UltiMaker S8: Raising the Bar for 3D Printing Productivity
UltiMaker, a recognized leader in desktop 3D printing, has attentively stepped into the future with the introduction of the
UltiMaker S8, a next-generation 3D printer designed to significantly elevate productivity while ensuring high-quality precision and reliability.
This new model offers an impressive performance boost, featuring a potential productivity increase of up to four times over its predecessor, the S7. Built for a diverse array of industrial applications, the S8 can reach speeds of
500 mm/s and accommodate accelerations of
50,000 mm/s², making it robust enough for the most demanding tasks. Users can anticipate improved turnaround times without compromising safety or the reliability of part quality.
Enhanced Features for Superior Output
At the heart of this cutting-edge machine lies a newly developed powerful electronic platform, providing five times the processing power compared to the S7. This upgraded platform is complemented by the
UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, enhancing movement control to achieve remarkable precision of
0.15 mm ± 0.15%. This sophistication eradicates common issues faced during high-speed operations, including vibrations and mechanical stress, thereby refining print quality.
Moreover, the UltiMaker S8 is equipped with
high-flow print cores that facilitate dual extrusion, allowing users to create intricate parts using various materials in a single job. It fully supports the
UltiMaker Marketplace, providing access to over 300 materials, including the new
UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide. This innovative copolymer is designed specifically for applications requiring high durability and thermal stability, proving crucial in reducing wear and enhancing long-term component performance.
Besides improved hardware capabilities, UltiMaker has enriched the software experience. With the introduction of
Cura Cloud within the
UltiMaker Digital Factory, users can now manage and execute print jobs on a single platform effortlessly. This streamlined approach not only enhances workflow efficiency but fosters collaboration among teams regardless of geographical boundaries. Subscription plans tailored to various user needs further support efficient and optimized production processes.
The Future of 3D Printing Collaboration
As Marc Uyttenboogaard, Product Manager at UltiMaker states, the UltiMaker S8 sets a new precedent in 3D printing solutions by focusing on speed, accuracy, enhanced safety features, and improved connectivity. The seamless integration with the
Digital Factory and Cura enhances the user experience, fostering a safe and efficient 3D printing environment.
This investment in state-of-the-art technology signifies UltiMaker's commitment to empowering businesses in their innovative journeys. The capacity for producing prototypes and production-ready components with unmatched flexibility solidifies the UltiMaker S8's position as one of the most comprehensive 3D printing solutions available today.
