One of the ways the firm has sought to work towards this goal, is via the introduction of its own software portfolio, including its Academy, Digital Factory and Cura offerings. Since being founded in 2011, Ultimaker has built up a range of open-material Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) 3D printers, designed to accelerate what it describes as a global shift towards “flexible, empowering and sustainable” production.

This is the start of a true revolution in 3D printing technology.” “Ultimaker Cura 5.0 represents the biggest leap forward in print quality that the software has ever seen. It’s time to turn the table… from designing for 3D printing, to 3D printing for design.” “Until now, you had to make your design work for 3D printing. “We believe that even those who have looked at 3D printing before and concluded that it may not be ready for their use, today it is time for them to look again,” said Miguel Calvo, CTO of Ultimaker.

#Ultimaker cura 3d printing software update
3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker has launched a beta version of its new open-source slicing software, Cura 5.0.Īccording to Ultimaker, the latest Cura features an enhanced engine that allows users to deploy a variable line width during slicing, and reach a “new threshold for finer and faster 3D prints.” The update also brings profile and user interface (UI) improvements among a slew of other upgrades, including greater M1 chip support, thus it should bring adopters of Apple’s newest machines a better user experience.
