Intended use
UltiMaker 3D printers are designed and built for fused filament fabrication mainly within a commercial, professional,
or industrial environment. The mixture of precision and speed makes UltiMaker 3D printers very suitable for concept
models, functional prototypes, and small series production.
UltiMaker 3D printers, including the UltiMaker S8, are compatible with an increasing range of materials available
in our Marketplace and optimized for usage with UltiMaker materials. While being an open material platform,
the best results will be achieved with UltiMaker materials, as effort has been made to match material properties
with machine settings.
Although we achieved a very high standard in the reproduction of 3D models with the usage of UltiMaker Cura, the
user remains responsible for qualifying and validating the application of the printed object for its intended use. This
is especially critical for applications in strictly regulated areas like medical devices and aeronautics.
Tip: See section 2.1 for a description of the UltiMaker S8 and its components.
