UltiMaker® S8 3D Printer

Product Description

The UltiMaker® S8 3D printer brings speed, precision, and reliability to your desktop, helping you move from design to finished part with fewer delays. Powered by the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, the S8 delivers up to 4x the productivity of its predecessors, with print speeds up to 500 mm/s and acceleration up to 50,000 mm/s².

Whether you're refining a prototype or producing production-ready components, the S8 gives your team the flexibility to take on complex projects. Its dual extrusion system and high-flow AA+ and CC+ print cores enable multi-material printing, while a dual-geared feeder reinforced for composite materials enhance your material capabilities.

Designed to simplify your daily workflow, the S8 combines advanced active leveling, a PEI-coated flexible build plate, and an integrated EPA filter. Prepare your model in UltiMaker Cura, send it to the printer, and flex the build plate to release your finished part. UltiMaker Digital Factory brings print, printer, and user management into one cloud-based workspace.

The S8 has a build volume of 330 x 240 x 300 mm (13 x 9.4 x 11.8 in).

Features

More Productivity, Less Waiting
Keep your projects moving with the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner. With up to 4x the productivity of its predecessors, speeds up to 500 mm/s, and acceleration up to 50,000 mm/s², the S8 helps shorten turnaround times for busy engineering teams.

Precision at Speed
Produce detailed parts without making precision an afterthought. The S8 combines high-speed motion with dimensional accuracy of ±0.15 mm ±0.15% of feature nominal length, supporting both design iteration and demanding part production.

Flexible Dual Extrusion
Build complex, multi-material parts with a dual extrusion print head and automatic nozzle lifting. Swappable print cores make it easy to adapt your setup, while high-flow AA+ and CC+ cores deliver extrusion flow up to 35 mm³/s.

Cleaner Printing Environment
The integrated, replaceable EPA filter removes up to 95% of ultrafine particles, helping reduce particle emissions during printing.

Easy Part Removal
The PEI-coated flexible steel build plate simplifies part removal between jobs. Advanced active leveling with inductive sensors helps establish accurate build plate alignment before printing begins.

Connected Workflow
Prepare prints in UltiMaker Cura and manage your printers with UltiMaker Digital Factory. Wi-Fi, Gigabit Ethernet, and USB connectivity give your team options for moving files from design to production.
