Product Description

The UltiMaker Material Station is an automated, six-spool material handling system that integrates directly with UltiMaker S-series 3D printers. It holds up to six spools at once, automatically detects UltiMaker materials via NFC, and switches to a fresh spool the moment one runs out — so large jobs finish without failed prints from depleted filament.

Key Features

  • Six-spool capacity — keep multiple build materials and support materials (such as PVA) loaded and ready at the same time, including third-party filaments.
  • Automatic material switching — when a spool runs out, the station feeds from a fresh one automatically, eliminating print failures from empty filament and maximizing uptime on large-scale jobs.
  • NFC material recognition — automatically identifies UltiMaker materials, simplifying setup and reducing the risk of loading errors.
  • Feeds either extruder — supplies filament to the printer's 1st or 2nd extruder for reliable dual-material printing.
  • Seamless ecosystem integration — part of the UltiMaker workflow for a streamlined, hands-off material-handling experience.
