Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit
An end-to-end metal 3D printing workflow
3D print your part
Step 1. Print with Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH stainless steel filament² to create a “green part”
Send to post-process
Step 2. Send your green part for post-processing by Forward AM’s network of certified debinding and sintering services
Track and receive
Step 3. Track debinding and sintering progress via an online portal, and receive your part back in 10 business days
Use your metal part
Step 4. Put your finished metal part to use – from small series of tools to auxiliary components
Freedom to design high-quality steel parts
17-4 PH stainless steel plus a metal-optimized support material³ offers the freedom to create strong parts with complex geometries.
Plus, Ultimaker Cura 5 includes metal FFF features to give you full control and ensure a high-quality metal part.
Metal parts. Up to 90% cheaper
The UltiMaker S5/S7's low total cost of ownership and small size makes it easy to adopt and scale an affordable metal 3D printing solution.
Compared 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
Being able to 3D print either plastic or metal on the UltiMaker S5/S7 opens up a wider range of potential applications.
And because you can quickly and easily switch between materials by changing out the print cores, your printer becomes even more versatile.

Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH
Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH is an ideal stainless steel for high-strength and stiff parts. It is also capable of withstanding the harshest operating conditions thanks to its excellent corrosion and heat resistance.
These properties are achieved through a proven catalytic debinding and sintering process used for traditional metal injection molding.
Software and E-learning
The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit unlocks extra features inside the Ultimaker Cura 5 engine. These make metal print preparation simpler – automatically and accurately compensating for shrinkage that happens during sintering across all axes.
New to metal 3D printing? The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit gives every user access to an exclusive, 1-hour e-learning course. Get step-by-step guidance through the full workflow.
¹The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit is designed for use with Ultimaker S5 printers
²Use of the Air Manager is strongly recommended when printing with Forward AM Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH material
³Currently only available in Europe. The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit is sold without the Forward AM Ultrafuse® Support Layer and Ultimaker Print Core DD 0.4 at a lower MSRP in other territories (including North America)
