Description
UltiMaker S3 3D Printer (216934): Designed for versatility in any workspace, the Ultimaker S3 boasts advanced dual extrusion capabilities, perfect for handling a variety of materials with ease. Ultimaker have integrated cutting-edge technology to ensure a seamless and user-friendly experience, combining power and simplicity in one impressive package.
With its low annual cost of ownership, the Ultimaker S3 offers an affordable entry to professional 3D printing, making ROI easy and fast to achieve. This means that entrepreneurs and SMEs can now get more for their initial outlay. And those who want to drive innovation using additive manufacturing now have a lower barrier to entry without needing to compromise on performance.
Whether you're a seasoned professional or a newcomer to 3D printing, the Ultimaker S3 offers an unmatched balance of performance and accessibility. Ultimaker have taken many of the best features from the Ultimaker S5 and combined them into a smaller, more affordable device. The Ultimaker S3 delivers the same high-quality, composite-ready dual extrusion, with the same market-leading reliability and ease of use – just with a smaller build volume (230 x 190 x 200mm or 9.1 x 7.4 x 7.9 inches).
MAIN FEATURES:
- REINFORCED FEEDER WHEELS: Made from coated, hardened steel. These enable abrasion-resistant 3D printing for high-strength parts using glass or carbon fibRE composites (when paired with Ultimaker print core CC Red)
- DUAL FILAMENT FLOW SENSORS: Increase your print success rate. If you run out of filament, they pause your print and notify you to add a new spool
- ADVANCED ACTIVE LEVELLING: Ensures easy and reliable first-layer adhesion. Begin a print job and get on with your work, thanks to precise build area probing and Z-height build plate compensation at the start of every print job
- TOUCHSCREEN: Effortless, intuitive operation via a touchscreen interface
- HIGH-ACCURACY STEPPER DRIVERS: Taken directly from the Ultimaker S5. These high-precision drivers are quieter than the Ultimaker 3 and run more reliably
- NETWORK CONNECTIVITY: Via Wi-Fi or Ethernet, print remotely over the cloud with added security
- RIGID PRINTER FRAME: Reduces small vibrations (or ringing) while printing to improve overall print quality
- SINGLE GLASS DOOR:With a magnetic latch provides a more controlled build environment to reduce the risk of warping or delamination
- OPTIMISED INTERNAL DESIGN:Allowing both dual extrusion nozzles to reach the whole build area, while maintaining a high build-volume-to-size ratio
- INTERNAL POWER SUPPLY:Removes the need to make space for a power brick. It also makes the setup process easy across all S-line 3D printers
The Ultimaker S3 can be employed in a range of applications, mostly desktop, but also industrial. Possessing the same specs as the Ultimaker S5 in a smaller footprint, the Ultimaker S3 is suitable for the same applications, from product development, to manufacturing aids and end-use-parts.
Award-winning line of 3D printers stands as a testament to Ultimaker's robust, reliable, and user-friendly nature. These printers consistently deliver high-quality parts with unwavering precision. Meticulously designed and rigorously tested for continuous operation 24/7, they provide a seamless and efficient workflow, allowing you to achieve your desired results with speed and ease.
Featuring an open filament system, Ultimaker allows users to explore and select materials tailored precisely to their application needs. Whether seeking heat resistance, chemical resilience, wear resistance, or flexibility, Ultimaker's extensive material options empower users to fine-tune and optimize the properties of their prints.
Ultimaker Cura seamlessly integrates into any workflow, providing unparalleled flexibility through the utilization of Ultimaker Marketplace plugins. These plugins serve as dynamic extensions, allowing users to tailor their 3D printing processes to specific needs and preferences.
Ultimaker's extensive global network of service partners is dedicated to providing professional assistance, offering services such as installation, training, and maintenance in your preferred language and time zone. This ensures Ultimaker users around the world have access to localised support, making the experience of setting up, learning, and maintaining your 3D printer both convenient and tailored to your specific needs.
The Ultimaker S3 incorporates the acclaimed 4.7" (11.9 cm) touchscreen, a feature shared with the award-winning Ultimaker S5. Recognized with a 2019 iF Design Award for its user-friendly interface, this intuitive touchscreen facilitates step-by-step setup, effortless navigation, and streamlined maintenance processes.
Revolutionise your 3D printing experience with Ultimaker's state-of-the-art dual filament flow sensors, designed to elevate your print success rate to unprecedented levels. The innovative technology integrated into these sensors not only ensures a seamless transition between filaments but also acts as a fail-safe mechanism. In the event of filament depletion, the sensors automatically pause your print job and promptly notify you, providing the opportunity to replace the spool and resume printing without compromising the integrity of your project.
Engineered for durability and precision, the Ultimaker S3 sets a new standard in resistant 3D printing, especially when crafting high-strength components using glass or carbon fiber composites, a capability heightened when paired with the specialized Ultimaker print core CC Red. This cutting-edge combination empowers users to effortlessly produce robust, industrial-grade parts that can withstand the rigors of demanding applications.
Whether you're in aerospace, automotive, or any other industry that demands uncompromising strength, the Ultimaker S3 stands ready to deliver resilience and reliability, making it the optimal choice for those seeking to elevate their additive manufacturing capabilities.

HEAT RESISTANCE:
CPE (co-polyester) materials stand out for their exceptional qualities, showcasing chemical resistance, toughness, and impressive dimensional stability. This makes CPE a preferred material for a wide range of applications, including both functional prototypes and mechanical parts. While both CPE and CPE+ share similar performance characteristics, CPE+ offers additional advantages. Notably, it boasts higher temperature resistance and increased impact strength, making it an excellent choice for applications where these specific attributes are crucial. Whether opting for CPE or CPE+, users can rely on these co-polyester materials to deliver durability and reliability in the creation of functional and robust 3D-printed components.
CPE VS CPE+
- CPE offers a diverse selection of colors, providing users with a broad palette to choose from. This includes the sophisticated greyscale option, which adds a professional touch to 3D-printed models.
- CPE exhibits notable strength with higher tensile and flexural strength. On the other hand, CPE+ takes toughness to the next level. Formulated to be up to 10 times tougher than standard CPE, CPE+ is engineered to provide enhanced durability and resilience.
- CPE+ features a temperature resistance of up to 100ºC when compared to CPE, which is only resistant up to 70ºC
