The UltiMaker S6 Secure and UltiMaker S8
Secure are robust solutions designed to deliver trusted and reliable, on-demand, production capabilities across land, sea and air operations. These combine industrial performance with hardened security features designed to meet modern defence IT standards. Designed for operations in extreme and
temperate conditions, Secure Line printers offer air-gapped, USB-only workflows, with no Wi-Fi, no external cameras, and no unverified third- party devices, eliminating common vectors for espionage, data theft, or remote intrusion. Key security features include:
• Factory-flashed, tamper-resistant firmware • Encrypted and auditable file handling • Hardware-sealed components for field integrity • No cloud dependencies or external attack surfaces. “The Secure Line represents a strategic leap in
making additive manufacturing a trusted and deployable asset for defence organisations,” said Andy Middleton, SVP EMEA and globalmarketing at UltiMaker. “By combining industrial-grade
3D printing with uncompromising security, the Secure Line enables the production of mission-critical components at the point of need, safely, reliably, and with full control over their data and infrastructure.” According to the company, the S6 Secure
and S8 Secure are engineered to bring industrial additive manufacturing capabilities from the lab to the field. With compact form factors and rugged construction, they enable:
• Reliable operation in mobile units, military bases, and naval deployments
• Rapid on-demand production of critical parts and tools
• Minimised downtime and reduced dependency on vulnerable supply chains.
The Xycomp DLF components, including complex
engine bracketry and aerodynamic fairings, are designed to be up to 60% lighter than traditional metal components, while maintaining the strength and durability required for demanding aerospace applications. The weight reduction directly contributes to improved fuel efficiency, lower emissions and enhanced engine performance, key enablers of more sustainable aviation. Key benefits of the Xycomp DLF Components:
• Weight reduction: Up to 60% lighter than metal alternatives, improving fuel efficiency.
• Enhanced durability: Designed to meet stringent aerospace performance requirements. • Sustainability: Contributes to reduced fuel consumption and a lower environmental footprint. “This customer collaboration highlights the value of Greene Tweed’s advanced material solutions in addressing the evolving challenges of aerospace engineering,” said Magen Buterbaugh, president and CEO of Greene Tweed. “By replacing heavier metal components with lightweight thermoplastics like Xycomp DLF, we are helping create more
efficient, sustainable, and high-performing jet engines
without sacrificing reliability.”
This enables real-time, secure bi-directional
data transfer between military domains, such as land, maritime and air, and security clearance between different classification levels across the chain of command. Developed in collaboration with Lockheed
28
Martin for the exchange of data in complex military network environments, its advanced operational security and cybersecurity capabilities help safeguard data against threats. The system also enables improved situational awareness and faster tactical decision-making across military domains.
