UltiMaker S3
A desktop 3D printer with dual extruders, the UltiMaker S3 is reliable and resilient enough to print with carbon fibre and glass, along with materials such as ABS, PETG and Tough PLA. This compact machine has many innovations designed to improve the quality of parts it produces, including active levelling, which removes the need for fiddly manual levelling and lets you print unattended. The UltiMaker S3 is simple to operate thanks to an intuitive touchscreen interface, and features a flow sensor to inform you when the filament has run out, making your life easier. The S3 has been designed to be so simple to use, it can be put to work by a novice after just 30 minutes of introductory information.

Over 190 materials
This flexible machine enables you to use virtually any third-party filament, along with those made by UltiMaker, with over 190 verified parameters available to download from the UltiMaker Marketplace. In addition to multiple plastic and carbon fibre options, an optional metal expansion kit lets you print ‘green’ stainless-steel parts with a hassle-free de-bind and sintering service
PVA removal station
