Ultimaker, a leading 3D printer manufacturer based in Geldermalsen, Netherlands, has launched two new 3D printers – the new Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+ are both based on the company’s popular Ultimaker 2 family of 3D printers.
Ultimaker provides tools to efficiently support a full infrastructure of 3D printers, software and materials, strengthened by integration with key industry partners such as Solidworks, Spark, the 3MF Consortium and leading global manufacturers. More innovations are expected in 2016, said the OEM.
“We’re excited to release two new 3D printers at CES this year,” said Jos Burger, Chief Executive Officer of Ultimaker. “The Ultimaker 2+ and Ultimaker 2 Extended+ are the results of countless collaborations and insightful feedback we’ve received from the Ultimaker community. Both printers feature crucial upgrades based on what our customers are looking for in a 3D printer.”
Following are the upgraded features on both models:
- Interchangeable nozzles: Freedom to change nozzles in a matter of seconds makes working with different materials easier, eases maintenance and allows users to choose between highly detailed prints or high-speed prints.
- Optimized print results: With the inclusion of a more powerful geared feeder, printing materials are less likely to skip.
- Enhanced surface quality: Improved surface quality “with astonishing results” is now possible through improved cooling technology.
