The Dutch 3D printer manufacturer with world fame
UltiMaker, founded in 2011, is a brand of Dutch soil, which has become known worldwide by its professional 3D-printers. This is something we have always appreciated with our production background. After all, the most important thing is that something does it when you need it!
UltiMaker 3D printers are designed in a way that parts can be exchanged quickly (e.g. nozzles, bowden tubes and heating blocks).
Now 14 years later it is still a Dutch company. The more than 300 employees are mainly employed at the head office in Geldermalsen, where R&D activities also take place. The production is carried out a few kilometers further in Zaltbommel, between Utrecht and Den Bosch.
As of 2025, UltiMaker is a merged company between UltiMaker and MakerBot and continues to grow in the industrial FFF 3D printer market. The UltiMaker Factor 4 is its first major result: an affordable 3D printer that can reliably produce high-quality prints with demanding plastics such as PEKK and PPS-CF.
Print profiles and software
UltiMaker has also been able to build up his own material offerings over the years, with NFC recognition that immediately selects the good print profile. These profiles are also constantly updated to make the most of the latest software updates and machines.
UltiMaker is an open system, so it is possible to print any existing filament on the market. Meer dan 350 merken together with UltiMaker have also developed unique print profiles that with a few clicks are right in the free slicer software.. gedownload kunnen worden.
This “slicer” allows you to translate 3D models into code that the printer can run layer by layer in order to achieve the final model.
Printfarms and safety
