Considered among the sectors pioneers, Ultimaker is currently one of the leading manufacturers of FDM 3D printing, with thousands of machines installed in the factories of large industrial groups, tech startups, makers’ garages and even army workshops. With several generations of machines to its name, Ultimaker currently offers a three 3D printers: the Ultimaker S5, the most advanced of the manufacturer’s models; the Ultimaker S3, a younger sibling of the S5; as well as the Ultimaker 2+ Connect, the entry-level model, a rejuvenated version of the 3D printer which accounts for the brand’s success in recent years.
In addition to this range, the Dutch manufacturer now offers a professional pack called the Pro Bundle which is an improved version of the Ultimaker S5 3D printer. Ultimaker has thus conceived two new pieces of equipment, the Material Station and the Air Manager, which aim to improve the quality of the parts and the Ultimaker experience more generally. The cost of the complete pack, including the S5 3D printer as well as the two additional pieces of equipment, is $ 10,090 including tax (instead of $ 5,995 including tax for the 3D printer alone).
After having tested and given a very good rating to the Ultimaker S5 3D printer (to be found HERE) a few months ago, 3Dnatives is back with the test of the Pro Bundle Pack. So how does the Material Station and the Air Manager work? What are the improvements does the Pro Bundle make? Find our answers in the test below.
