 =====Which 3D Printer is Best for my part?=====
-Depending on the geometry of a part, its application, and its environment a particular 3D printer or material may be desirable to use due to its properties. While many different printers may work for a particular job, selecting the wrong printer may lead to drastically overpaying or overbuilding a part for its application. On the other hand using the wrong printer and material could lead to part warping due to moisture after instillation, or even print failure due to material geometry confliction. Selecting the right printer and material can go a long way to creating successful, long lasting parts.

 =====Ultimaker=====
-The Ultimaker printers are FDM filament fed 3D printers. Each has two extruders set up with build and support material with a tip width of .25,.4,.6 and .8 mm available. Layer lines are visible with this printer with slice heights of 60-200 micron, and this printer can print variable infill from 10% to 100%.
