The Ultimaker 3, Ultimaker S3 and Ultimaker S5 series printers offer a carefully designed integration between materials, hardware and software. These printers are able to detect what type of filament is loaded by using Near Field Communication. Also, the newest version of Cura comes with specially optimized profiles that synchronize with the filament. Each profile is the result of Ultimaker's extensive testing to find the best possible settings. Simply put: you can start producing high-quality 3D prints immediately.
Ultimaker NFC Nylon possesses all the traits manufacturers have come to love about Nylon: exceptionally high durability, very high strength-to-weight ratio, corrosion resistance, and low friction coefficient. Additionally, Ultimaker Nylon has been formulated to absorb less humidity than other, competitive Nylon filaments. Best of all, it's optimized to perform well on Ultimaker 3D printers.
NOTE: for the best possible results, we strongly recommend using the Ultimaker Advanced Printing Kit with this filament when used with the Ultimaker 3 or Ultimaker 3 Extended.
Made By Ultimaker with Ultimaker Specs In Mind
At 3D Universe, we've seen a tremendous amount of interest in Ultimaker's proprietary brand of filament. While other brands of filament will perform well with Ultimaker 3D printers, for institutional buyers wanting to conform as closely as possible with the manufacturer's exact specifications, Ultimaker filament is often the most logical choice.
IMPORTANT NOTE ON COMPATIBILITY
Automatic material detection with this filament will only work when used with the UltiMaker 3 and UltiMaker S-Line series printers.
Ultimaker has ensured both backward and forward compatibility between their materials and 3D printers, both newer and past.
The new Ultimaker NFC 2.85 mm filament is 100% compatible with Ultimaker 2+, Ultimaker 2 Extended+, Ultimaker 2 Go and the Ultimaker Original+ Kit.
The difference is that you will only get the benefit of automatic material detection when using the Ultimaker NFC 2.85 mm filament exclusively with the UltiMaker 3 or UltiMaker S-Line series printers.
Nothing will impact your 3D printing results like the kind of filament you use. Good filament is highly consistent in diameter, is wound evenly onto the spool with just the right amount of tension, and will not tangle when being unwound. 3D Universe offers a wide range of high-quality filaments to choose from.
