There’s a new 3d printer on the block, and hot damn is it fast! Hailing from the Netherlands, the Ultimaker 3D Printer has finally hit US shores, and aims to give the MakerBot a run for its money.

The Ultimaker is a hobby class prototyping machine that heats up solid plastic to print 3D parts. In the Maker Lab we have two Ultimaker 3 Extended 3D printers.

For anyone who has ever used a Ultimaker, the interface for this printer will be very familiar. I’ll take my 3D printing cred now, thanks. Deep in my email inbox, dated almost exactly five years ...

More affordable than ever, 3D printers are booming for personal, professional, and educational use. Here's everything to know before you buy one, along with the top models from our hands-on testing.
