Description
UltiMaker S8 3D Printer (64-237331): Represents a significant leap forward in additive manufacturing technology. Designed to meet the demands of modern production environments, it offers unparalleled speed and precision. Capable of reaching print speeds up to 500mm/s and accelerations up to 50,000mm/s², the S8 delivers up to four times the productivity of its predecessors. This remarkable performance is achieved without compromising on print quality, making it an ideal solution for businesses requiring rapid turnaround times.
Central to the S8's performance is the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, which enhances motion control for precise movements. This innovation ensures a precision of 0.15mm ± 0.15%, effectively eliminating common issues such as ringing and blobs that can occur at high speeds. Complementing this is the inclusion of high-flow AA+ and CC+ print cores, delivering 2.5 times more material flow compared to previous models. These advancements contribute to both efficiency and quality, particularly when working with composite and engineering-grade materials.
The S8's versatility is further highlighted by its dual-material printing capabilities, allowing for the creation of complex parts using multiple materials in a single print job. Compatibility with UltiMaker's extensive material marketplace, offering over 300 materials, provides users with the flexibility to experiment and select the best material for their specific applications. Notably, the new UltiMaker Nylon CF Slide, a Nylon 612 CF copolymer, offers excellent wear resistance and temperature stability up to 180°C, making it ideal for industrial applications where tribological performance is crucial.
Integration with UltiMaker's Digital Factory and the newly introduced Cura Cloud slicer streamlines the 3D printing workflow. Users can now slice, manage, and print from a single platform, enhancing efficiency and collaboration across teams and time zones. The S8's compatibility with various operating systems, including macOS, Windows, and Linux, ensures a seamless user experience. Additionally, the printer supports a wide range of file formats such as STL, OBJ, X3D, and 3MF, catering to diverse user needs.
Digital Factory also offers a variety of subscription plans, allowing users to customise their options based on production needs. Whether creating prototypes or production-ready components, the S8 provides unmatched flexibility in the professional 3D printing market.
The expansion of Cura from desktop to cloud makes this powerful slicer accessible to all Digital Factory users. Additionally, the latest Cura 5.10 beta release includes optimised print and material profile settings to further streamline the process. Compatibility with the UltiMaker Marketplace also provides users the freedom to experiment with their choice of materials.
Built with future-proofing in mind, the S8 features a completely revamped electronics platform, offering five times the processing power of its predecessor. This significant upgrade ensures the printer can handle the demands of the advanced motion planner and supports future updates, securing long-term productivity. The robust design and enhanced processing capabilities make the S8 a reliable choice for businesses looking to invest in durable and efficient 3D printing technology.

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

Optional PVA Removal Station
Experience quicker and easier post-processing when using PVA support material for complex parts or stunning visual prototypes, with the Ultimaker PVA Removal Station. Part of our start-to-finish 3D printing platform, it ensures quicker design iterations with minimal operator time and no mess.
A rinsing basket keeps your print in place and completely submerged while dissolving, then lifts up for mess-free draining and print removal.
MAIN FEATURES:
- ROTOR-POWERED CIRCULATION: A magnetic rotor circulates water to reach all parts of your 3D print
- ADJUSTABLE ROTOR SPEED: Adjust for faster dissolving or to protect fragile parts
- KEEPS PRINTS SECURED: A rinsing basket keeps prints in place and submerged
- EASY TO FOLLOW PROGRESS: A transparent, illuminated container makes it easy to know exactly when your part is ready
- LOW MAINTENANCE: Ergonomically designed for easy cleaning
- NO CHEMICALS NEEDED: Just fill with regular tap water, which can be safely disposed of when finished
- CLEAN & NO MESS: Ergonomic design features help keep your workspace clean and tidy
A transparent, illuminated container lets you easily follow the PVA removal process and see when your part is ready. Plus, a saturation indicator shows when to refresh the water.
The Ultimaker PVA Removal Station features a high-speed dissolving process driven by a magnetic rotor. Compared with motionless water in an improvised container, it removes PVA up to four times faster – even from hard-to-reach cavities in complex designs. So you have parts ready as soon as possible.
The PVA Removal Station requires only a few minutes of operator time per print, and almost zero maintenance. Just press the start button. Leave it to spin. And collect your print when it’s ready.
Choose 100 or 225 RPM circulation depending on the fragility of your part. Every two minutes, the rotor changes direction to push water evenly against the model. A rinsing basket keeps your print in place and completely submerged while dissolving, then lifts up for mess-free draining and print removal.
