One of the best professional 3D printer brands just got better and bigger! Released today, the new Ultimaker S5 boasts a large build volume, intuitive touch screen, and reliable dual extrusion system. Already relied upon by tens of thousands of businesses, the launch continues Ultimaker’s dominance in the professional desktop 3D printing market.

Ultimaker S5 New Features

The Ultimaker S5 is a large leap from its predecessors with major changes across the board, delivering an easier and more reliable 3D printing experience. Here’s what’s new:

Build Volume: One of the most obvious changes is the spacious 330 x 240 x 300 mm build volume. In addition, the print area is now behind a set of tinted glass doors. These help to regulate temperatures during the printing process, minimizing warping and cracking.

UI/UX: The S5 features a new 4.7-inch (11.9 cm) full color touchscreen. An intuitive user interface enables users, both new and tenured, to easily control the machine, load filaments, run calibration sequences, and monitor prints, no experience required. In addition to the new touchscreen, Ultimaker added new automated leveling sequences to ensure perfect first layers and bed adhesion.

Connectivity: In an increasingly network connected world, the new S5 is no different. Onboard wifi and a built-in webcam seamlessly integrates with Ultimaker’s Cura Slicer, allowing users to easily send prints to the 3D printer from the comfort of their desk.

Materials: Included print cores enable the Ultimaker S5 to print an impressive range of materials out of the box. Going even further, the S5 now has an optional CC Red 0.6mm print core upgrade, enabling users to 3D print abrasive, high-strength materials, such as carbon fiber-filled and glass filled nylons.

Dynamism is proud to announce the addition of the all-new MakerBot Replicator 3D Printer to our lineup of cutting edge technology, becoming the first official reseller of MakerBot. The Replicator promises to bring 3D printing to the masses with a unit able to fit on office or home desk at an affordable price. Like many of Dynamism’s other products, 3D printing promises to be a transformative technology, enabling businesses and home users to create just about anything.

What is 3D Printing

Unlike CNC machines, where a material block is cut away to create an object, 3D printing starts from the bottom and builds an object one layer at a time. To do so, a strand of plastic is fed through a heated nozzle. The nozzle is guided through a set of coordinates, depositing the plastic one layer at a time until the final object is created.

The New MakerBot Replicator

Recipient of the Best Emerging Tech Award at the 2012 Consumer Electronics Show, the MakerBot Replicator was released January 2012. The printer features one of the biggest build volumes available at ~9”x6”x6”, roughly the size of a loaf of bread, a significant increase over the cupcake sized build volume of MakerBot’s previous model. The printer comes in two configurations, a single extruder or dual extruder, for two color prints, and can print in either biodegradable PLA plastic or ABS.

With the growth of this new promising technology, Dynamism looks to add new 3D printers in the coming year, such as Robox and CubeX
