The Ultimaker S5

The S5 boasts a number of features and add-ons. The S5 has a material station built in for easier management of filament for larger prints. The print core features dual extrusion nozzles, one for the print material and one for the support material (if needed), allowing it to cut down on print times and logistics

Pro additions to the Ultimaker S5

Air management system to maintain proper temperature within the build chamber
Material station to more efficiently swap between materials for dual extrusion printing

Allows for multi-material printing such as PLA or Tough PLA and PVA or Breakaway. Full list of materials and colour options available here
