Ultimaker introduces optimised 3D printing material profiles for BASF, Clariant, DuPont and more

Desktop 3D printing leader, Ultimaker, has announced the availability of the first 3D printing material profiles from leading material companies including BASF, Clariant, DSM, and DuPont, in Ultimaker Cura 3.6.
The latest version of its free print preparation software offers a Marketplace where users can easily install print profiles, fully optimized for Ultimaker machines, to ensure high-quality 3D print results. The news, unveiled at Formnext 2018, builds on announcements made at TCT Show in September where Ultimaker introduced additions to its Material Alliance Program and CC Red 0.6 print core which allows users to print with composite and abrasive materials.
New material print profiles in Ultimaker Cura 3.6 include BASF’s PP GF30, applicable for parts used in environments which require chemical resistance, such as piping applications or automotive applications under the hood. In addition, PET CF is an easy-to-process carbon fibre reinforced material, suitable for lightweight, strong, and stiff parts that require an impact resistance, such as drones.
