We are shaping the future of manufacturing and product development
Transforming Manufacturing: The Power of the UltiMaker 3D Printing Ecosystem with Briggs Automotive Company.
Briggs Automotive Company (BAC) is a British sports car manufacturer best known for the Mono model, a single-seater road-legal supercar.
BAC has successfully integrated 3D printing into the production of the Mono R Supercar by harnessing the full potential of the Ultimaker Ecosystem to produce high-quality parts.
The UltiMaker 3D Printing Ecosystem has benefited BAC in some of the following ways:
• Enabled fast and inexpensive production of highly customisable parts
• Optimised supply chain management through the UltiMaker Digital Factory
• Enhanced design flexibility and geometric complexity
• Accelerated design iteration cycles and reduced time-to-market

Unlimited application potential
The power of the S Series lies in its versatility. Explore new 3D printing applications using the widest choice of materials on the market. These printers enable rapid iterations and customisations making them the perfect desktop 3D printers for manufacturing and product development.
Andrea Gasperini will be taking the stage to show how the UltiMaker 3D Printing Ecosystem can benefit manufacturers. You will also find out more about how BAC harnessed the UltiMaker 3D printing platform to its full potential.
