Launch Of The Secure Line
UltiMaker, a global leader in 3D printing for defence, manufacturing, and education, today announces the launch of its new Secure Line of 3D printing products built for defense and high-security environments. Leading at launch are the UltiMaker S6 Secure and UltiMaker S8 Secure, two robust solutions designed to deliver trusted and reliable, on-demand production capabilities across land, sea, and air operations.
Meeting Modern Defence Demands
With rising demand for secure, resilient, and decentralized manufacturing, the Secure Line marks a major step forward in turning additive manufacturing into a deployable tactical asset. Built on UltiMaker’s proven platform, the S6 Secure and S8 Secure combine industrial performance with hardened security features designed to meet modern defence IT standards.
Security-Centric Features
Designed for operations in extreme and temperate conditions, Secure Line printers offer air-gapped, USB-only workflows, with no Wi-Fi, no external cameras, and no unverified third-party devices, eliminating common vectors for espionage, data theft, or remote intrusion.
Key Security Features Include:
- Factory-flashed, tamper-resistant firmware
- Encrypted and auditable file handling
- Hardware-sealed components for field integrity
- No cloud dependencies or external attack surfaces
Operational Benefits
The S6 Secure and S8 Secure are engineered to bring industrial additive manufacturing capabilities from the lab to the field. With compact form factors and rugged construction, they enable:
- Reliable operation in mobile units, military bases, and naval deployments
- Rapid on-demand production of critical parts and tools
- Minimised downtime and reduced dependency on vulnerable supply chains
Performance And Material Flexibility
Powered by the UltiMaker Cheetah motion planner, high-flow print cores, and an improved feeder system, S6 Secure and S8 Secure deliver up to 4x the productivity with improved print quality. Combined with the widest range of engineering-grade materials in the UltiMaker Marketplace and multi-material printing capabilities, the Secure Line offers material flexibility in a secure environment for complex applications.
Trusted By Defence Organisations
The Secure Line is manufactured in UltiMaker’s facility in Zaltbommel, Netherlands, adhering to strict European standards for quality, data security, and compliance. For years, UltiMaker’s 3D printing ecosystem has been used and trusted by NATO-aligned organisations to power parts production.
Each Secure Line product is produced in limited batches and tailored to defence industry requirements. Broad availability of the Secure Line for qualified defence and aerospace organisations is expected to begin immediately.
UltiMaker offers a two-year UltiMakerCare service with every Secure Line printer, delivering peace of mind and rapid support to defence users wherever they are deployed.
