S6 UltiMaker’s dual-extrusion 3D printer can be used for functional prototyping, production and repairs. Capable of seamless multi-material printing, the S6 is compatible with more than 300 materials.  

What’s new? The printer, which, thanks to UltiMaker’s new Cheetah motion planner, is up to four times faster than its predecessor, the S5. The new printer is backward-compatible with the S5, and all material stations, air managers, print cores and materials are interchangeable across the entire S series. It offers a choice of two build plates: a flexible plate for broad versatility and a glass plate ideal for prints involving products with food or medical applications. Compared with the S5, the S6 also exhibits better bed leveling and has redesigned high flow print cores, a built-in accelerometer, new feeder system and improved firmware. 

Benefits High-performance 3D printing at an economical price.
