Ultimaker is a 3D printer-manufacturing company based in the Netherlands, with offices and assembly lines in the US. [1] They make fused filament fabrication 3D printers, develop 3D printing software, and sell branded 3D printing materials. [2]
With a direct-drive extruder, the motor pushing the filament is installed by the hotend and pushes the filament directly into the nozzle. Direct-drive designs have several advantages, and typically give better extrusion, faster retraction, are able to print more types of filaments, and can use a smaller and lighter motor due to the short distance to the nozzle.

Prusa i3, a simple fused filament printer. Fused filament fabrication (FFF), also known as fused deposition modeling (with the trademarked acronym FDM), or filament freeform fabrication, is a 3D printing process that uses a continuous filament of a thermoplastic material. [1] Filament is fed from a large spool through a moving, heated printer ...
Fused deposition modeling, also known as fused filament fabrication, uses a 3-axis robotic system that extrudes material, typically a thermoplastic, one thin layer at a time and progressively builds up a shape. Examples of machines that use this method are the Dimension 768 and the Ultimaker.
Hyrel 3D is a company which manufactures 3D Printers for home, office and industrial settings, and is based in Atlanta, GA.Hyrel 3D makes modular manufacturing machines that are capable of additive and subtractive processes, including fused deposition modeling. [1]

Fusion3 debuted the F410, an update to the F400, in April 2018. The F410 maintained all the capabilities of the F400 with a number of new features including swappable print heads of different sizes (.4, .6, and .8MM), filament detection that pauses the F410 if you run out of material or encounter a print jam during a print, and a new conductive, automatic bed leveling system.
