Easy to use and more compact, the new Ultimaker S3 is a high-quality FFF (Fused Filament Fabrication) 3D printer ready for use with composite materials. A more cost-effective entry point for businesses looking to own their own 3D printer, the unit features a dual-extrusion print head with a unique automatic nozzle lifting system and interchangeable print cores. It offers a build volume of 230 x 190 x 200 mm and low layer resolutions of up to 150-60 microns with an optional 0.25 mm nozzle. RS also offers
the Ultimaker S5 Pro package, which provides professional 3D printing capabilities and meets a wide range of engineering requirements, from prototyping to the production of end-use industrial components and parts. The package combines the high-end Ultimaker S5 printer, already available individually from RS, as well as the S5 Air Manager and Material Station units.
Air Manager creates a safer working environment for the Ultimaker S5 by directing airflow outwards, which, in addition to optimizing print quality and providing a safe physical barrier in the printing area, filters up to 95% of the ultrafine particles (UFP) emitted during 3D printing, thus enabling more applications through the safe use of more materials.
The S5 Material Station also integrates seamlessly with the Ultimaker S5 printer to help manage materials. Designed to enable higher-volume production runs, it features a humidity-controlled compartment that holds up to six spools and 4.5 kg of material. Its specially designed smart features include composite-ready feed wheels, filament flow sensors, and automatic spool switching. This expanded range of compatible materials means the printer can be used for a wider variety of applications.
Both the S3 and S5 models come with a software package that includes Ultimaker Cura for print preparation, Ultimaker Connect management software, and Ultimaker Cloud, which enables remote printing. In addition to being included in the S5 Pro bundle, Air Manager and Material Station will also be available individually from RS. The Ultimaker S3 and S5 Pro Bundle is now available from RS for the EMEA region.
