Thanks to that, the users can be sure, that they will receivce a good and reliable product. On the other hand – you can find people, who find this policy too conservative and they expect more spectacular novelties.
The next case is an open-source policy and its adaptation. The sources to each Ultimaker’s 3D printers are made accessible after a few months after their official premieres. All of the upgrades are prepared to modernize older models on an easy way. Paradoxically, the policy of this kind is very profitablem what can be proved by the high position of Ultimaker in rankings of 3D printers in the world.
The today’s novelty into this scheme perfectly. All of the elements which are necessery to recreate your 3D printer, are available in the new kit. You don’t need any additional tools, and installing this upgrade takes about one hour.
