Printer properties

Layer resolution

A micron is the measurement used to define the thickness of a 3D printed layer. 20 micron is 0.02 mm thick. Thinner layers are used for high-detail prints, thicker layers are great for fast prototypes.

Nozzle temperature

A wide nozzle temperature range means greater flexibility in the 3D printing material choice.

max 280° C

Nozzle heat-up time

The nozzle heat-up time relates to how fast you can start printing, as well as how fast it can melt the polymer filament.

< 2 minutes

Operating sound

Thanks to their quiet operation, Ultimaker 3D printers are suitable for use in the office, studio, or classroom environment.

< 51 dBA

Build plate leveling

Achieve consistent accuracy with mesh leveling, a leveling process that compensates for height variations across the build plate.

25 point automatic mesh leveling

Build plate

Simply bend the build plate and your 3D printed parts pop off.
