Ultimaker, the global leader in desktop 3D printing, today declared the relocation of its global headquarters to Utrecht, in the heart of The Netherlands, and presented new branding as the company increases to reach the desire for professional 3D printing solutions around the world. In the last several years, the company has considerably extended its overall business and team to service new and present customers across every region on the planet.
 
According to the 24th edition of The Wohlers Report, revenue for the overall additive manufacturing market is likely to climb to $35.6 billion in 2024, up from $7 billion in 2018.

Ultimaker Cura, the company's open source software, has 500,000 amazing users per month, up 100% in one year, and processes 1.4 million print jobs per week, a 200% increase in one year.
 
'The strategic alliances we have formed over the last few years are enhancing the adoption of 3D printing within the certified environment. Compelling business cases from global enterprises such as Ford, L'Oréal, Airbus, Volkswagen Autoeuropa, and Decathlon inspire others to upload desktop 3D printing in their professional workflow,' said Jos Burger, CEO of Ultimaker. 'We picked out this brand new building as our headquarters because it is easily obtainable for our employees and will support our ongoing growing as we attract new talent to help professionals innovate every day with 3D printing.'

'Ultimaker evolved in to a strong and dependable brand for professional use in such a short time and I am extremely proud of the whole team of internal and external stakeholders that helped us in this journey.
