Manage 3D print materials and air quality with one unique production solution

SINGAPORE - Media OutReach - 25 September 2019 - Ultimaker,the global leader in desktop 3D printing, today unveiled the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle. The Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle consists of the award-winning Ultimaker S5, the new Ultimaker S5 Air Manager and Ultimaker S5 Material Station, which seamlessly integrate with each other.This unique solution is tested to be left unattended 24/7 and significantlyimproves the 3D printing workflow and productivity, giving engineers theflexibility to spend more time on doing their best job and less time managingand monitoring their desktop 3D printer. 

Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle

The Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle transforms professional workflows through automatedmaterial management, boosting productivity, flexibility and confidence tounlock more industrial focused applications. 

• Ultimaker S5 Air Manager 

The Ultimaker S5Air Manager provides a closed, inside-out air flow forthe Ultimaker S5, leading to a better controlled environment insidethe printer and filters out up to 95 percent of all ultrafine particles createdwhile printing. This reduction enables a wider range of materialsto safely print with and results in a safer workenvironment as it creates an effective physical barrier that stopsanyone touching hot or moving parts. It offers professionals peace of mind whenprinting, while reducing the risk of print interruptions.  

• Ultimaker S5 Material Station 

The Ultimaker S5Material Station redefines filament storage and delivery, enabling atrue 24/7 dual extrusion workflow that supports higher productivity andconsistency of the 3D printing output. The Ultimaker S5 MaterialStation allows users to load filament spools -- including glass and carbon fibercomposites -- in 6 bays that have abrasive-resistant pre-feeders.Constant supervision is no longer needed, and material can easily beuploaded at the front of the printer in seconds, not minutes. Silica gelextracts moisture and automatically regenerates, keeping the fully enclosedchamber below 40 percent relative humidity -- even in outsideconditions of up to 70 percent humidity. 

• Ultimaker S5 

The Ultimaker S5,launched in April 2018, forms the heart of this future-ready solution. With itshighly reliable print results, larger buildvolume, and award-winning, intuitive touchinterface, the Ultimaker S5 is still the ultimate professionalsolution for printing larger functional prototypes, manufacturing tools, andend-use parts. 

"The Ultimaker S5Pro Bundle truly embodies the meaning of hassle-free 3D printing," saysPaul Heiden, Senior Vice President of Product Managementat Ultimaker. "Our goal is to make 3D printing easy,reliable and accessible in order to accelerate the world's transition todigital distribution and local manufacturing. We have heard many professional users expressa need for a more enclosed 3D printing environment and weunderstand the desire for good, dry material storage and smart materialhandling in order to reduce the risks of humidity, dust and human error.The Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle tackles it all and completes our visionof the ultimate office 3D printing experience. This solution enablesusers to take their 3D printing applications to a new level of quality andconsistency, with greater flexibility, efficiency and confidence." 

Hugoda Silva, VP Additive Manufacturing, DSM 
"The inclusion ofthe Ultimaker S5 Air Managerand Ultimaker S5 Material Station with thesuccessful Ultimaker S5 is another step toward taking additivemanufacturing into production environments. The additional functionality willallow engineering materials, such as those of DSM, to be printed more safelyand consistently. This will bring additive manufacturing technology withinreach of many more players and help us manufacture tomorrow." 

ThomasCollet, Director Marketing - Business Unit Customized Polymer Materials, Lehmann&Voss&Co. 

"The Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle is an excellent new product thatenables more reliable production of 3D printed parts. Our 3D printingmaterials are dedicated to industrial applications. This means consistentquality of both materials and printing processes are essential. As a materialproducer, we are especially excited about the Ultimaker S5 MaterialStation, which reduces environmental influences on materials."  

Roger Sijlbing, Head ofSales - Additive Extrusion Systems, BASF 3D Printing Solutions

"AtBASF, we develop engineering materials for additive manufacturing to enableindustrial solutions. Whether you're on a shop floor, R&D lab, or anoffice, a safe environment is key. The added value ofthe Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle is the ability to manage amaterial's environment during printing, and we have experienced first-handthe influence moisture uptake and airflow can have on the mechanical propertiesof a printed part. These new solutions are great additionsto enable industrial applications with FFF printing."
