We are excited to share the UltiMaker S8 and S8 Pro Bundle, the newest addition to the UltiMaker S line of 3D printers.

The S8 boasts significant speed increases along with improved print quality to 0.15mm ± 0.15%, made possible by the innovative UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, together with new high flow cores and improved feeder system.

The UltiMaker S8 is a productivity powerhouse, with speeds of up to 500mm/s and accelerations reaching 50,000mm/s2. It comes equipped with cutting-edge features such as the innovative UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, high-flow print cores, and an upgraded feeder system.

These enhancements allow the UltiMaker S8 to deliver a productivity rate that is four times greater than its predecessor. This new model can produce parts more rapidly than ever before without sacrificing quality and making it an excellent choice for businesses that need quick turnarounds.

The UltiMaker S8 is expertly designed to tackle challenging applications, excelling in the production of high-strength, high-performance parts using engineering-grade materials. It supports dual extrusion, enabling users to fabricate intricate parts using multiple materials in a single printing process.

The S8 is compatible with the extensive range of materials available in the UltiMaker Marketplace, which offers over 300 options. This includes the newly introduced UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide, a wear-resistant copolymer that can withstand temperatures of up to 180°C and offers PFAS-free performance.

Cura Cloud on UltiMaker Digital Factory, is a revolutionary cloud slicer powered by UltiMaker Cura, the globally preferred slicer. Digital Factory was meticulously crafted to simplify every phase of the 3D printing process.

With the integration of Cura Cloud, users can now slice, manage, and print all within a single platform. Cura Cloud introduces a unique feature that streamlines the workflow, resulting in a more seamless and efficient process.

Digital Factory also offers a variety of subscription plans tailored to enhance production, providing users with personalized options to suit their specific needs.

Whether it's for creating prototypes or manufacturing production-ready components, the S8 provides unparalleled flexibility, setting it apart from other professional 3D printing solutions currently available in the market.

“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.”

Increased Productivity and Improved Print Quality

The UltiMaker S8 incorporates a robust, newly engineered electronics platform, delivering up to five times the processing power of the UltiMaker S7. The UltiMaker Cheetah enhances motion control, achieving a precision of 0.15mm ± 0.15% and eliminating common high-speed issues.

This key feature allows the S8 to reach print speeds up to four times faster than ever before. Along with the S8, UltiMaker is also introducing two new hot-swappable AA+ and CC+ print cores, specifically designed for high-flow to align with the printer's elevated speed.

These new cores provide 2.5 times more flow than other cores previously offered, boosting speed and quality for composite and engineering-grade materials. A newly designed hardened feeder module provides superior material control, ensuring dependable performance even at high speeds.
