        Blazing Productivity

        Unlock new levels of efficiency with the new UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, redesigned high flow print cores, built in accelerometer, new feeder system and improved firmware.

        Flexible Build Plate (Glass Optional)

        Skip using glue and remove parts effortlessly with the PEI-coated flexible build plate. Its patent-pending design uses 25 magnets and 4 pins for perfect alignment – reducing the time spent using the S6 and increasing productivity.

        Dual High Flow Print Cores

        The dual extrusion design works together with software and firmware features to allow you to combine any 2 materials no matter how different they are, which low material waste and high reliability.

        Backwards Compatible With S Series Products Including the Material Station

        Designed as a natural evolution of the UltiMaker S5 platform, the S6 is fully compatible with existing print cores, materials, Material Stations and Air Managers, protecting your investment and making upgrades effortless.

        Designed to be left unattended, the Material Station allows the UltiMaker S6 to 3D print longer – day or night. Loading material into the Material Station takes seconds – not minutes.

        Professional Grade Security and Reliability

        Engineered for safe unattended operation, the UltiMaker S6 includes enterprise-level firmware, secure cloud connectivity through Digital Factory and proven reliability trusted in engineering and manufacturing environments.
