UltiMaker S6 Pro Bundle for faster, higher-throughput professional 3D printing

The UltiMaker S6 Flex Pro Bundle is a professional 3D printing package that combines the UltiMaker S6 with a Material Station and Air Manager to deliver faster production, longer unattended printing, and a more streamlined workflow. Building on the award-winning S5 platform, the S6 keeps the versatility and modularity that made the earlier system widely used while adding major productivity-focused upgrades.

UltiMaker positions the S6 as faster, smarter, and more accessible, with productivity gains of up to 4x over the S5. Key changes include the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, enhanced bed levelling, a new dual drive feeder, and a flexible build plate in the box, all designed to maximise the capabilities of the UltiMaker ecosystem.

Built on the S5 platform with S8-level speed and accessibility

The UltiMaker S6 Pro Bundle builds directly on the legacy of the UltiMaker S5, preserving the platform's familiar modular design while adding performance upgrades aimed at higher output. The result is S5-class versatility with S8-like productivity gains, while reliability remains a core priority.

Improved motion control, better bed levelling, a stronger feeder system, and a flexible build surface work together to reduce setup friction and support consistent printing at higher speeds.

Key features that improve speed, workflow, and reliability

UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner for higher productivity

The UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner is a core part of the S6 performance upgrade. It works alongside redesigned high flow print cores, a built-in accelerometer, a new feeder system, and improved firmware to unlock new levels of efficiency.

These changes are aimed at increasing throughput without moving away from the reliability expected from the UltiMaker platform.

Digital Factory for slicing, file management, and maintenance

Digital Factory is the central software environment for managing the full 3D printing workflow. It is designed to streamline slicing, file management, and maintenance tasks in one place.

The platform is scalable for individuals, teams, and enterprise environments, making collaborative print management easier and more structured across multiple users or machines.

Flexible build plate for easier part removal

The included PEI-coated flexible build plate is designed to reduce print preparation and post-print handling time. Users can skip glue and remove printed parts more easily, which helps improve day-to-day workflow efficiency.

The patent-pending build plate design uses 25 magnets and 4 pins for alignment, helping the plate seat consistently and reducing time spent working directly at the printer. An optional glass build plate is also available.

Dual extrusion for combining two different materials

The dual extrusion system is designed to work with software and firmware features so the printer can combine any 2 materials, even when those materials differ significantly. The system is intended to maintain low material waste and high reliability.

This capability supports more advanced print strategies, including parts that require distinct material properties within the same print job.

High flow print cores for cleaner output at higher throughput

The new AA+ and CC+ print cores developed for the UltiMaker S6 use a quad-chamber design. This design enables 2.5x more flow and also helps regulate pressure in the print head for cleaner prints.

Higher flow capacity supports the S6 productivity improvements while maintaining controlled material delivery through the print head.

Material Station support for longer unattended printing

The Material Station is designed to let the UltiMaker S6 print for longer periods unattended, including day and night operation. Loading material into the Material Station takes seconds, not minutes, helping reduce interruptions between jobs.

Because the S6 is backwards compatible with the Material Station, users can integrate the printer into established UltiMaker workflows while gaining the newer S6 speed and handling improvements.

Cura integration for a smoother print workflow

UltiMaker Cura integration gives users access to workflow tools that help increase print success and reduce manual steps. Available features include intent profiles, easy remote printing, and other workflow-enhancing tools.

This integration supports a more connected software-to-printer process for preparing and launching print jobs.

Updated feeder system for better grip and control at high speeds

The updated feeder system uses a new hardened feeder module design inherited from Factor 4. The design improves grip and gives better material control during higher-speed printing.

For users printing demanding materials or running long jobs, stronger feed performance helps support more stable extrusion behaviour.

24-month warranty and reliability-focused design

The UltiMaker S6 is presented as a reliability-focused machine built for sustained use. That reliability is backed by a 24-month UltiMaker warranty.

This combination of throughput improvements and warranty support makes the platform suitable for users who need productivity gains without moving away from established, dependable operation.

Air Manager for filtration and enclosed print quality benefits

The included Air Manager uses an EPA filter and has been independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles. This supports improved air quality peace of mind in indoor workspaces.

The fully enclosed build chamber also helps boost print quality, making the Air Manager relevant for users who want both environmental control and more stable print conditions.

Use cases for the UltiMaker S6 Flex Pro Bundle

• Professional prototyping: Higher throughput, cleaner pressure regulation, and improved material handling make the system suitable for iterative design work where more parts need to be produced in less time.
• Dual-material functional parts: The dual extrusion architecture supports prints that combine two different materials for support structures, multi-property components, or more complex geometry.
• Unattended print workflows: The Material Station and integrated software tools support longer print runs with less hands-on intervention, which is useful for studios, engineering teams, and educational labs.
• High-usage shared environments: Digital Factory, Cura integration, and modular UltiMaker ecosystem compatibility make the bundle a fit for collaborative settings where multiple users manage files, prints, and maintenance.
• Cleaner enclosed printing: The Air Manager and enclosed chamber are relevant for workspaces that want particulate reduction alongside improved print consistency.
