Ultimaker unveils their new S5 3D printer

Ultimaker, the Dutch manufacturer of desktop 3D printers, has revealed their new machine, the Ultimaker S5. Presented at the Hannover Fair, the S5 includes a larger build volume, a touch screen, resealable windows, a mobile application and the capability of working with more materials. Already available for pre-order, the Ultimaker S5 will be marketed at a price of €6,594.

Ultimaker is one of the leaders in the office 3D printing market, with a range of melting machines recognized for their ease of use and quality. Ultimaker is expanding this range by offering a double extrusion machine with a larger print volume of 330 x 240 x 300 mm (compared to 215 x 150 x 200 mm for the Ultimaker 3). Ultimaker has also revised the automatic compensation of the build plate which will reduce instability during printing.

“The development of the Ultimaker S5, in combination with the new material solutions and the Ultimaker App, sets a new standard for smart and accessible professional 3D printing,” said Jos Burger, CEO of Ultimaker. “Our commitment to building a complete 3D printing solution, from hardware to software and materials, offers our growing professional user base an increasingly integrated, automated and reliable print process with a very high success rate. The time needed to configure this new 3D printer is lower than ever, which allows users to fully focus on the creation of functional prototypes, larger objects and other designs and models that require full geometrical design freedom capabilities. Combined with our continuously updated software and our global sales and service network, we have made local digital manufacturing a reality.”
