We help and encourage our customers adopt additive manufacturing, offering training, applications development, consultancy, support and installation. Irelands award winning partner for Formlabs, Flux, Ultimaker and Meltio among others. Inspire 3D through our partners in The AM Group have access to over 15 manufacturer’s covering technologies from desktop FDM and SLA to robotic metal systems and even full concrete printing solutions. Providing our customers with the best in 3D printing technologies with Irish based logistics and after sales support. Our aim is not to sell you what we can sell the quickest, but to work with our customers to provide them with a streamlined fit for purpose solution to their additive manufacturing needs, integrating 3D printing into their business with ease and efficiency.
Training aim
This course is to take delegates from being beginners through to competent users of an Ultimaker 3D printer. This will provide the delegates with a strong grounding to ensure they get the most from their Ultimaker 3D Printer.
Learning objectives
Upon completion of the course the delegates will be competent in:
• Understand the process from taking a design through slicing, setting the slicing parameters and set up a print.
• Know how to use the Ultimaker material selector for selecting appropriate materials for their print.
• Understand how different materials need different slicing settings and processing parameters, and the different types of supports required when slicing a model.
• Understand the FDM process and how the Ultimaker has enhanced features to aid successful printing.
• Orientate a model in the slicing software for printing and set up the slicing parameters and advanced slicing settings.
• Be able to conduct basic troubleshooting on the printer and with unsuccessful prints.
• Be capable of identifying the different parts of a 3D printer.
• Be able to set up the printer for different materials.
• Be able to perform the routine monthly, 3 monthly and yearly maintenance tasks on the 3D printer

Trainer's profile
Paul Quinn is the Lead Applications and Training Engineer with 8 years experience in assisting the adoption of Additive Manufacturing systems to a wide range of industries.
Course duration
12 hours delivered across 1 and Half days
Assessment & certification
Delegates will be required to demonstrate their knowledge learned during the course through the completion of a 3D Print Project. The project assesses delegates ability to independently complete the required workflow to produce a 3D printed part.
A certificate of completion and a CPD Certificate (Engineers Ireland CPD) will be provided to all attendees.
Who should attend
This training is aimed towards new and current users of Ultimaker Systems aiming to further their knowledge of the process and ecosystem.
