Ultimaker 2+ Connect

Start 3D printing the Ultimaker way

A seamless 3D printing workflow starts here. With networking capabilities and a new touchscreen, the Ultimaker 2+ Connect is your reliable first step into our world of easy, remote 3D printing.

Features summary

Sometimes single extrusion simplicity is all you need. The Ultimaker 2+ Connect builds upon the award-winning benchmark of its predecessor, to add intuitive operation and deeper software connectivity.

• Build volume: 223 x 220 x 205 mm (8.7 x 8.6 x 8 inches)
• Network connectivity via Wi-Fi or Ethernet enables remote printing over the cloud with added security
• Easy control with the 2.4-inch color touchscreen
• Ultimaker 2+ Connect Air Manager (sold separately) removes up to 95% of ultrafine particles and shields the print area

Hit the ground printing

Want a finished print from day one? Unbox and connect three components, and get started via the new touchscreen. This speedy setup even makes installing multiple 3D printers effortless.

And register your Ultimaker 2+ Connect to access an exclusive 30-minute onboarding course taught by Ultimaker experts, who walkthrough installation, Ultimaker Cura, and maintenance.

High uptime. Low maintenance

Since 2015, over 6 million prints have been prepared for its predecessor. And the Ultimaker 2+ Connect improves on that workhorse legacy.

A clean and updated design keeps maintenance to a minimum – just 20 minutes per month, without the need for special tools.

And when it comes to changeovers, switch out swappable nozzles in less than 5 minutes for high uptime, from 0.25 mm for detailed prints up to 0.8 mm for fast drafts or 3D sketches.

Cloud 3D printing built in

At home, in the office or classroom, easily send print jobs to the Ultimaker 2+ Connect. Via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, cloud 3D printing allows remote file transfer with added security from anywhere in the world.

And with Ultimaker Marketplace, customize your slicing experience with plugins (including CAD integration) for a simpler 3D printing workflow.

Small enterprises that want big savings

What if iterations could take just 8 hours instead of 80? That's the power of connected in-house 3D printing. And it's made possible with the Ultimaker 2+ Connect.

Test your ideas for less – by 3D printing prototypes with your choice of affordable materials. On average, Ultimaker customers achieve more than 80% cost savings compared to outsourcing.

Educators who want to equip more students with future skills

The Ultimaker 2+ Connect is an ideal 3D printer to give more higher education students access to additive technology. Easily install multiple machines to facilitate students' projects – perfect for general access 3D printing labs.

With its simple workflow, the Ultimaker 2+ Connect is the ideal machine for giving a wide range of students access to additive technology – no matter their skill level.
