Whether you're working from home or in the office, send secure print jobs via the cloud to Ultimaker 3D printers on your network. Then stay informed of print progress thanks to remote device monitoring.
Manage access across your business
When it comes to who can 3D print – you decide. Via the organization management page, the Ultimaker software platform lets admins invite users, give them admin rights, or remove 3D printing access entirely.
Cloud-hosted, globally accessible
A central Digital Library of internally developed applications means your designers and engineers can access the parts and tools they need, wherever they are
Direct software support
Reduce downtime, reduce disruptions – direct software support means you're back on track as soon as possible
Role-based courses put you in control
Associate e-learning courses for application engineers and 3D printing operator ensure you start off on the right foot
Hardware Features
No more filament? No more worries
Even if you run out of material, finish your print and maintain high uptime. Dual filament flow sensors detect if either spool runs out. Your printer will pause and notify you to add more before resuming.
Perfect build plate adhesion – without the hassle
Multi-point probing with the print head's capacitive sensor compensates for tiny variations in build plate topography, resulting in an always-perfect first layer.
Say goodbye to bed adhesion issues
Advanced active leveling with the Ultimaker S3 means you can start your print and stay focused on your work. The print head's capacitive sensor automatically detects microscopic variations in the build area topography and compensates with Z-axis offsets.
Start 3D printing in 30 minutes
Anyone can 3D print using the Ultimaker S3. Our machines are so easy to use that, after a 30-minute introduction, customers feel confident to start 3D printing their own designs – with no need for a dedicated operator.
Save time with tested, predefined print settings
Take advantage of tested and predefined print settings with Ultimaker Cura. These settings not only include Ultimaker's own materials, but also a growing library of print profiles from leading materials brands, available via Ultimaker Marketplace.
A perfect fit for your desktop
The Ultimaker S3 fits easily on any desktop. Its internal design allows both nozzles to reach the whole build plate. That wider nozzle coverage means that no space is wasted and offers an increased build-volume-to-size ratio.
3D printing materials. The choice is yours
The Ultimaker S3 is compatible with almost any 2.85 mm filament. 3D print with third-party materials as easily as Ultimaker filament, with predefined print settings on Ultimaker Marketplace – including carbon fiber-reinforced composites for high-strength parts.
