Desktop 3D printer manufacturer UltiMaker unveils the UltiMaker S8 3D printer, its next-generation solution for industrial-grade applications.
The UltiMaker S8 was engineered for productivity, capable of speeds up to 500mm/s and accelerations up to 50,000mm/s2. Equipped with advanced features like the new UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, high flow print cores, and an improved feeder system, the UltiMaker S8 can deliver up to 4x the productivity of its predecessor, the S7. The combination of these features enables the new printer to deliver parts faster than the predecessor without compromising on part quality.
The S8 supports dual extrusion, allowing users to create complex parts with multiple materials in a single print job. As a reminder, the S8 is compatible with UltiMaker’s wide range of materials in the UltiMaker Marketplace, which offers over 300 materials to choose from, including the new UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide, a copolymer offering wear resistance, temperature resistance of up to 180°C, and PFAS-free performance.
Now widely available is Cura Cloud on UltiMaker Digital Factory, the new cloud slicer powered by UltiMaker Cura. Digital Factory was designed to streamline every step of the 3D printing process, and, with Cura Cloud, users can slice, manage, and print all from one platform. Cura Cloud adds a unique element that enhances the workflow and creates a smoother, more efficient process. Digital Factory also provides a range of subscription plans to help users boost production, giving them customized options based on their needs. Whether producing prototypes or production-ready components, the S8 offers flexibility like no other professional 3D printing solution on the market today.
“We believe that the UltiMaker S8 sets a new standard in 3D printing, building on the legacy of the S series with significant improvements,” said Marc Uyttenboogaard, Product Manager at UltiMaker. “We have engineered the S8 to provide faster printing speeds, improved reliability and precision, robust security features, enhanced connectivity, and dual-material capabilities. Integrated with Digital Factory and Cura, the S8 offers users a simple, secure, and efficient 3D printing experience.”
Key features of the UltiMaker S8 include:
- Increased productivity and improved print quality
- Seamless UltiMaker ecosystem integration: The S8 seamlessly integrates with Digital Factory, ensuring an optimized workflow with minimal effort.
