The Ultimaker Material Alliance Program

Ultimaker材料联盟计划旨在实现与Ultimaker 3D打印机兼容的一系列工程材料。该计划的创始成员包括材料和化学公司DSM,BASFand杜邦.

在该计划下,德克萨斯州3D打印过程和材料提供商Essentium正在为其提供Ultimaker打印资料Ultrafuse Z PCTGmaterial, available to download in the Ultimaker Cura marketplace. The material is electrostatic discharge (ESD) safe, with the aim of allowing engineers and designers in the electronics industry to benefit from desktop 3D printing.

“我们与世界上最大的化学生产商巴斯夫合作创建了Ultrafuse-Z系列,这是一系列由Essentium提供动力的ESD安全丝。我们在Ultimaker Marketplace中为Ultrafuse-Z PCTG提供材料打印概况。” CEO Essentium首席执行官Blake Teipel博士说。

Integrating Cura into the Cloud

UltimakerCura software is designed to prepare models for 3D printing, bolstered by工作流在tegrationbetween third party CAD applicationsincluding扎实的作品and西门子NX.Recently, Ultimaker announced that it would provide its Cura software, as well as its machines, tointernational aerospace companyAirbus,要在欧洲的设施中使用。

在Ultimaker的云更新中,将使用户可以访问备份,从而使Cura设置可以远程保存并从不同的计算机中应用于不同位置。用户还可以使用远程打印功能将打印作业发送给与网络功能集成的Ultimaker打印机。Concluding the announcement, Burger stated, “Ultimaker Cloud is a crucial next step in our journey to speed up the world’s transition to local digital manufacturing.”

“I have no doubt that our enabling platform, formed with our global network of software and material partners, makes Ultimaker the preferred solution in the desktop space.”
