High flow print cores
The new AA+ and CC+ print cores, exclusive the the UltiMaker S8 have a new quad-chamber design that allows for 2.5x more flow and also help with regulating the pressure in the print head for cleaner prints.
Optional 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.
Cura integration
Access the UltiMaker Cura features that speed up your workflow and increase print success – like intent profiles, easy remote printing, and more.
Updated feeder system
New hardened feeder module design inherited from Factor 4 for improved grip and better material control at high speeds.
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.
Optional EPA filter
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.
