What advantage does NFC-enabled material from Ultimaker provide?

NFC-enabled material from Ultimaker provides the advantage of allowing the machine to automatically recognize what material is being used along with its spool size. This feature streamlines the printing process by ensuring that the 3D printer is correctly set up to accommodate the specific requirements of the material loaded, such as temperature settings, printing speed, and other relevant parameters. By facilitating this automatic detection, users can avoid potential errors that might occur from using the wrong material settings, thus enhancing the overall reliability and efficiency of the printing process.

In addition to precision in material handling, this capability helps maintain consistency in print quality and can contribute to reducing material wastage over time, although that is a secondary benefit rather than the primary function of the NFC-enabled feature.
