[3D Printing News] Ultimaker Cura 3D Printing: Faster and More Efficient
At Ultimaker, we are constantly improving our software to create the best 3D printing experience.
The latest version of Ultimaker Cura adds new slicing functionality and new plugins. Did you know that it can also reduce printing time and material usage compared to previous versions?
Compared to previous versions, the latest version of Ultimaker Cura can increase the printing speed of soluble support material by 30% and reduce the support material used for the same 3D printed model by 30%.
Using the suggested (preset) mode in Ultimaker Cura 3.0, the PVA consumption for the same model was reduced from 182 g to 123 g, saving approximately 30% of the material.
If the cost of 1 gram of PVA material is $0.13, then approximately $7 is saved. 
The recommended (preset) mode includes all the necessary slicing settings used in preparing each model.
Suggested (Preset) Mode - Quick Setup in One Place
The recommended (preset) mode simplifies your 3D printing workflow by including the most commonly used settings for quick and easy 3D printing preparation.
If you are an experienced user, you can choose to take control in custom mode and change to more advanced slicing settings.
Gradual support - Same support, faster printing.
Gradually support printing with a lower support density at the bottom and place the support material close to the area where it is needed.
Gradual support will also automatically adjust the thickness of the support filling layer, doubling the thickness of the printing layer of the support and further shortening the printing time.
It will be gradually enabled in the recommended mode.
Material Configuration Files - Developed by Experts
Developed by our team of materials engineers, the material configuration profile contains preset configuration settings for each Ultimaker material to ensure high-quality, reliable results.
By using material configuration profiles, both novice and experienced users can achieve the same results.
Less supporting material, faster dissolution time
The efficient use of soluble support materials can significantly reduce dissolution time, allowing you to print photos faster than ever before.
Reduce printing time and lower material costs
All of these features can be found in the latest version of Ultimaker Cura. Download now and discover more benefits .
