A game-changer in the realm of professional 3D printing. Designed to meet the increasing demands of engineers, designers, and innovators, the S8 combines speed, precision, and versatility to elevate your printing and prototyping experience.

Using the lessons from the previous UltiMaker printers, the S8 is the top of the line in their S-Series printers.

We recommend adding the Material Station, to make the UltiMaker S8 Pro Bundle

Key Features

Updated Motion Planner for Increased Productivity

At the heart of the S8 lies the revolutionary UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner. This system enables printing speeds of up to 500 mm/s and acceleration up to 50,000 mm/s², effectively quadrupling productivity compared to previous models. Despite these impressive speeds, the S8 maintains exceptional print quality with dimensional accuracy of ±0.15 mm ± 0.15% of feature nominal length.

Dual-Extrusion System

Unlock limitless possibilities with the S8's dual-extrusion design. This system allows you to combine any two materials, regardless of their differences, facilitating the creation of complex, multi-material parts with minimal waste and high reliability. With access to over 300 compatible materials, your designs are only limited by your imagination.

New High-Flow Print Cores and Improved Feeder System

Equipped with new AA+ and CC+ print cores featuring a quad-chamber design, the S8 achieves 2.5x more flow, ensuring cleaner prints and efficient material extrusion. The updated hardened feeder module, inherited from Factor 4, offers improved grip and better material control at high speeds, enhancing overall print reliability.

Flexible PEI-Coated Build Plate

Say goodbye to the hassle of glue and difficult part removal. The S8's PEI-coated flexible build plate is secured with 25 magnets and 4 pins for perfect alignment, allowing effortless part removal and reducing setup time.

Integrated EPA Filter for Enhanced Safety

Prioritizing your safety, the S8 features an integrated EPA filter that has been independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles. Combined with a fully enclosed build chamber, this ensures a safer working environment and improved print quality..

Seamless Integration with UltiMaker Ecosystem

The S8 seamlessly integrates with UltiMaker's Digital Factory and Cura software, streamlining every step of your 3D printing workflow -from ordering filament, putting it in the printer, slicing, file management and maintenance. This ecosystem is designed to be scalable, making it suitable for any team or enterprise aiming to enhance efficiency.
