(AMSTERDAM, NL)- Ultimaker, a leading 3D printer manufacturer, announces the launch of the Ultimaker Go and Ultimaker Extended, two cutting-edge desktop 3D printers. Built with premium parts and materials, these 3D printers bring imagination to life with high definition printing technology. The new Ultimaker Go and Ultimaker Extended follow the success of the top-rated Ultimaker, which was awarded best in shootout 2015 from Make Magazine and best consumer product at the 3D Printshow global awards 2014.
"After receiving recognition and awards from the leaders in the industry, we were inspired to make these new versions of the ground breaking Ultimaker, supporting our vision to aim for the ultimate 3D printing experience," says Siert Wijnia, CEO of Ultimaker, "The Ultimaker Go is a compact printer that is easy to use as a starting printer while the Ultimaker Extended has added a ten centimeter larger build volume for users who want to create larger and more complex projects."
The two newest desktop 3D printers in Ultimakers collection include the following:
Ultimaker Go (€1195,- / $1450,-)* The mighty mini 3D printer: This compact 3D printer is the perfect solution for makers who want to start with 3D printing on a premium level. This lightweight Ultimaker Go offers a high-quality product with a friendly interface which makes it an ideal starter machine for new users. Through its slimmed design, together with its dedicated portable packaging, it is the perfect 3D printer for the maker on-the-go and allows people to use it easily in different contexts. Because of its compact design and allowing a quick start the Ultimaker² Go is not equipped with a heated bed. You can now start your print even faster.
Ultimaker Extended (€2495,- / $3030,-)* Think large, Print Big: For those who just want a little bit more than the best. The Ultimaker Extended boasts some of the highest speed and accuracy found on any desktop 3D printer, with speeds of up to 300mm/s, 0.02mm layer resolution and a 10 cm (4 inches) larger build volume. This larger desktop printer makes a statement at any workspace with its sleek design.
The launch of these two new products is accompanied by an addition to the Ultimaker website that provides a stage for community members to share their projects and get inspiration from others. This addition gives 3D printing enthusiasts the unique opportunity to get insight on upcoming Ultimaker projects, interact with Ultimaker experts and influence decisions on new experimental products, contributing to the whole Ultimaker 3D printing experience.

Featured Product
3D Vision: Ensenso B now also available as a mono version!
This compact 3D camera series combines a very short working distance, a large field of view and a high depth of field - perfect for bin picking applications. With its ability to capture multiple objects over a large area, it can help robots empty containers more efficiently. Now available from IDS Imaging Development Systems. In the color version of the Ensenso B, the stereo system is equipped with two RGB image sensors. This saves additional sensors and reduces installation space and hardware costs. Now, you can also choose your model to be equipped with two 5 MP mono sensors, achieving impressively high spatial precision. With enhanced sharpness and accuracy, you can tackle applications where absolute precision is essential. The great strength of the Ensenso B lies in the very precise detection of objects at close range. It offers a wide field of view and an impressively high depth of field. This means that the area in which an object is in focus is unusually large. At a distance of 30 centimetres between the camera and the object, the Z-accuracy is approx. 0.1 millimetres. The maximum working distance is 2 meters. This 3D camera series complies with protection class IP65/67 and is ideal for use in industrial environments.
