UltiMaker S6 3D Printer
SKU: 62-237666
Description
Overview
The UltiMaker S6 is the next evolution in UltiMaker’s S-Line, delivering professional dual-extrusion 3D printing with advanced material handling and flexibility. Designed for reliability, precision, and ease of use, the S6 expands on the S3 by offering more print core options, enhanced build plate flexibility, and seamless integration into professional workflows.
With the choice of glass or flexible build plates, engineers and designers can optimize prints for adhesion, part removal, and surface quality. Like the S3, it’s equipped with a swappable print core system (AA, BB, CC), enabling reliable printing of standard filaments, soluble supports, and composite materials such as carbon fiber and glass-filled polymers.

Glass vs. Flexible Build Plate
| Feature | Glass Build Plate | Flexible Steel Build Plate |
|---|---|---|
| Surface Finish | Smooth bottom finish | Slightly textured bottom finish |
| Adhesion | Excellent for PLA and general materials | Enhanced grip for engineering/composite filaments |
| Part Removal | Requires cooling before removal (manual lift) | Easy removal by flexing the plate |
| Durability | Long-lasting, scratch-resistant | Replaceable surface, less prone to breakage |
| Best For | Visual models, prototypes, educational prints | Functional parts, composites, frequent printing |
Model Comparison
| Model | Build Volume | Key Difference | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|
| UltiMaker S3 | 230 × 190 × 200 mm | Compact, dual extrusion | Desktop prototyping & education |
| UltiMaker S6 | 230 × 190 × 200 mm | Glass & flexible plate options, wider material handling | Prototyping & composites printing |
| UltiMaker S5 | 330 × 240 × 300 mm | Larger build volume | Bigger prototypes & tooling |
| UltiMaker S7 | 330 × 240 × 300 mm | Enhanced air management & flexible plate standard | Advanced materials & reliability |
