UltiMaker® S6 3D Printer

Product Description

The UltiMaker® S6 3D printer builds on the trusted foundation of the S5, bringing faster output, versatile material options, and an accessible professional workflow to your team. With the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, redesigned high-flow print cores, and a new dual-drive feeder, the S6 delivers up to 4x the productivity of the S5 while retaining the reliability of the S-series platform.

A built-in accelerometer and improved firmware work alongside the updated motion system to support smooth, precise printing. With speeds up to 500 mm/s and extrusion flow up to 35 mm³/s, you can spend less time waiting for parts and more time refining your designs.

Whether you're testing a single prototype or preparing a batch of components, the S6 gives you room to grow. Its dual extrusion system, compatibility with 300+ materials, and support for existing accessories such as the Material Station and Air Manager let you adapt your workflow as your projects change. Prepare your model in UltiMaker Cura or Cura Cloud, then use UltiMaker Digital Factory for remote management.

The S6 has a build volume of 330 x 240 x 300 mm (13 x 9.4 x 11.8 in).

Features

More Productivity, Less Waiting
Move through design iterations faster with up to 4x the output of the S5. The UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner combines jerk-limited motion, third-order continuous motion, and corner blending with updated print cores and a new feeder to keep your projects moving.

Room for Bigger Ideas
Print larger parts or arrange multiple components in a single build. The 330 x 240 x 300 mm build volume gives you flexibility for individual prototypes and batch production alike.

Reliable First Layers
Advanced active leveling helps establish reliable first-layer adhesion without manual leveling. Spend less time preparing the build plate and more time focused on your next design.

Versatile Dual Extrusion
A dual extrusion print head with automatic nozzle lifting and swappable print cores helps you adapt to different projects. The dual-geared feeder is reinforced for composite materials, and access to 300+ compatible materials gives your team a broad range of options.

Fits Your Existing Workflow
Build on your investment in the UltiMaker ecosystem. The S6 is compatible with existing accessories such as the Material Station and Air Manager, making it easier to integrate into an established setup.

Connected Print Preparation and Management
Prepare prints with UltiMaker Cura or use Cura Cloud without installing software. UltiMaker Digital Factory supports remote management, while Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and USB give you flexible file transfer options.
