Ultimaker S5 Ultimaker's 3-D fused-filament-fabrication printer is suited for making functional prototypes, manufacturing tools and end-use parts. It features an optimized touch-screen control, a dual-extrusion print head and a feeder system with a filament-flow sensor that pauses the print and notifies the user if the printer runs out of material. The Ultimaker S5 prints with a wide range of materials, including polylactic acid, PP, nylon and PC. Multiple printers can be connected via Wi-Fi.

What's new? The printer, which became available this spring.

Benefits Ease of use and reliability. Its enhanced active bed-leveling feature, filament-flow sensor and water-soluble support structures ensure dependability and minimal post-processing.
