Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle Brings Industrial Production Power to the Office

LONG BEACH, Calif., Sept. 24, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- 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 significantly improves the 3D printing workflow and productivity, giving engineers the flexibility to spend more time on doing their best job and less time managing and monitoring their desktop 3D printer.?

The?Ultimaker?S5 Pro Bundle transforms professional workflows through automated material management, boosting productivity, flexibility and confidence to unlock more?industrial focused applications.?

    --  Ultimaker?S5 Air Manager? The?Ultimaker?S5 Air Manager provides a
        closed, inside-out air flow for the?Ultimaker?S5, leading to a better
        controlled environment inside the printer and filters out up to 95
        percent of all ultrafine particles created while printing. This
        reduction?enables?a wider range of materials to?safely?print with?and
        results in a safer work environment?as?it creates an effective physical
        barrier that stops anyone touching hot or moving parts. It offers
        professionals peace of mind when printing,?while reducing the risk of
        print interruptions.?



    --  Ultimaker?S5 Material Station? The?Ultimaker?S5 Material
        Station?redefines?filament storage and delivery, enabling a true 24/7
        dual extrusion workflow that supports higher productivity and
        consistency of the 3D printing output. The?Ultimaker?S5 Material Station
        allows users to load filament spools - including glass and carbon fiber
        composites?-?in 6 bays that have abrasive-resistant pre-feeders.
        Constant supervision is no longer needed,?and material can easily be
        uploaded at the front of the printer in seconds, not minutes. Silica gel
        extracts moisture and automatically regenerates, keeping the fully
        enclosed chamber below 40?percent?relative humidity - even in outside
        conditions of up to 70?percent?humidity.?

    --  Ultimaker?S5? The?Ultimaker?S5, launched in April 2018, forms the heart
        of this future-ready solution. With its highly reliable print results,
        larger build volume,?and?award-winning, intuitive touch
        interface,?the?Ultimaker?S5 is still the ultimate professional solution
        for printing larger functional prototypes, manufacturing tools, and
        end-use parts.?

"The?Ultimaker?S5 Pro Bundle truly embodies the meaning of hassle-free 3D printing," says Paul?Heiden, Senior Vice President of Product Management at?Ultimaker.?"Our goal is to?make 3D printing?easy, reliable and accessible in order to accelerate the world's transition to digital distribution and local manufacturing.?We have heard?many?professional?users?express a?need?for a more?enclosed 3D printing environment?and we understand the desire for good, dry material storage and smart?material handling in order to reduce the risks of humidity, dust and human error. The?Ultimaker?S5 Pro Bundle tackles it all and completes our vision of the ultimate office 3D printing experience. This?solution?enables users to take their 3D printing applications to a new level of quality and consistency, with greater flexibility, efficiency and confidence."?

Hugo da Silva,?VP Additive Manufacturing,?DSM?
"The inclusion of the?Ultimaker?S5?Air Manager and?Ultimaker?S5?Material Station with the successful?Ultimaker?S5 is another step toward taking additive manufacturing into production environments. The additional functionality will allow engineering materials, such as those of DSM, to be printed more safely and?consistently. This will bring additive manufacturing technology within reach of many more players and help us manufacture tomorrow."?

Thomas Collet,?Director Marketing - Business Unit Customized Polymer Materials, Lehmann&Voss&Co.
"The?Ultimaker?S5 Pro Bundle is an excellent new product that enables?more reliable production of 3D printed parts. Our 3D printing materials are dedicated to industrial applications. This means consistent quality of both materials and printing processes are essential. As a material producer, we are especially excited about the?Ultimaker?S5 Material Station, which reduces environmental influences on materials." ?

Roger?Sijlbing,?Head of Sales - Additive Extrusion Systems,?BASF 3D Printing Solutions
"At BASF, we develop engineering materials for additive manufacturing to enable industrial solutions. Whether you're on a shop floor, R&D lab, or an office, a safe environment is key.?The added value of the?Ultimaker?S5 Pro Bundle?is the ability to manage a material's environment during printing, and?we have experienced first-hand the influence moisture uptake and airflow can have on the mechanical properties of a printed part.?These?new?solutions?are great additions to enable industrial applications with FFF printing."?

Availability?and pricing?
The?Ultimaker?S5 Pro Bundle?costs?$9,100 USD and?is available starting October 18, 2019 through Ultimaker's?network of global partners.?Updated third-party material print profiles?for the?Ultimaker?S5 Pro Bundle?will be made available?in the Marketplace in?Ultimaker?Cura.?For more information and pricing, please visit?our product page or read our blog post.
