UltiMaker® S3 3D Printer

Product Description

The UltiMaker® S3 3D printer brings professional material capabilities and reliable dual extrusion to a compact system that fits neatly on your desk. Ready for glass- and carbon-fiber composites, the S3 gives your team the flexibility to explore demanding applications without dedicating space to a larger machine. Soluble supports open up more design freedom, helping you produce complex geometries.

The S3 is designed for reliable performance, featuring advanced active leveling, a sturdy build platform, and a heated glass build plate, all powered by precise stepper drivers. These components collaborate to ensure consistent print quality. Additionally, the dual filament flow sensors alert you when the material is running low.

Whether you're bringing prototyping in-house or adding 3D printing to an existing workflow, the S3 keeps the process approachable. Prepare your model with predefined settings in UltiMaker Cura, start the job using the intuitive touchscreen, and put your next design iteration into motion. Designed for users to get started after a 30-minute introduction, the S3 helps your team spend less time learning the equipment and more time developing parts.

The S3 has a build volume of 230 x 190 x 200 mm (9 x 7.4 x 7.9 in).

Features

Professional Capability, Desktop Footprint
Bring versatile 3D printing closer to your workspace. The S3 combines a compact design with a 230 x 190 x 200 mm build volume, giving you room for prototypes and components without the footprint of a larger system.

Composite-Ready Dual Extrusion
Explore glass- and carbon-fiber composite materials with a dual-geared feeder reinforced for composites and swappable print cores. Dual extrusion also enables soluble supports, giving you more freedom to create complex shapes.

Reliable First Layers
Advanced active leveling helps establish a consistent starting point for each print. A stiff build platform, heated glass build plate, and accurate stepper drivers support high-quality results, while dual filament flow sensors alert you when material runs out.

Simple Touchscreen Operation
Navigate setup and printing with an award-winning interface on a 4.7-inch color touchscreen. Predefined print settings and an approachable workflow help new users get started after a 30-minute introduction.

More Material Options
Choose from 190+ materials to match your project requirements. Integration with the UltiMaker platform connects your printer with print preparation software, printer management tools, and material settings for a streamlined workflow.
