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
New optimized cooling
LED status indicators
Complex designswith reliabledual 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 most reliable dual extrusion machines on the market.
Water-soluble support structures help you build intricate structures, complex mechanical parts and smooth surfaces.
Choosethe perfectmaterial
Ultimaker 3’s range of materials are formulated to achieve superior results. Optimized Ultimaker Cura profiles offer the best
print settings per material and recognize which print core and material you’re using. The open filament system lets you experiment
with all kinds of materials to empower your business.
Optimized for:
Nylon
Flexible, durable, corrosion-resistant
Nylon (polyamide) is a manufacturer’s favorite. With high strength-to-weight ratio, low-friction and flexibility,
it’s ideal for 3D printing tools, functional prototypes and end-use products.

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.
