The UltiMaker S8 is the fastest printer in the S series, and the one to specify when throughput is the constraint. UltiMaker rate it at up to four times the productivity of its predecessor while holding print quality to 0.15mm ± 0.15% — so a busy workshop gets more parts off the plate without loosening tolerance.
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
- Print quality of 0.15mm ± 0.15%
- Redesigned feeder system and a built-in accelerometer for motion calibration
- Fully enclosed build chamber
- Works with UltiMaker Cura and Digital Factory for slicing and fleet management
About the Cheetah motion planner: it is a jerk-limited planner, meaning it blends corners rather than making abrupt direction changes. The practical effect is less ringing and ghosting on vertical faces at high speed, and less mechanical wear on the machine over a long duty cycle.
Materials:
- Open filament system taking any 2.85mm material
- Runs PLA, Tough PLA, ABS, Nylon, PC, PET CF, PPS CF and other engineering and composite filaments
- CC+ cores handle abrasive composites
Who it suits: engineering and manufacturing programmes, university faculties and TAFE workshops running a printer as shared equipment rather than a demonstration piece. If speed is not the constraint, the S6 Flex covers the same build volume for less.
