UltiMaker S8 3D Printer — Fast, Precise, and Production-Ready
Meet the UltiMaker S8, a professional dual-extrusion 3D printer engineered for speed, accuracy, and reliability. Powered by the new Cheetah motion planner and optimized AA+ / CC+ high-flow print cores, the S8 delivers up to 4× higher productivity while maintaining dimensional accuracy around ±0.15 mm.* It’s the fastest desktop dual-material printer in UltiMaker’s S-Series—perfect for jigs & fixtures, end-use parts, and rapid prototypes.
Why Choose the UltiMaker S8?
- Blazing throughput with the Cheetah motion planner—travel speeds up to 500 mm/s and acceleration up to 50,000 mm/s², with smoother motion for cleaner surfaces.
- Next-gen + print cores (AA+ and CC+): new quad-chamber design enables about 2.5× more flow and stabilizes print-head pressure for sharper details at speed.
- Real-world accuracy: typical dimensional accuracy of ±0.15 mm ± 0.15% (tested on PLA/Tough PLA).
- Large build volume of 330 × 240 × 300 mm fits sizeable parts or multi-up trays.
- Dual-material freedom: combine any two materials—from PLA and PETG to carbon-fiber composites—across an open material platform (301+ options).
- Hardened, updated feeders, EPA filtration (up to 95% UFP removal), and a PEI-coated flexible build plate for easy part release and uptime.
- UltiMaker Cura & Digital Factory workflows—remote management, team collaboration, and intent profiles out of the box.
How the Cheetah Motion Planner Elevates Your Prints
The UltiMaker Cheetah planner is an advanced motion algorithm that blends corners and controls acceleration/jerk to reduce vibration at high speed—maintaining detail without over-reliance on heavy input shaping. In short: faster moves, smoother toolpaths, better parts.
High-Flow + Print Cores (AA+ / CC+)
Purpose-built for the S8, AA+ (general build) and CC+ (abrasive composites) print cores feature a quad-chamber nozzle architecture that increases melt flow and stabilizes pressure—so infill, perimeters, and overhangs look clean even at elevated speeds. They’re quick-swap and Cura-recognized to keep your printer producing, not pausing.

FAQ
Does the UltiMaker S8 use the Cheetah system?
Yes. The S8 is built around the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, enabling high speeds (up to 500 mm/s travel) and rapid acceleration (up to 50,000 mm/s²) while preserving print quality.
Which print cores are optimized for the S8?
The AA+ and CC+ high-flow print cores are designed specifically for the S8, featuring a quad-chamber nozzle that enables ~2.5× more flow and steadier extrusion pressure for cleaner results at speed.
What’s the build volume?
330 × 240 × 300 mm (13 × 9.4 × 11.8 in). Ideal for larger parts or multi-part trays.
Is it compatible with composite materials?
Yes. Pair the S8 with the CC+ core for abrasive, fiber-reinforced filaments (e.g., Nylon CF). The updated feeder system and open material platform support a broad range of engineering polymers and composites.
How accurate is it?
Typical dimensional accuracy is about ±0.15 mm ± 0.15% (tested on PLA/Tough PLA), thanks to Cheetah motion planning and the + print cores’ high-flow design.
