Ultimaker 3 opens up a world of new 3D printing possibilities. Translate your vision into reality - without compromising on efficiency, reliability or precision. Now that you can achieve greater print complexity, the question is – what will you create?

• 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

Superior 3D printing experience

Optimized 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 spool 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.

Ultimaker 3 app: With the Ultimaker 3 app, you can start and monitor 3D prints at a tap of the finger, via your smartphone or tablet. Ultimaker 3’s integrated camera makes it easy to check print progress, and our online slicing service lets you slice models with ease.

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 support (BB) materials. There’s a customized nozzle geometry per material – ensuring lower clogging risks and a more reliable 3D printing experience.

New optimized 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 an 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.

The 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 leveling and improved build plate adhesion.

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

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

Simple controls and connectivity

USB port: Enjoy standalone printing using a USB stick (16GB included).

WiFi/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? Optimized workflow and exceptional control.
