UltiMaker S6 Secure 3D printer

The UltiMaker S6 Flex Secure continues the S series tradition of versatility and modularity, specifically tailored for high-stakes defense, government, and other high-security applications where data security is mission-critical. UltiMaker's proven performance is combined with hardened security and trusted EU manufacturing, supercharged by the Cheetah motion planner for up to 4× productivity — and backed by a unique 24-month warranty.

Ships with the heated flexible PEI build plate for glue-free printing and effortless part removal.

No connectivity. No risk. Full control.

  • Air-gapped, offline operation — runs fully offline with USB-only access or on a secure, isolated LAN. No Wi-Fi, no cloud endpoints, and no onboard camera, eliminating the most common network attack surfaces and easing IT security demands.
  • Tamper-resistant, secure firmware — factory-flashed firmware and sealed hardware designed to meet NATO-aligned IT standards, avoiding vulnerabilities linked to connected-device protocols.
  • Protects IP, data, and readiness — keeps files and print processes entirely under your control, avoids foreign-regulation risk, and stops hidden vulnerabilities so your operations stay secure and self-reliant.
  • Rugged, portable, and easy to operate — compact and durable for simple use and maintenance anywhere you need it, delivering reliable, high-quality results even in tough conditions.
  • Base or field ready — full performance in on-site or remote production. No compromise on capability, wherever you are.
  • Procurement ready — TAA compliant, designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, and available through 3D Universe's GSA contract for government and defense purchasing.

Introducing the UltiMaker S6

Building directly on the great legacy of the UltiMaker S5, the S6 retains all its cherished versatility and modularity. UltiMaker added powerful innovations like the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, improved bed leveling, a new dual-drive feeder, and a flexible build plate — delivering S8-like productivity gains of up to 4× over its predecessor while keeping reliability paramount.

UltiMaker S6 key feature icons

Proven versatility of the S5: Enhanced in the UltiMaker S6 to achieve up to 4× productivity. Iterate designs faster and bring innovations to market quicker, backed by dependable performance and new features like the flex plate.

Effortless professional 3D printing: Designed to be the most easy and accessible way to utilize the UltiMaker ecosystem — from advanced materials to UltiMaker Cura — streamlining your workflow.

Reliable high output: Achieve up to 4× the output without compromising on reliability. Improved bed leveling and the flex plate reduce print failures and simplify part removal.

High speed printing: Blends S5 versatility with Cheetah motion, improved leveling, and the flex plate for accessible, fast printing — prepared offline in UltiMaker Cura and transferred securely by USB or isolated LAN.

Unmatched modularity: Full accessory compatibility ensures a smooth transition, all at a more accessible price point.

Uncompromised reliability: Like its bigger brother the S8, the UltiMaker S6 achieves up to 4× the productivity of the S5 without compromising on the reliability UltiMaker is known for.

Get the Quality Filament You Need

Nothing will impact your 3D printing results like the kind of filament you use. Good filament is highly consistent in diameter, is wound evenly onto the spool with just the right amount of tension, and will not tangle when being unwound. 3D Universe offers a wide range of high-quality filaments to choose from.
