The cartesian system was inspired by the mtm Multifab by Ilan Moyer and Maxim Lobovsky from the MIT MediaLab. We’ve received many indispensable contributions offered by a large community of contributors. In particular (and in no particular order):

• The whole RepRap and Makerbot community
• Jan-Jaap Schuurman, who has developed the initial set of electronics
• The 12 pioneers in the group at Protospace who built early versions of the Ultimaker design! Jos, Frans, Jan Maarten, Paul, Maarten, Frank, Bart, Martin, Rick, Bart, Karijn en Joost.
• Uncle Andre Stolk, for experimenting, building and tinkering on several Ultimaker parts with me.
• The workshop participants of the second Ultimaker workshop and in particular Hendrik Leusink, Geo Hagen and Wim de Groot for their valuable contributions.
• Rob Gilson, ReplicatorG hacker. We support his awesome RepRap and Ultimaker development!
• Bart Bakker and Julius ter Pelkwijk for helping with the documentation
• Protospace Fablab Utrecht for providing the atmosphere and knowledge to make this possible (especially, Jelle, Joris, Desiree).
• Wim Brinks, for assisting with soldering of a large part of the electronics for the first batch
• Ad van der Laar, for creating a (better) Pololu replacement
• Joris Aerts (CircuitWorks) for upgrading the electronics to a whole new level
• Harma, Marrit, Tamar, Bart and Julius for the great work that they’ve delivered!
• Bernhard Kubicek, Erik vd Zalm and Matthijs Keuper, Peter Brier for amazing electronics and firmware work.
• Alex Oster for NetFabb support
• Dave Durant, Florian Horsch and Paul Candler for helping create good print profiles
• David Braam for writing the 3D printing software Cura.
• Let us know if we’re forgetting anyone!
