Ultimaker launched Ultimaker Cloud, a platform that supports the professional 3D printing workflow. The first cloud services that are offered are remote 3D printing, unlimited access to the Marketplace, Marketplace ratings, and the possibility to backup user settings for remote access. Ultimaker Cloud will be available March 19th 2019 together with Ultimaker Cura 4.0, which features an updated user interface.
The rapid adoption of 3D printing increases the need for a platform solution that simplifies the user workflow and ensures compatibility with a variety of software applications and materials. The open strategy of Ultimaker enables key industry partners, such as leading CAD providers and material manufacturers, to integrate with Ultimaker Cloud. These integrations will provide even more value for users, resulting in a hassle-free, reliable, and seamless 3D printing experience.
