UltiMaker has taken many of the best features from the UltiMaker S5 and combined them into a smaller, more affordable device. The Ultimaker S3 delivers the same high-quality, composite-ready dual extrusion, with the same market-leading reliability and ease of use – just with a smaller build volume (230 x 190 x 200 mm or 9.1 x 7.4 x 7.9 inches).
Key features include:
- Network connectivity: Print via Wi-Fi, LAN, cloud, or with USB
- Touch screen: Effortless operation via an award-winning user interface
- Advanced active leveling: Reliable first-layer adhesion, enables unattended use
- Front enclosure: Improved printing environment for better print results
- Flow sensor: Stay informed when filament runs out to increase print success
- Easy setup and monitoring: With NFC material recognition and internal camera
- Composite materials compatible: Print parts with high strength and unique properties
From the ground up, every detail of the UltiMaker S3 has been designed and built to deliver the S-line print quality you would expect. Inside the UltiMaker S3, you'll find:
- Reinforced feeder wheels made from coated, hardened steel. These enable abrasion-resistant 3D printing for high-strength parts using glass or carbon fiber composites (when paired with UltiMaker print core CC Red)
- Dual filament flow sensors that increase your print success rate. If you run out of filament, they pause your print and notify you to add a new spool
- Advanced active leveling that ensures easy and reliable first-layer adhesion. Begin a print job and get on with your work, thanks to precise build area probing and Z-height build plate compensation at the start of every print job
- High-accuracy stepper drivers taken directly from the UltiMaker S5. These high-precision drivers are quieter than the UltiMaker 3 and run more reliably to consistently provide high-quality prints

The UltiMaker S3 has been further optimized for its form factor. These small features work together to improve the 3D printing experience:
- Rigid printer frame reduces small vibrations (or ringing) while printing to improve overall print quality
- Single glass door with a magnetic latch provides a more controlled build environment and reduces the risk of warping or delamination
- Optimized internal design allowing both dual extrusion nozzles to reach the whole build area, and maintaining a high build-volume-to-size ratio
- Internal power supply removes the need to make space for a power brick. It also makes the setup process easy across all S-line 3D printers
