With Makerbot Sketch Sprint, Ultimaker offers a 3D printer with up to five times faster print speeds compared to standard desktop 3D printers, enabling teachers to optimise their lessons. With rapid design-to-print turnaround, students can complete more hands-on projects and explore their creativity, the company states. The innovative heated build plate, automatic levelling and vibration compensation enable precise and detailed prints.

Sketch Sprint is fully integrated with Ultimaker Digital Factory, a turnkey platform for managing 3D printing processes. Teachers can manage multiple printers, prioritise print jobs and submit student work from any device. With the new Cura cloud feature, the slicing process is transferred directly from Ultimaker Cura to the Digital Factory, guaranteeing a smooth workflow from CAD design to finished part. Optimised print settings and advanced features ensure high print quality and reliability.

The printer is UL certified and meets stringent standards for particulate and chemical emissions. With a fully enclosed design, a Hepa and carbon filtration system, and additional safety features such as PIN-protected controls, Sketch Sprint helps keep learning environments clean and safe. Use of PLA and Tough PLA filaments minimises risk in the classroom.

In addition to the Sketch Sprint, Ultimaker offers over 600 lesson plans, project ideas and training materials to support teachers. These include ISTE-compliant programmes, design thinking courses, webinars and professional development opportunities that effectively integrate 3D printing into the classroom.

Deliveries of the Sketch Sprint will begin in November 2024.
