As a leading supplier of 3D printers and filaments, MatterHackers is always on the lookout for the latest advancements in the 3D printing industry. We are excited to discuss the monumental merger of UltiMaker and MakerBot, two giants in the world of 3D printing. 

UlitMaker
UlitMaker's New Look and Sub Brands

Combining the strengths of UltiMaker and MakerBot, this merger aims to create a unified brand that will shape the future of manufacturing and product development. UltiMaker, known for its versatile and powerful S series printers, is a favorite among professionals who require a diverse range of materials for their projects. On the other hand, MakerBot's Method series focuses on specific manufacturing applications, boasting features such as heated chambers, high-temperature thermoplastics, and exceptional dimensional accuracy.

In the aftermath of this merger, the UltiMaker brand will encompass both the S and Method series printers, catering to manufacturing, product development, and other professional applications. This move ensures that professionals have access to the most comprehensive range of 3D printing solutions under one brand.

MakerBot, as a sub-brand, will continue to serve the educational sector, with its Sketch series targeted at K-12 learning. Recognized for offering one of the most comprehensive education ecosystems in 3D printing, MakerBot will keep empowering educators and students to take their ideas to new heights.

At MatterHackers, we believe that this new brand architecture will make it easier for our customers to find the products and applications best suited to their needs. The transition to rebrand all UltiMaker hardware and software products is expected to occur over the next 12-18 months.

As the industry evolves and this merger unfolds, MatterHackers remains committed to providing the best 3D printing solutions and support to our customers. We eagerly anticipate the innovations this powerful collaboration will bring and look forward to helping you explore the limitless possibilities of 3D printing.
