Digital Factory for UltiMaker
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.”
Key Features of the UltiMaker S8
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.
Seamless UltiMaker Ecosystem Integration
The UltiMaker S8 combined with Digital Factory, ensures a streamlined workflow. Digital Factory allows users to manage their print jobs from any location, offering both preset and customized subscription options. Digital Factory is great for hobbyists, teachers, students, and small business owners as well as multinational corporations.
It simplifies 3D printing workflows and fosters collaboration across teams no matter where they are in the world! Expanding Cura from a desktop application to a cloud-based platform makes this powerful slicer accessible to all Digital Factory users around the world.
The beta release of Cura 5.10 comes with optimized print and material profile settings. Compatibility with the UltiMaker Marketplace also provides users with the liberty to experiment with their preferred material.
“We are thrilled to launch the UltiMaker S8, the next generation in our popular S series, built with customers in mind,” said Michiel Alting von Geusau, CEO at UltiMaker. “With our growing 3D printing ecosystem, we aim to provide customers with a variety of solutions that will fit their production needs.”
