Ultimaker 2+ Connect

Small enterprises that want big savings

What if iterations could take just 8 hours instead of 80? That's the power of connected in-house 3D printing. And it's made possible with the Ultimaker 2+ Connect. Test your ideas for less – by 3D printing prototypes with your choice of affordable 3D printing materials. On average, Ultimaker customers achieve more than 80% cost savings compared to outsourcing. Gain the freedom and flexibility to experiment more. During development phases, 3D printing can provide up to a 20x capability enhancement to iterate on new ideas and products.

Simplicity, hit the ground running !

Sometimes single extrusion simplicity is all you need. The Ultimaker 2+ Connect builds upon the award-winning benchmark of its predecessor, to add intuitive operation and deeper software connectivity. Thousands of designers and educators love Ultimaker technology because it just keeps working – day and night, year after year. Since 2015, over 6 million prints have been prepared for its predecessor. And the Ultimaker 2+ Connect improves on that workhorse legacy.

Ultimaker 3D printing materials and limitless third-party filaments
