UltiMaker 3D Printers
A Leading Innovator of Professional 3D Printers
Now Serving US & Canada 
From Desktop to Factory Floor
UltiMaker builds an ecosystem of professional FDM 3D printers, materials, and software that scales from the classroom to continuous factory production. Print functional prototypes, jigs, fixtures, and end-use parts in-house on dual-extrusion S series printers, step up to industrial throughput with the Factor 4 Plus, or bring fast, safe PLA printing to any team with the MakerBot Sketch Sprint. Every printer runs on UltiMaker Cura and Digital Factory, so your workflow stays the same as you grow.
Dual Extrusion, Any Two Materials
Pair build and support materials, including water-soluble PVA, to print complex geometries with minimal waste and high reliability.
300+ Materials, Open Platform
Print everything from PLA and PETG to carbon fiber composites, PPS CF, and 17-4 PH stainless steel with the Metal Expansion Kit.
Speed Without Compromise
The Cheetah motion planner delivers up to 500 mm/s travel speed on the S8 and S6 while holding a ±0.15 mm dimensional accuracy.
Connected, Secure Ecosystem
Prepare prints in UltiMaker Cura, then queue, monitor, and manage every printer from Digital Factory over your network or the cloud.

Frequently Asked Questions
UltiMaker divides its portfolio by build environment and production speed. The industrial Factor 4 Plus is built for factory-floor production with an actively heated chamber (up to 70°C) and 340°C dual extrusion for high-performance composites and metal filaments; the S-Series (S8, S8 Pro Bundle, S6, and S3) serves as the core engineering workhorse for versatile office and R&D prototyping across 300+ materials; and the Sketch Sprint is optimized for ultra-fast, reliable PLA printing in educational and rapid-iteration desktop settings.
UltiMaker printers connect directly into engineering workflows via UltiMaker Cura and UltiMaker Digital Factory. Native plugins allow teams using SOLIDWORKS, Autodesk Inventor, or Siemens NX to slice and launch prints directly from their CAD window without exporting STL files, while the cloud-based Digital Factory platform enables secure fleet management, print queue scheduling, live monitoring, and automated material profiles across single desktop units or enterprise-wide deployments.
UltiMaker's quick-swappable print cores let operators change setup configurations in seconds without tools. The ecosystem includes dedicated cores for standard polymers (AA), soluble supports (BB), and abrasive carbon-fiber composites (wear-resistant CC), and high-temperature industrial materials (HT). Once inserted, the printer and UltiMaker Cura automatically detect the core type, nozzle size, and optimzed material profile, eliminating manual calibration errors and enabling reliable dual-extursion printing.
