UltiMaker S8 Installation and user manual
Mechanical safety
Pinching and entanglement hazard. Do not reach into the top area of the printer during operation due to a
pinching hazard. Do not lean over the printer or gantry during operation due to the risk of entanglement of
hair, jewelry, and/or scarves. This may cause minor pain, but no significant injury to the user is expected from
pinching or entanglement by the drive belts.
Crushing or pinching hazard. The force of the build plate is limited but may cause minor injury, so
stay out of the reach of the build plate during operation. For maintenance processes, always follow the
instructions on the display.
Note: Keep the door closed during operation unless explicitly stated otherwise for certain
(maintenance) processes.
Risk of burns
Hot surface hazard. There is a potential risk of burns: the print cores of UltiMaker 3D printers can reach
temperatures above 200 °C, while the heated bed can reach temperatures above 100 °C. Do not touch
hot parts with your bare hands. This symbol is placed on the print head and the build plate to warn the
user about this hazard.
Warning: Allow UltiMaker 3D printers to cool down sufficiently before reaching inside, or performing
maintenance or modifications, unless explicitly stated otherwise for certain processes. Always wait until the
display indicates that the build plate has cooled down to a safe temperature.
Emission hazard
During 3D printing, Ultrafine Particles (UFPs), Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs), and other chemical substances
may be emitted. Above certain concentrations (Threshold Limit Values, TLV), these emissions can pose a risk.
Concentrations are influenced by the filament and adhesive used, print conditions (e.g. print temperature), room
volume, Air Exchange Rate (AER), and number of printers in a room.
The UltiMaker S8 has an integrated Air Manager, which filters Ultrafine Particles generated during the
3D printing process.
UltiMaker products are designed for use with UltiMaker materials and are open for use with materials from
third-party suppliers.
Safe use information for UltiMaker materials
UltiMaker materials can be printed safely without any additional filtering using the recommended temperatures and
settings in a well-ventilated area (minimum refresh rate or AER of 1.8 for a room size of 30.6 m3). When multiple
UltiMaker 3D printers are operated in a contained environment, concentrations of UFPs and/or VOCs will increase.
Depending on the specific situation, please consider other safety measures, such as a dedicated ventilation system.
Safe use information for third-party materials
Make sure to check with your material supplier whether additional risks and safety measures apply. Additional
safety measures may be required for the safe usage of such materials. Always take the relevant information
provided by the supplier of third-party materials into account for safe operation. Please check the safety data sheet
of each specific material for information. UltiMaker cannot be held responsible for any adverse effects from the use
and/or performance of third-party materials.
Magnetic field
Static magnetic field hazard. Due to the static magnetic field caused by the magnets in the printer, keep a
distance of at least 4 cm (1.5 in) between these magnets and any implanted electronic medical devices and
implants containing ferromagnetic materials. Magnets are used in the build plate, print head, feeders, and
Material Station door.
