What is UltiMaker?
UltiMaker is a Dutch 3D printer manufacturer headquartered in Utrecht, Netherlands, founded in 2011 and now operating alongside its MakerBot brand. The S series (S3, S5, S7, S8) offers dual-extrusion desktop FDM printers with swappable print cores and active bed leveling, while the Method series adds a heated build chamber for engineering materials such as ABS, ASA, and carbon-fiber composites, up to the large-format Method XL.
UltiMaker Cura, a free open-source slicer, prepares models for printing, and the cloud based Digital Factory platform adds remote monitoring, fleet management, and a documented API for connecting printers to other business systems. Printers are sold as one-time hardware purchases, with prices running from roughly $3,000 for the S3 up to $14,000 for the industrial Method XL.
