« About 3D printing »
3D printing is often called additive manufacturing as well. It’s a rapid prototyping technology which uses plastic filaments that are extruded under high temperatures. Layer by layer it 3D prints the physical object. Professionals and makers all around the world use Ultimaker 3D printers for rapid prototyping, engineering, product design, 3D printed art, jewelry, and in fashion, medicine and education. With several aftermarket or 3D printed add-ons you can even turn an Ultimaker into a food 3D printer.

These guys are awesome!

[@JoseGToyos]

awesome idea and video 3D printing is now our future! :)

[@3dmodelet986]

fantástico vídeo, me encantaria poder tener una, tiene muchas posibilidades!!

[@beastmac17]

Great video! What wood filament manufacturer do you use?

[@bradhouston4734]

Love this!

This is a brilliant video - we are just about to invest in an Ultimaker 3 for our Primary School.
I really love the idea of kids being able to take a sketch as they did with the facade design and draw over the top of it with the CAD software. What CAD software were they using in that part of the video?

[@Ultimaker]

Thanks for your interest, Mike! In which regards to the CAD software, if you are going to be working with young kids I would recommend you to start with something easy and intuitive, like Tinkercad. Besides that one, there is a variety of cad modelling tools available, and every software tool which can export as an STL would be suited for 3D printing, so SolidWorks, Fusion360, Blender, OpenSCAD or Rhino3D are also good options. You can take a look at this list for more ideas: all3dp.com/1/best-free-3d-modeling-software-3d-cad-3d-design-software/

[@itskrill]

What was being used in the video?

[@rayly80]

looks like sketchup.

[@afonsop3079]

Rhinoceros for tracing over the sketch (good control over curved lines by manipulating control points) and previously in the video Sketchup was also used

[@Nadirqm]

hey, whats the material used at 3:35? the terracotta coloured material? its perfect for something im working on right now

[@gregwoolliscroft6255]

amazing...

[@bipl8989]

A little more about the production process and model design would be great.

[@denufavourbon]

My name is Favour anf I'm a 200 level student of architecture... This video is great, I don rt know if I could be getting little tips on how to progress faster in my course, I will be looking forward for your reply

[@TeamMayku]

Nice

Kazakhstan keremet

[@nicholasicon]

I've been using a Bambu Lab printer and at 1/10 of the price compared to Ultimaker, it performs 10 times better. I dont see the justification in the cost of Ultimaker printers.

[@jamoliddinkomilov9282]

does anybody from AUD

[@pilladisimo87]

Modern buildings are the worst

[@Orthodoge]

Those three buildings you’re demolishing look better than yours
