The Ultimaker S6 delivers print speeds of up to 500 mm/s and 50,000 mm/s2 acceleration with the new Ultimaker Cheetah motion planner, for up to four times faster print times than its predecessor. Ultimaker’s dual extrusion capabilities are said to enable seamless multimaterial printing — and with both print heads supported by a single material station, users can further maximize uptime. The S6 also offers a choice of two build plates: a flexible plate for broad application versatility, and a glass plate ideal for medical or food-packaging prints where enhanced hygiene is essential.
The S6 is fully backward compatible with the Ultimaker S5, which has sold more than 40,000 units globally, according to the company. Material stations, air managers, print cores and materials are interchangeable across the S series. And for larger manufacturing operations, previously sliced parts can be reused, keeping production flowing without the need to recreate files. The Ultimaker S6 printer is backed by an extended 24-month warranty.
