Ultimaker, one of the global leaders in professional 3D printing, announces its engagement with the University of Tokyo with its utilisation of digital fabrication tools in its new innovation hub, “T-BOX.”

The University of Tokyo SEKISUI House – KUMA Lab started with a donation from Sekisui House Co., Ltd, researching the future of architecture using technology to explore “the future of living”. Six flagship Ultimaker 3D printers and Ultimaker Digital Factory software help students of the architecture department to improve their craft and explore other avenues for growth, such as learning about manufacturing or digital fabrication.

“Choosing Ultimaker was an excellent answer for T-BOX due its high level of printing accuracy, speed, and responsiveness. The unlimited material range allows the students the opportunity to experiment with advanced polymers and composites to meet the demands of the real world.” Toshiki Hirano, the director and project assistant professor of SEKISUI HOUSE – KUMA LAB said.
