Zortrax introduces new firmware with the option of registering 3D printers and a number of functionalities for the M Series Plus

Zortrax introduces major changes in the firmware of its flagship 3D printers of the M series and announces a number of modifications in the newly produced Zortrax M200 Plus and M300 Plus models. The most important novelty is the introduction of the Zortrax ID system and the recommendation to register your devices in it.

Zortrax ID will integrate all the manufacturer’s functionalities and services in such a way as to be able to use them with one login and password. The system will be a kind of dashboard, allowing users to manage all their 3D printers and services. At the moment, the Zortrax ID system enables quick registration of devices, however, the manufacturer announces its development and enrichment with further functionalities.

Registration of the 3D printer is necessary to be able to upgrade to the new firmware and use additional functionalities. Applies to 3D printers of the M Plus, M300 Dual and Inkspire 3D series and Apoller for automatic smoothing of 3D prints. The system is inextricably linked to the latest firmware versions No. 2.3.0 for 3D printers and No. 1.6.0 for Apoller. From July 1, 2020, all Zortrax devices are sold with these firmware versions.

The 3D printer registration process is as follows:

• Step 2: After navigating to the website, complete the form to receive your PIN
• Step 3: Enter the PIN on the 3D printer screen
