicator Z18 3D Printer via USB cable, Wi-Fi or Ethernet, or you export your print files to a USB drive, MakerBot Desktop is where all your prints will begin.
