The MakerBot Replicator Z18 combines an extra-large build volume with ease-of-use and connectivity features so you can go from 3D model to 3D print efficiently and easily. Optimized for MakerBot PLA filament, the Replicator Z18 can create extra-large, ultra-tall industrial prototypes, models, and products. You can also work on multiple designs at once by printing more than one file.

Minimized downtime and keep on 3D printing with a swappable, easy-to-use Smart Extruder. You can also upgrade to the Smart Extruder+. The 3D printer’s three connectivity options —USB, Wi-Fi, and Ethernet— allow for a seamless workflow. Cloud and app-enabled, the MakerBot Replicator Z18 connects to MakerBot’s software and wider resources to provide you with a refined, streamlined 3D printing experience so you can focus on making things bigger and better.
