A range of features for Defence applications
Flexible build plate
Skip using glue and remove parts effortlessly with the PEI-coated flexible build plate. Its patent-pending design uses 25 magnets and 4 pins for perfect alignment – reducing the time spent using the S8 and increasing productivity.
Dual high flow print cores
The dual extrusion design works together with software and firmware features to allow you to combine any 2 materials no matter how different they are, which low material waste and high reliability.
Unprecedented Reliability & 24-Month Warranty
Starting with a 2-year service plan; optional extensions up to 5 years; maintenance parts available for 5-7 years.
Updated feeder system
New hardened feeder module design inherited from Factor 4 for improved grip and better material control at high speeds.
Integrated EPA filter on S8 optional on S6
Independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles to increase air quality peace of mind. The fully enclosed build chamber also boosts print quality.
