Small in size, but big in print quality. The Ultimaker 3 is a powerful, entry-level 3D printer. Materials for printing consist primarily of Ultimaker-compatible PLA plastic. See a list of commonly used 3D printing filament. For other specialty filament such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), contact the Makers Lab, or check with staff for availability.
Attending the monthly 3D Printing Part I pop-up is recommended prior to using the Ultimaker.
