UltiMaker TRACE Technical Reporting And Certification Engine

Total print transparency for strict compliance standards.

Go beyond basic monitoring to provide the level of traceability required for rigorous industrial compliance. Throughout the entire print job, TRACE continuously logs and analyzes four key parameters. By monitoring this specific dataset in real time, the engine can instantly detect minor thermal or volumetric deviations that might affect part quality, layer adhesion, or mechanical performance.

Continuously log and analyze four key parameters:


Extrusion factor,


Nozzle temperature,


Chamber temperature,


Build plate temperature.

Onboard structural integrity validation

After every print job, receive an in-depth report on extrusion parameters deviations from nominal values, their locations, and their severity in the 3D model. Using a suite of sensors in the print head, build chamber, and material loading system, this print process reporting helps to verify and validate part quality before use in the field.

Measure everything

Using a suite of sensors in the print head, build chamber, and material loading system, this printer generates a quality report for each print, helping you to validate the quality and make sure the part is up to your standards. No guessing and no need for time consuming QC.
