Print more. Wait Less.
Double your 3D printing speed with the S series
UltiMaker S series 3D printers have had a boost. They now print up to twice as fast. This means you can achieve print success rates of 95%+ at even faster speeds. Powered by UltiMaker Cura – the world's most popular 3D printing slicer – and our print cores and materials, you can accelerate both your print speed without compromising your print success.
Under the hood of Cura's speed improvements
Limited material flow jumps
Ultimaker Cura 5.5 speeds up the handling of material flow rates and nozzle pressures when switching between line types (e.g. inner walls, outer walls, infill) with no loss of print quality
Optimised speed profiles
The print speed and print acceleration is now standardized across a wider range of line types. They have been further fine-tuned when printing with Draft, Engineering and Visual Intent Profiles
Smooth internal wall pathing
Some thicker walls used to be printed alont a zig-zag path. Now they are printed in smooth circles. This reduces print time and jerky movements

Meet print success.
The 3D printing success formula
Sure, speed is important. But it’s only one part of the equation. At UltiMaker, we achieve print success rates of 95% or more. And that doesn’t mean just reaching the end of the print job. It’s about strong, accurate 3D prints that match your requirements. It’s about resetting the 3D printer faster. All with a hassle-free experience. To the point where your UltiMaker seems like another team member – working tirelessly day and night.
Meet the UltiMaker Speed Kit
Print core 0.8. The fastest way to iterate
The UltiMaker Speed Kit provides everything you need to 3D print at full speed. Available for a limited time, this includes 2x 0.8 mm print cores for build materials and 2x 0.8 mm print cores for support material. So you spend less time waiting for print jobs and more time iterating with complete design freedom. And so that nothing slows you down, we have added 4x spools of material to keep you printing. Plus, an STL mount to keep your print cores in easy reach.
Make one day of iteration feel like two
Shorter development cycles
Make quicker design adjustments with your latest 3D printed iteration always ready for the next meeting so you can get clear, hands-on feedback from stakeholders or operators.
More agile production
React faster to changing market demands. Custom solutions can be approved within days instead of weeks, enabling more consumer-centric production.
Faster time to market
Take advantage of new opportunities as soon as they are identified by launching new products faster than the competition and capture a larger market share.
Supply chain resilience
Produce parts and tools from a digital inventory within a day’s notice, cutting warehousing costs and safeguarding against disrupted supply chains.
Accelerated ROI
Increased print success allows you to break even faster on your 3D printing investment. This frees up time to focus on driving innovation and efficiencies.
Integrated workflow
UltiMaker software offers seamless integration with all UltiMaker 3D printers and boasts CAD plugin compatibility with industry-standard software such as SolidWorks, Siemens NX, Autodesk Inventor, and more.
