3D Printer Backpacks

The Ultimaker 2 GO Makes It Easier to Transport a 3D Printer

— July 28, 2016 — Tech
Ultimaker recently came up with a way to solve the issue of transporting a 3D printer with a brand-new product called the Ultimaker 2 Go. While 3D printers have become smaller and more accessible over the years, their cumbersome design makes them difficult to carry from one place to the next. This backpack solves the issue of moving a 3D printer simply by adding straps to the outside of the device.

The Ultimaker 2 Go is a set of comfortable shoulder straps that attach to the foam packaging that the brand's printers are packaged in. Because the straps are meant to be used in conjunction with the original packaging, the foam container keeps contents sturdy and secure during transport without adding additional weight. This gives the wearer the flexibility to take their 3D printer with them anywhere they may be travelling.

As 3D printers continue to grow in popularity, this backpack system makes the technology more accessible in different spaces.
Trend Themes
1. Portable 3D Printers - The Ultimaker 2 GO backpack demonstrates the trend of making 3D printers more portable and easy to transport.
2. Innovative Packaging Solutions - The Ultimaker 2 GO backpack showcases the trend of incorporating convenient and secure packaging for transporting delicate technology.
3. Enhanced Mobility Solutions - The Ultimaker 2 GO backpack exemplifies the trend of providing wearable and mobile solutions for businesses and individuals who require on-the-go access to 3D printers.
Industry Implications
1. 3D Printing Industry - The 3D printing industry can explore opportunities to develop more portable and user-friendly 3D printers that are easier to transport like the Ultimaker 2 GO.
2. Transportation and Logistics Industry - The transportation and logistics industry can explore opportunities to cater to the growing demand for convenient and secure transportation solutions for fragile technology like 3D printers.
3. Wearable Technology Industry - The wearable technology industry can leverage the concept of the Ultimaker 2 GO backpack and develop innovative wearable solutions for carrying other electronic devices and equipment.
