Overview
UltiMaker S8 Secure
The fastest desktop dual material professional 3D printer is now a dedicated defense-grade 3D printing solution
UltiMaker 3D printers are used in defense for rapid prototyping, field repairs, and secure, on-demand part production. With open-material flexibility and solutions like the S8 Secure, they support mission readiness while meeting defense-grade security standards.
UltiMaker 3D printers are TAA compliant and available through GSA contracts, making them approved and accessible for government and defense procurement.
Deployable End-to-end Production
UltiMaker 3D printers can be found onboard joint logistics support ships, in the back of military support vehicles, even in flight cases deployable to staging areas at a moment’s notice.
Such a powerful, affordable, and self-contained manufacturing platform unlocks incredible flexibility to supply parts exactly when and where they are needed, allowing you to take the lead in innovation and operational readiness – while other defense organizations wait for parts delivery.
Blazing Productivity. The Fastest Desktop Dual-material Printer on the Market
- Up to 500mm/s print speed & 50,000mm/s² acceleration
- The fastest dual material 3D printer & open material platform
- Mix and match any of the 300+ materials in the UltiMaker Ecosystem with dual extrusion.
- The dual extrusion design works together with software and firmware features to allow you to combine any 2 materials no matter how different they are, with low material waste and high reliability.

AA+ and CC+ HF Cores
The new High Flow print cores enable exceptional extrusion speeds, reaching flow rates of up to 35 mm³ per second. By increasing the surface area within the meltzone, these print cores ensure faster material melting and deposition, allowing for high-speed, high strength prints without compromising quality.
Improved Material Feeder
The new S8 material feeder features a re-engineered teeth gear system and updated hatch textures, optimizing material flow for greater precision and reliability. These improvements reduce slip rates, ensuring consistent extrusion and enhanced material control, even when printing with demanding composites and flexible filaments
UltiMaker Cheetah
Advanced Motion Planning: Eliminates speed fluctuations, reducing force peaks on the print head.
Input Shaping Implementation: Minimizes vibrations for smoother motion paths.
Optimized Material Flow: Pressure advance ensures synchronization with print head movements.
Comprehensive Testing: Identified optimal speed, acceleration, and jerk parameters for fast printing, without compromising on dimensional accuracy.
