You can also switch out swappable nozzles in less than 5 minutes for high uptime, choosing between 0.25 mm for detailed prints, 0.8 mm for fast drafts or 3D sketches, 0.6 mm, or 0.4 mm.
Cloud 3D printing built in
With the Ultimaker 2+ Connect, you can leverage the full power of Ultimaker’s digital workflow. You’ll enjoy the benefits of:
- Ultimaker Digital Factory. Via Ultimaker Digital Factory, share the Ultimaker 2+ Connect with your co-workers to increase uptime. Then remotely monitor your print job to know when it's complete
- Ultimaker Marketplace. Ultimaker Marketplace lets you customize your slicing experience with plugins (including CAD integration) for a simpler 3D printing workflow
- Ultimaker 3D Printing Academy. By registering your Ultimaker 2+ Connect, you’ll be eligible for a free onboarding course with the Ultimaker 3D Printing Academy, our e-learning platform that teaches the ins and outs of 3D printing
Upgrade your peace of mind
The optional Ultimaker 2+ Connect Air Manager gives you more confidence and setup flexibility. Designed to simply and effectively increase user safety, it removes up to 95% of ultrafine particles (UFPs) and shields users from hot and moving components.
