3D printer UltiMaker S8 Secure

3D printer UltiMaker S8 Secure

Introducing the 3D printer UltiMaker S8 Secure, the definitive solution for manufacturing high-quality parts within secure and demanding environments. Developed in the EU and engineered specifically for defense, government, and enterprise sectors, the S8 Secure offers proven performance that has been enhanced with hardened security protocols. It boosts productivity by up to 4x compared to its predecessor, featuring improved print quality, a fully air-gapped operation, and NATO-aligned compliance to ensure you have complete control and mission-readiness for your most critical projects.

Uncompromising Security for Mission-Critical Production

Your Data Stays With You

The UltiMaker S8 Secure is specifically engineered to be a fortress for your intellectual property. It functions in a completely air-gapped environment with USB-only workflows. With no Wi-Fi, no cameras, and no connections to unverified devices, it closes the door on vulnerabilities like data theft or Trojan-horse attacks, guaranteeing your sensitive data remains totally isolated and completely under your control.

European-Built and Trusted by Global Leaders

TAA Compliant for Official Procurement

Our dedication to security is rooted in our European-based design and manufacturing. By adhering to rigorous EU and US regulations, we provide a trusted, verifiable solution that guarantees the integrity of your data and the reliability of your supply chain. The UltiMaker S8 Secure is fully TAA compliant and available on GSA, making it an approved and ready-to-deploy solution for government and defense agencies worldwide.

Chosen by Premier Defense and Engineering Organizations

The reliability and robust security of the UltiMaker platform are valued by leading global institutions, including:

• United States Military Academy West Point

• Naval Station Norfolk

• Lockheed Martin

• U.S. Army

• Royal Netherlands Navy (Koninklijke Marine)

Ready for Critical On-Demand Manufacturing

The S8 Secure is constructed with advanced hardware and software security features for professional deployment. It delivers the same speed, precision, and open-material ecosystem as the standard S8, but now hardened for defense applications. This capability enables the on-demand production of mission-critical tools, replacement parts, and functional prototypes, significantly minimizing downtime and reducing your dependence on vulnerable external supply chains.

Advanced Hardware for Peak Performance

High-Throughput Dual Extrusion

The sophisticated dual-extrusion print head, working in concert with intelligent software, allows you to print with any two compatible materials. This system guarantees high reliability and minimal material waste, enabling you to produce complex geometries with soluble supports or parts with multiple performance materials in a single, uninterrupted print job.

Upgraded Feeder for High-Speed Reliability

Inherited from the advanced UltiMaker Factor 4, the S8 Secure features a newly hardened feeder module. This upgraded design provides an improved grip and superior material control, ensuring flawless and consistent filament extrusion even at the highest printing speeds.

Magnetic Flexible Build Plate for Faster Workflows

Forget using glue and remove parts with ease using the PEI-coated flexible build plate. Its innovative design utilizes 25 magnets and 4 alignment pins for a perfect, repeatable setup every time, dramatically boosting your productivity and simplifying your workflow.

Integrated EPA Filtration for Improved Air Quality

The fully enclosed build chamber not only improves print quality but also features an integrated EPA filter. This system is independently tested to remove up to 95% of ultrafine particles (UFPs), improving air quality and providing greater peace of mind in any office, workshop, or deployed environment.

Built for Reliability and Long-Term Service

The UltiMaker S8 Secure is engineered for durability and is backed by comprehensive support. It includes a standard 2-year service plan, with optional extensions available for up to 5 years of coverage. Furthermore, critical maintenance parts are guaranteed to be available for 5-7 years, ensuring the long-term operational readiness of your critical manufacturing asset.
