A ground‑up redesign that unified three Method printers into one UI platform. Each model has unique hardware—the XL's external material bay, the base models' internal systems—so we built conditional flows that adapt without fragmenting the experience.
I led the system overhaul: architected templates, patterns, and error models, then designed a reusable component library that standardized behaviors across engineering. The modular architecture accelerated development while aligning with UltiMaker's cloud services for a seamless end-to-end ecosystem.
System Overview
Fixed top bar and adaptive split-screen pattern used across setup and print workflows.
Wizard templates: Step header → primary instruction → secondary or numbered instructions → contextual media.
Additional templates extend or simplify the shell — like full-width menus, dual-pane material setup, or one-step modals. These preserve the same top bar and button logic while adapting to task context.
The Method XL uses an external material loading bay which requires different user interactions than the base models.
