Ultimaker 3 Extended 3D Printer

Ultimaker's focus on making 3D printing as user-friendly as possible has resulted in seamless hardware, software and material integration that enables simple and efficient workflow, as well as maximum machine uptime. Ultimaker 3 is setting the new benchmark for professional desktop 3D printing once again and is making professional 3D printing accessible to everyone.

Features

• Complete design freedom
• Reliable dual extrusion with water-soluble support
• High uptime and fast changeovers with swappable print cores
• Cohesive 3D printing ecosystem and connectivity

The Print Head

Dual Extrusion

• Combine build and water-soluble support materials to create complex mechanical parts and intricate surfaces or choose to print with two colors. Ultimaker 3’s unique auto nozzle-lifting system ensures a smooth, professional finish with every print.

Swappable Print Cores

• Faster print core changes mean higher uptime and easier maintenance. Your Ultimaker 3 comes with print cores for build (AA) and water-soluble support (BB) materials.

New Optimised Cooling

• Ultimaker 3 has a powerful, low-noise fan system. Featuring two new radial fans and fan shrouds, it creates greater pressure build-up for improved airflow. This ensures better cooling, high-quality bridging, faster print runs, and smooth print surfaces.

LED Status Indicators

• Print core LED lights ensure an optimized 3D printing experience by alerting if any user interaction is needed.

Superior 3D Printing Experience

Optimised Cura material profiles

•  Extensively tested preconfigured Cura profiles make for a smoother, more seamless 3D printing experience by automatically adjusting the necessary settings for each material and print core. Produce consistent, quality results with every print

Material recognition with NFC scanner

• Built-in material recognition system ensures your 3D printer is primed and ready for the task. Ultimaker 3 detects and identifies the material on the reel holder and checks the correspondence of a filament and print core type being used

EEPROM print core chip

• The EEPROM chip in the print core memorizes the size and type of your nozzle, notifies you in case of misuse and, as a result, helps achieve higher print success rates

Simple Controls and Connectivity

USB port

• Enjoy standalone printing using a USB stick (16GB included)

Wi-Fi / LAN

• Send your print project quickly and easily to your Ultimaker 3 via Cura

Live camera

• Monitor every stage of your 3D printing project remotely by simply connecting to your Ultimaker 3’s Wi-Fi network. The result? Optimised workflow and exceptional control

Heated Build Plate

Active leveling

• The capacitive sensor in the print head measures distances between the print bed and the nozzle, and the tilt angle is compensated by adjusting the z height in the first layers. The result? More accurate levelling and improved build plate adhesion

Newly refined design

• The Ultimaker 3 features a build plate that’s lighter and stiffer, which reduces vibrations and helps produce an unrivaled print quality. The removable glass plate makes it easy to access your prints

Heated build plate

• Thanks to the heated glass build plate, you can print using many different materials and with improved build plate adhesion

Feeder

Dual geared feeders

• Geared feeders exert more force on the filament, and also eliminate heat exposure from the motor. Change your 3D printing materials with ease, select the correct pressure with a push on a button, and use the lever function to manually insert or remove a filament. More control means more successful, reliable and durable 3D print results, without compromise

Industrial Grade Materials

Ultimaker materials

• Print with a wide range of materials, including Ultimaker Nylon, PLA, Tough PLA, ABS, CPE, CPE+, PC, TPU 95A, PP and PVA (also supports 3rd party materials). Combine two build materials for dual-colour 3D prints or achieve state-of-the-art complexity with build and water-soluble support material combinations (Nylon/PVA, PLA/PVA, and CPE/PVA).

NFC material scanner

• Your Ultimaker 3 identifies the material that is being loaded and checks the correspondence of the filament and print core type you are using. Coupled with our extensively tested preconfigured material profiles in Cura, the Ultimaker 3’s material recognition system ensures your 3D printer is set for the highest-quality results

Open filament system

• With our integrated ecosystem of reliable hardware, extensively tested materials and cutting-edge software, you are guaranteed the highest level results and optimized 3D printing experience. Yet, thanks to the Ultimaker open filament system, you have the freedom to try and test other types of existing filaments or manufacture your custom solution that would match your specific requirements

Complex Designs with Reliable Dual Extrusion

Create sophisticated models and intricate geometries like this Gyro by Virtox – and remove supports by resting the print in water, without leaving a trace. Ultimaker 3D printers are the most reliable dual extrusion machines on the market.

Water-soluble support structures help you build intricate structures, complex mechanical parts, and smooth surfaces.

High Uptime, Low Maintenance

Together with optimized Ultimaker Cura profiles, advanced material recognition system, and material-matching swappable print cores, Ultimaker 3 is engineered for high uptime and reliable, industrial-grade results. And with Cura Connect you can now manage multiple 3D printers from your desktop.

To reduce time to market, we set up a print farm of around 20 Ultimaker 3 machines to 3D print the improved reel holders with a new, improved design. Used as an additive manufacturing system, the first Ultimaker 3 printers proved to be production-ready, reliable, and able to deliver results.
