【3D Printing News】Ten Years, Four Hundred Employees: The Rise of Ultimaker!
As technology advances, 3D printing continues to integrate into our lives, with its presence seen across various industries. Among them, "Ultimaker" is leading the industry to the forefront of technology, becoming a multinational enterprise with over four hundred employees in just ten years. How did the team achieve its current success?
Founded in the Netherlands in 2010, the 3D printing manufacturing company "Ultimaker" primarily produces FDM 3D printers, 3D printing filaments, and slicing software. Initially, there were only three founders: Martijn Elserman, Erik de Bruijn, and Siert Wijnia. Now, Ultimaker has a professional team of over 400 people worldwide, not including its distribution partners globally.
Ultimaker's First 3D Printer
In 2011, Ultimaker's first 3D printer, the "Ultimaker Protobox," was born, opening the door for 3D printing to the world. In less than 10 years, the Ultimaker team successively developed the Ultimaker Original, Ultimaker 2+, Ultimaker S3, Ultimaker S5, and the latest Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle.
