How does the Ultimaker 3 work?
With this 3D printer, Ultimaker have released material spools with embedded NFC technology to detect the type of material. This works with the Ultimaker 3 Extended’s built-in material recognition system to detect and identify the material on the reel holder, to verify the filament and print core being used.
What is the benefit of using NFC enabled material from Ultimaker?
NFC materials store the amount of material left on the spool. During printing of NFC materials the Ultimaker S5 utilizes the flow sensor to track material usage, and writes the new amount to the NFC chip. The amount of material spool is displayed on the user interface via a battery icon.
