4.2 Materials
Material compatibility
The UltiMaker S7 comes with two AA print cores and one BB print core. The AA print cores can be used for
printing build materials and Breakaway support material. The BB print core can be used for water-soluble
support material (PVA).
The UltiMaker S7 supports all UltiMaker materials that are currently available, of which most can be printed with
the 0.25, 0.4, and 0.8 mm print core sizes. The CC print cores are available in 0.4 and 0.6 mm and can be used for
third-party composite materials.
For an overview of possible dual-extrusion material combinations, please refer to the UltiMaker website .
All UltiMaker materials have been extensively tested and have optimized profiles in UltiMaker Cura to ensure
the best print results. Therefore, it is advised to use one of the default profiles in UltiMaker Cura for the highest
reliability. Using UltiMaker materials will also allow you to benefit from the NFC detection system. UltiMaker
spools will be automatically recognized by the spool holder or Material Station. This information can be directly
transferred to UltiMaker Cura when connected to a network, for a seamless connection between the printer and
UltiMaker Cura software.
To use third-party materials on the UltiMaker S7, it is recommended to install the material profiles on the printer.
This allows you to select the right material during loading. The temperature information in the material profiles is
important during loading and unloading materials, active leveling, depriming, and changing print cores. You can
add third-party material profiles to your printer via USB , or by synchronizing via UltiMaker Digital Factory .
Spools with the following dimensions are compatible with the Material Station:
• Width: 50 – 70 mm (2 – 2.7 in)
• Diameter: 197 – 203 mm (7.8 – 8 in)
• Core diameter: > 98 mm (3.8 in)
