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.
This is possible via BASF's network of certified debinding and sintering services. Via an online portal, you can book your part's post-processing on the calendar and check in on your part's progress at any time.
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.
Freedom to design high-quality steel parts
17-4 PH stainless steel plus a metal-optimized support material³ offers the freedom to create strong parts with complex geometries.
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's 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.
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.
