Key Features
What's included
The UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit includes:
- BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH (1 kg)
- BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® Support Layer (300 g)³
- Packaging for green parts and a voucher toward post-processing
- Ultimaker Print Core CC 0.4

BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH
BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH is an ideal stainless steel for high-strength and stiff parts. It is also capable of withstanding the harshest operating conditions thanks to its excellent corrosion and heat resistance.
These properties are achieved through a proven catalytic debinding and sintering process used for traditional metal injection molding.
Post-processing
Each UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit includes a voucher toward post-processing your 3D print into a full metal part within 10 business days.
CMG Technologies provides debinding and sintering services in the UK for additively manufactured metal parts. They are highly experienced in the precision manufacture of Metal Injection Moulded components

Software
The UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit unlocks extra features inside the UltiMaker Cura 5 engine.
These make metal print preparation simpler – automatically and accurately compensating for shrinkage that happens during sintering across all axes. You gain better control over your part and increased metal print success.
E-learning
New to metal 3D printing? The UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit gives every user access to an exclusive, 1-hour e-learning course.
Get step-by-step guidance through the full workflow. And learn to successfully create high-quality metal parts with an Ultimaker printer.
An end-to-end metal 3D printing workflow
The UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit provides access to software optimizations, post- processing services, and extensive e-learning modules.
Plus, UltiMaker Cura 5 includes metal FFF features to give you full control and ensure a high-quality metal part.

Metal parts. Up to 90% cheaper
The UltiMaker S5 and UltiMaker S7 low total cost of ownership and small size makes it easy to adopt and scale an affordable metal 3D printing solution.
Compared to CNC and other additive methods, you can save up to 90% creating the metal tools and parts you need.
No hardware modifications needed
To 3D print metal on the UltiMaker S7, simply swap out the print cores, load the NFC-equipped metal filament, and start your print.
Plastic or metal? You decide
Being able to 3D print either plastic or metal on the UltiMaker S5 opens up a wider range of potential applications.
And because you can quickly and easily switch between materials by changing out the print cores, your printer becomes even more versatile.

CMG Technologies provides debinding and sintering services in the UK for additively manufactured metal parts. They are highly experienced in the precision manufacture of Metal Injection Moulded components. Metal Injection Moulding (MIM) is a manufacturing process that involves manipulating metal powders to behave like a plastic by mixing them with polymer binders to form a feedstock. This feedstock is used to injection mould net shaped, precision components. Parts are then thermally processed to remove the binder system and finally they are sintered to a high density metal component with comparable mechanical properties to wrought materials. Intricate and complex 3D geometries that in the past have been either very difficult or very costly to produce through traditional manufacturing methods such as 5 axis CNC machining, can be readily achieved with metal powder injection moulding and at significantly reduced prices and lead-times.
Debinding & Sintering Process
When you purchase an Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit you will be supported by our dedicated additive experts at each step of the MFFF process. We understand each business requires a specific solution to optimise the incredible ROI that this solution can generate. Please note that price per application can vary dependant on weight.
