📘 Description
The UltiMaker S3 delivers professional dual-extrusion 3D printing in a compact footprint. Combining industrial-grade accuracy with classroom-friendly ease of use, the S3 empowers designers, engineers, and educators to create functional prototypes, visual models, and end-use parts.
Equipped with a swappable print core system (AA, BB, CC), the S3 seamlessly handles everything from simple PLA to high-strength composites and soluble supports. Its heated glass build plate, active bed leveling, and Cura software integration ensure reliable, high-quality prints every time.
With quiet operation (~50 dB), a built-in monitoring camera, and open material compatibility, the S3 is equally at home in offices, labs, or classrooms.
