Take advantage of a new range of metal 3D printing applications by upgrading the Ultimaker S5 with the Metal Expansion Kit. Its seamless workflow makes creating stainless steel parts easier, more efficient, and affordable.

How it works

1. Print with BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH stainless steel filament to create a “green part”

2. Send your green part for post-processing by BASF’s network of certified debinding and sintering services

3. Track debinding and sintering progress via an online portal, and receive your part back in 10 business days

4. Put your finished metal part to use – from small series of tools to auxiliary components

Why choose the Metal Expansion Kit?

An end-to-end metal 3D printing workflow - The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit provides access to software optimizations, post-processing services, and extensive e-learning modules.

Design and print high-quality steel parts - 17-4 PH stainless steel plus a metal-optimized support material2 offers the freedom to create strong parts with complex geometries.

Metal parts. Up to 90% cheaper - Comparing the Ultimaker S5 and Metal Expansion Kit to CNC and other additive methods, you can save up to 90% creating the metal tools and parts you need.

Plastic or metal? You decide - 3D print either plastic or metal depending on your needs. Simply swap materials and change out the print cores, for more versatility and potential applications.
