Ultimaker Material Station & Air manager
Ultimaker is a Dutch success story. Since its founding in 2011, Ultimaker has experienced explosive growth. Ultimaker 3D printers are known for their quality, reliability, and extensive material support. Ultimaker’s products serve many multinational companies across various industries, including Tesla, Airbus, and Apple. Ultimaker collaborated with FPI on the Material Station and the Air Manager. Together with the flagship Ultimaker S5 printer, these additions enable fully automated material swapping and provide humidity control and air filtration. This enhances flexibility, ensures consistent quality, and increases production capacity.
FPI is a development and production partner of Ultimaker. We are proud to demonstrate how we support our clients, enabling them to focus on what they do best and grow further. FPI manufactures the injection-molded parts and assembles sub-components for Ultimaker’s systems.
FPI Engineering Support
Prior to the start of injection molding production, a significant portion of the work had already been completed: A dedicated team from FPI was involved throughout the development phase. In addition to offering technical solutions, the parts were optimized for production. Well-designed products lead to a stable production process, ensuring consistent quality.
FPI Factory
The Material Station and the Air Manager have been successfully launched to the market. To create a product that ensures high quality and reliability, the production process must meet the same standards.
Throughout production, the quality of the injection-molded parts is checked and documented multiple times according to ISO quality systems. Deviations from the standards are detected and addressed early. This structured approach allows us to guarantee that products are delivered to the agreed quality.
With FPI, you have a team dedicated to developing and producing complete systems. Our team includes production (injection molding) specialists, industrial engineers, and buyers. With our own injection molding facility in Amstelveen and branches in Asia, FPI is the ideal partner for bringing a new system to market.
