The widest material choice on the market
Advanced 3D printing materials: The choice is yours
Unlimited material choice
Make your application meet the demands of the real world by printing it with advanced polymers and composites. Any 2.85 mm filament works with Ultimaker hardware, and an expanding selection of materials with print profiles from the Ultimaker Marketplace guarantee print success every time.
"We require 3D printing materials with good mechanical properties to withstand wear and tear of our punching and metal forming solutions. Thanks to Ultimaker’s open filament system, we are able to use dedicated materials in order to print serial parts."
Paolo Matassoni, Head of R&D, Andritz Metals
