The UltiMaker S6 takes the S5's build volume and material range and adds the speed of the current generation. UltiMaker rate it at up to four times the productivity of its predecessor, which in a teaching context means a class gets through more rounds of prototyping in the same timetable slot — and iteration is where the learning happens.
Key specifications:
- Build volume 330 x 240 x 300mm, for single or dual extrusion
- Dual-extrusion print head with auto-nozzle lifting and swappable high-flow print cores
- UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner: travel speeds to 500mm/s and acceleration to 50,000mm/s²
- Extrusion flow rates up to 35mm³/s
- Dimensional tolerance of ±0.15mm
- PEI-coated flexible build plate, aligned by 25 magnets and 4 pins — parts release without glue
- AA+ and CC+ high-flow print cores, with around 2.5 times the flow of the previous generation
- Works with UltiMaker Cura and Digital Factory for slicing and fleet management
Materials:
- Open filament system taking any 2.85mm material
- Runs PLA, Tough PLA, ABS, Nylon, PC, PET CF and other engineering and composite filaments
- CC+ cores handle abrasive composites such as carbon-fibre-filled nylon
Who it suits: TAFE workshops, university design and engineering faculties, and senior design and technology programmes where parts need to hold a tolerance. For general classroom printing, our FlashForge range is the simpler and far cheaper option.
