3 steps to printing a 3D model
Every model you design for print must be translated by Ultimaker Cura into instructions your 3D printer will understand. It does this by slicing your model into thin layers and saving the file ready for printing. Here’s the process in a bit more detail.
The first thing you’ll need is a 3D model. Ultimaker Cura works with STL, OBJ, X3D or 3MF file formats out-of-the-box.
Within moments, Ultimaker Cura slices your model ready for print. You can preview it, scale it and adjust settings as you’d like.
Send print jobs remotely using a network-enabled Ultimaker 3D printer, or save files to a USB stick or SD card.
A more efficient way to 3D print
Cura Connect lets you manage your entire 3D printing workflow with ease. Start print jobs on multiple network-enabled Ultimaker 3D printers, monitor progress, and keep track of maintenance operations, all from a single interface.
- Maximize uptime. Print jobs start automatically, monitor print progress, and your 3D printer’s maintenance schedule
- Streamline your workflow. Create groups of 3D printers, queue print jobs, and pick them up when they’re ready
- Scale up your operations. Cura Connect works for one or several 3D printers, so it’s flexible to your changing needs
- Set up with ease. No server or user licenses needed – get started with a network-enabled Ultimaker printer and free Ultimaker Cura software
