A new fast industrial 3D printer from UltiMaker
The UltiMaker S8 is the new big brother of the UltiMaker S7. A powerful 3D printer that can print with a large range of industrial-grade materials. The printer has various upgrades from the S7. The new Cheetah board enables the printer to be up to 4 times faster, which is a huge feat.
Not just a new printer
The printer also comes with various other product launches. To facilitate the new high speed, two new printcores were launched. The AA+ and CC+ high speed printcores. They also launched a new material, Nylon CF slide. This carbonfibre reinforced material is extremely strong, but also wear resistant. Ideal for parts that endure lot’s of wear like gears or sliders.
But also Digital Factory has a huge update, making the UltiMaker ecosystem even more interesting for professional use. Users are now able to store files in the cloud, and directly slice them online. So you can manage a large printfleet of printers, files and start prints all in your browser.
A keynote video to present all new products
UltiMaker asked STMEDIA to produce a keynote video to present the new products.
Here we chose to have their CEO present the whole video and glue all segments together. Instead of having trained presenters, we chose to have the people who worked on this projects to present their work. While they did a great job, it’s really powerful to see how genuinely proud they were about the products they talked about. This gives the video a very authentic feel.
The whole video was shot in only three days, while we had two film locations all lit up and prepared. This sped up production drastically.
In the end, this was a project about a very interesting topic, where we delivered quality in a very efficiënt manner.
