3D-printers from UltiMaker

Whether you’re responsible for maintenance, production efficiency, packaging design, or innovation strategy, our stand will show you real-world examples, hands-on demonstrations, and the latest 3D printing technologies from UltiMaker, making it clear why additive manufacturing is no longer optional, but essential.

Over the past decade, we’ve worked with packaging plants across Europe to identify high-value, low-complexity applications for 3D printing. These aren’t futuristic ideas—they’re real tools, jigs, fixtures, and spare parts already in daily use on packaging lines.

One of the most common insights from our projects is that many parts traditionally made in metal are unnecessarily complex and costly for their function. With today’s range of engineering-grade polymers, you can achieve the right strength, temperature resistance, and chemical durability without relying on metal.

Because 3D printing is additive—building parts layer by layer—it also unlocks geometries impossible to machine. That means you can lightweight parts, reduce material usage, and even print with multiple materials in a single job.

The result? Purpose-fit, cost-effective parts that are faster to produce and easier to adapt to changing production needs.

UltiMaker systems make professional 3D printing accurate, accessible, and reliable for packaging plants:
- Open material platform – widest polymer range in the desktop segment.
- Dual extrusion – combine support or multiple materials in a single print.
- NFC material recognition – automatic setup for consistent results.
- Proven reliability – precise, repeatable parts for demanding environments.

3D printing is no longer just about prototypes. It’s a proven tool for real production challenges in the packaging industry. From lightweight suction cups to ergonomic tools, from custom changeover parts to redesigned assemblies, additive manufacturing provides flexibility, independence, and efficiency.
