Unlock faster, smoother, high-speed 3D printing - without compromising quality.
Motion planning plays a critical role in 3D printing performance, yet it’s often overlooked. It determines how the print head moves, especially through corners, and how vibration and acceleration are managed. That’s where Cheetah, UltiMaker’s next-gen motion planner, redefines what’s possible.
Why Cheetah is a game changer:
Motion planning plays a critical role in 3D printing performance, yet it’s often overlooked. It determines how the print head moves, especially through corners, and how vibration and acceleration are managed. That’s where Cheetah, UltiMaker’s next-gen motion planner, redefines what’s possible.
Why Cheetah is a game changer:
- Currently the fastest motion planner for FDM printers
- Uses real jerk parameters for smooth, controlled movement
- Eliminates speed jumps, minimizing vibration and visual artifacts
- Works in harmony with input shaping and pressure advance for unmatched print consistency
Available exclusively on UltiMaker S6 and S8 systems, Cheetah delivers precision, speed, and reliability, no manual tuning required. Download the full guide to explore the engineering behind UltiMaker’s most advanced motion planner yet.
