Gold standard for enterprise FDM printing. The S5 just works — consistently, reliably, day after day. Cura is the best consumer slicer available and the integration is flawless. Having a local network print queue means our team can send jobs remotely and pick them up later. Genuinely transforms a team's workflow.

The S5 is the workhorse of our engineering department. Network printing, a polished software stack, and genuine reliability for production-grade parts. Cura integration is seamless and the material hub makes working with Ultimaker's wide material portfolio easy. Industrial-grade reliability at a premium price.

Excellent reliability and software maturity. We've run this 24/7 for production runs and it handles the load without complaint. The dual extrusion with PVA supports enables highly complex geometries. The price is steep but the total cost of failed prints is very low, which matters in production.
