Ultimaker is committed to accelerating the world’s transition to digital distribution and local manufacturing. Whether it’s for fast prototyping, more accurate printing, for use on concrete or on carpet; Ultimaker can be relied upon for excellent quality throughout the entire printing process. If it can be imagined, it can be printed. The starting point of any process is a blank canvas. Over time, an idea evolves from a first draft into a prototype, a product that will eventually lead to perfection. This process is easily translated into that of a square (which, not by accident, resembles an empty build chamber), evolving to a circle; as a metaphor for the seamless printing process. The outcome is a series of process elements that function as a foundation for the word mark and grid system throughout the identity.

This is complemented with a series of infill patterns which are based on distinct printing techniques. The use of imagery and the supporting colour system celebrate the “creator brand” and form a playful contrast with the typography, which is intended to be visually harmonious across multiple languages, with compatible heights and stroke thicknesses. We created a dynamic identity guided by a pragmatic set of rules that conduct consistency. It is adaptable to the need of appliance and expression for cross-media coverage. The new look also means we had to say goodbye to longtime mascot ‘The Ultibot’. The future-proof identity facilitates clarity and simplicity, the capitalised ‘U’ reflects just that.
