Cura for your Ultimaker
The preferred software for your Ultimaker is Cura. This
software package prepares your 3D model into instructions
that your 3D printer requires to produce an object.
Cura is developed by Ultimaker to make 3D printing as easy
and streamlined as possible. It contains everything you need
to prepare a 3D file for printing. It is fully preconfigured to
work on every Ultimaker model. Cura comes with a friendly
setup program that helps you install the latest firmware as
well as to calibrate your printer.
While you make decisions on the look and quality of your 3D
object, Cura’s slicer engine prepares your model in the back-
ground faster than ever. From there It is just seconds away
from your printer and ready to become your physical object.
With the
Ultimaker 2
and Cura it’s only possible to copy your
print file to an
SD card
and print from it. The
USB port
on your
Ultimaker 2 can be used for firmware updates and in the near
future this gives a possibility for wireless printing. The
USB
cable
that came with your Ultimaker 2 should only be used for
firmware updates.
With the
Ultimaker Original
it is possible to print with
USB
cable
, but we do not advice you to do that. It is less reliable
and other processes on your computer influence the speed of
printing. When available printing with the Ulticontroller is re-
commended.
A1. Cura for you Ultimaker.
