About
The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit introduces a revolutionary dimension to metal 3D printing. With the integration of Magigoo Pro Metal on the Ultimaker S5, a broader horizon of potential applications becomes accessible. This groundbreaking adhesive facilitates adhesion, opening avenues for diverse creations.
As a bonus, the kit includes a complimentary Ultimaker Print Core CC 0.4, exemplifying the commitment to a seamless experience. By embracing a metal-optimized support material, users gain the flexibility to craft robust parts with intricate geometries, further enhancing the creative journey.
Streamlining the process, the expansion kit empowers users to send their green parts for sintering more conveniently, efficiently, and affordably. The printer's versatility escalates, accommodating an extended array of applications, while minimizing the shrinkage that typically occurs during sintering.
Checking in on the Ultimaker S5 unveils a wider range of possibilities, each enabled by the expansion kit. Comprehensive in scope, the kit encompasses not only packaging for green parts but also a voucher. This voucher paves the way for post-processing, transforming 3D prints into fully-fledged metal parts within a mere 10 business days.
The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit is a pioneering force that transcends limitations, ushering in an era of innovation and precision in metal 3D printing.
Process Overview
How to Print
To 3D print metal on the Ultimaker S5, simply swap out the print cores, load the NFC-equipped metal filament, and start your print. No other modifications are needed.
Step 1: 3D print your part
Print with BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH stainless steel filament² to create a “green part”
Step 2: Send to post-process
Send your green part for post-processing by BASF’s network of certified debinding and sintering services.
Step 3: Track and receive
Track debinding and sintering progress via an online portal, and receive your part back in 10 business days.
Step 4: Use your metal part
Put your finished metal part to use – from small series of tools to auxiliary components.
