- | 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%. | + | The Ultimaker printers are FDM filament-fed 3D printers.

The Form 3 printer is a SLA resin printer capable of very high precision. Using UV light to cure the resin bath, layer lines are less pronounced with slice heights from 25-100 microns depending on the resin. | The Form 3 printer is a SLA resin printer capable of very high precision.
