What problems does the metal expansion kit solve?

Although metal printing on an FFF printer like the Ultimaker S5 was already possible, the process was still labour intensive and time-consuming and required a lot of knowledge. With the Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit it delivers a complete solution that enables the user to go from CAD to metal part with minimum hassle.

What are the key applications of the Metal Kit?

The Metal Expansion Kit is ideal for creating low volumes (series of 1-20 pieces) of non-standard small parts. This includes applications such as functional prototypes, tools, jigs & fixtures, replacement parts for production lines, and auxiliary components.

Shipping to Ireland (Northern or Republic of) is a “DAP” service which means you have to pay any Duty and Taxes. Business customers must email us their EORI and UKIMS numbers.

PALLETS DON'T SHIP VIA DPD - WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW

Some units can only be shipped safely on a pallet due to weight and/or size. Cut off time for orders shipping by pallet is 1.30pm, that’s because we need to book the job before 2pm.

Pallets are big and they ship on big lorries! If there is any problem with a dustbin-lorry size vehicle accessing your property, you need to let us know and we can request delivery by a smaller 7.5T lorry. If this is the case, then PALLET NEXT DAY may not be available.

Depending on your postcode your options at checkout will include PALLET NEXT DAY, PALLET 2-3 DAYS, PALLET COLLECTION HG4 2RN (organise your own pick-up). Some postcodes will show “PALLET 5-6 DAYS” etc.
Pallet deliveries are between 09.00 and 17.00 and we are unable to give you the ETA in advance.

We use a very reliable local supplier, and the pallets go in to the “Palletforce” network. Currently the network don’t use tracking numbers and you can't track online (coming in 2026). Call or email us to check on a delivery or collection.
