Set innovation free in your business

Adopt enterprise grade software

Now you can empower everyone to 3D print at work. Share access to software that not only boosts 3D printing innovation, but that's also built based on our commitment to your security.

Accelerate growth

Ultimaker Essentials means you can now 3D print where you couldn't before. Even in regulated business environments, empower more people to innovate faster with a seamless 3D printing workflow – even if they are working from home.

E-learning and support for your success

Documentation, e-learning, or direct support – Ultimaker is here to help get your organisation up and running with a stable, easy-to-use 3D printing platform that works for you.

Ultimaker Cura Enterprise

The simplest and most seamless print preparation experience is now packaged for business. Designed to meet your IT department's expectations, distribute a tested, stable, and more secure slicing application to anywhere employees need to work – with reduced risk to your infrastructure. Features include:

Intent profiles print specific applications at the click of a button
Recommended profiles tested for thousands of hours ensure reliable results
'Custom mode' gives over 400 settings for granular control

Easy Distribution - Packaged for systems management

As part of your subscription, Ultimaker Cura Enterprise is downloadable in .MSI format, so you or IT can distribute, configure, and manage access across multiple platforms.

Only stable, tested updates

Ultimaker Cura Enterprise receives two updates a year. These are thoroughly tested by Ultimaker's community and ensure the most stable desktop application for the highest levels of continuity. Ultimaker supports updates for 12 months after release (including security patches and bug fixes).

Continuous security improvements

Each release of Ultimaker Cura Enterprise is independently scanned, tested, and analysed for vulnerabilities. Ultimaker publishes a summary of that report for Ultimaker Essentials customers and commit to continuously improving security.

Ultimaker Digital Factory

Manage Printers - Production strength in numbers

Set up multiple printers based on your workflow. See an overview of printers, material configurations, print jobs, and firmware versions for easy printer management.
For extra security, the firmware firewall lets you allow only cloud traffic from Ultimaker Digital Factory and block uncontrolled access via the local network (coming late 2020). This reduces the chance of malicious activity or eavesdropping.

Manage Users - Optimise 3D printing efficiency with teams sharing

Manage and share your 3D printers among teams within your business, all with granular control. By controlling who has access to 3D printing resources, you can help teams to optimise their production. For added security, you cannot share printers outside your organisation.

Queue Jobs - Make your printers work harder

Schedule print jobs from a centralised queue for maximum production uptime. Stay informed on print progress, printer status, and reprint from the job history to avoid re-slicing.

Remote Printing - Start 3D printing from anywhere in the world

Whether you're working from home or in the office, send secure print jobs via the cloud to Ultimaker 3D printers on your network. Then stay informed of print progress thanks to remote device monitoring.

Make managing 3D printing across your organisation easy with these features:

User Management

Manage and optimise 3D printing activity

When it comes to who can 3D print – you decide. Via the organisation management page, Ultimaker Essentials lets admins invite users, give them admin rights, or remove 3D printing access entirely.

Security

Keep your infrastructure rock-solid

More confidence in your 3D printing workflows means less to worry about for you and your business. Here's how Ultimaker Essentials helps:

Every release of Ultimaker Cura Enterprise is independently tested for security
A firmware firewall increases your 3D printer's security by allowing only cloud traffic from Ultimaker Digital Factory
The managed Marketplace shows only verified plugins*
Admins gain access to centrally managed software provision and support

*With the managed Ultimaker Marketplace, users can download plugins to improve their 3D printing workflow. But only verified plugins are available – to increase infrastructure stability and security. This includes plugins exclusive to Ultimaker Essentials subscribers – such as Teton Simulation's Smart Slice.

Verified plugin installation can only happen through the Marketplace. Installing unofficial and unverified plugins indirectly is restricted for increased protection and your IT department's peace of mind.

Support

Enjoy 3D printing with fewer disruptions

We know that for businesses using 3D printing, productivity is everything.

Ultimaker Essentials offers up to 6-hour ticket response times and 24-hour support coverage for your software.* And because every business is different, you can choose from three service levels tailored to your needs.

If you need assistance, simply log a ticket with Ultimaker Essentials helpdesk. Get help via email from an Ultimaker technician whenever you need to troubleshoot software-related issues.

Please refer to the table above for details of the 3 different levels of support available.

*Monday to Friday (excluding public holidays in Singapore, Netherlands & USA). During business hours only with Light and Standard versions. 24 hours with Advanced version. Direct support is for software issues only, and available in English only.
