The innovative material solution for industrial FDM 3D printing with the Ultimaker S5/S6/S7/S8.
The Ultimaker Material Station is a filament box that can hold up to six spools at a time. Thanks to its smart connection to the Ultimaker S5/S6/S7/S8 3D printer, the filament spools can be loaded and unloaded automatically. This ensures that as soon as a filament spool used in a print job runs out, a new, equivalent spool is automatically reloaded—without any user intervention. The Material Station thus creates new capabilities for a more automated printing process in FDM 3D printing.
Up to six spools can be loaded simultaneously via the convenient front flap. A conveyor system moves them into position so that the materials are ready for use. We recommend using 750 g spools in combination with the Material Station.
The Ultimaker Material Station also serves as a filament drying box. Through intelligent control of temperature and humidity, the internal humidity of the chamber is consistently maintained below 40%. This allows even hygroscopic materials such as nylon (polyamides) or PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) to be stored safely. The Material Station’s feed mechanism is made of hardened steel, so even composite materials such as carbon fiber, glass fiber, or Kevlar can be used without any issues.
Of course, the Ultimaker Material Station is fully integrated into the Ultimaker ecosystem: material profiles can be selected in Cura for the Material Station, and original Ultimaker filament spools are automatically recognized via the NFC chip. The Material Station thus simplifies everyday 3D printing and enables professional, automated production.
Key features:
-
Simple and fast material handling: Up to six spools can be loaded in just a few seconds via the front door.
-
Continuous printing: Sensors detect when a filament is empty and automatically reload an equivalent material.
-
Humidity control: The humidity inside the chamber remains consistently below 40%.
-
Easy installation and control: NFC chips detect the spools used for seamless integration with Ultimaker software.
-
Composite-compatible: Wear-resistant feed wheels made of hardened steel enable the use of engineering materials.
-
Flexible configuration: Six frequently used filaments ready for use at any time.
