UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit

UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit: stainless steel printing made simple

Unlock the ability to produce high-grade stainless steel parts on your desktop with the UltiMaker Metal Expansion Kit. Specifically designed for the UltiMaker S3 and S5, this all-in-one solution removes the traditional barriers to metal 3D printing. By combining specialised hardware, BASF Forward AM materials, and software optimisations, you can achieve up to 90% cost savings compared to CNC machining or other metal additive methods.

What is included in the kit?

• BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH (1 kg): Professional-grade stainless steel filament for high-strength, corrosion-resistant parts.
• BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® Support Layer (300 g): A specialised support material that ensures easy separation from the metal part after sintering.
• UltiMaker Print Core CC 0.4: A wear-resistant core designed to handle the abrasive nature of metal-filled filaments.
• UltiMaker Print Core DD 0.4: A dedicated support core specifically engineered for use with the Ultrafuse® Support Layer.
• Magigoo Pro Metal (50 ml): High-performance build plate adhesive to ensure perfect first-layer adhesion and prevent warping.
• Exclusive E-Learning & Software: Access to metal FFF modules on the UltiMaker Academy and optimised metal slicing features in UltiMaker Cura.
• Specialised Packaging: Secure transport materials for shipping your "green parts" to post-processing facilities.

Mandatory Safety & Filtration

When printing with metal filaments, ultra-fine particles are released. For a safe working environment, it is mandatory to use an enclosure with a filter:

• For UltiMaker S5: Must be used with the UltiMaker S5 Air Manager.
• For UltiMaker S3: Must be used with the UltiMaker S3 Top Cover.

Compatibility:

This kit is designed for professional S-Series printers:

• UltiMaker S5 (and S5 Pro Bundle)
• UltiMaker S3
