Users of 3D printers share a common experience—before 3D printing , they typically spend time researching the parameters of relevant materials and adjusting values one by one. Engineers may want dimensional accuracy for testing parts; designers may need visual models that are both aesthetically pleasing and realistic; or, for the average user, they simply want to complete the 3D print as quickly as possible to rapidly validate their ideas. The new version , Ultimaker Cura 4.4, offers time-saving solutions for all of these needs!
The all-new "Intent" feature allows users to intuitively set optimal automatic parameter adjustments, specifically designed to streamline 3D printing processes with unique needs, saving time, increasing 3D printing success rates, and showcasing the best benefits of 3D printing in businesses. This Ultimaker Cura 4.4 beta version categorizes adjustments into three objectives and summarizes them based on the desired effect, making it simple and easy to understand:
1. Draft: A 3D printing value that can achieve the best results in the shortest amount of time.
2. Visual: Improves the aesthetics of the object, printing the model with excellent visual appearance and surface quality; however, this may sacrifice some time.
3. Engineering: Primarily focused on improving the dimensional accuracy of objects, enhancing the dimensional precision and tolerances of 3D printed objects.
What if an engineer wants the smallest possible printing tolerance? Simply adjust the single slider in "Engineering" to the desired value and press Slice to 3D print . What if a designer needs outstanding visual effects? Select the "Visuals" item, slice, and print—it's that simple! No idea what 3D printing is? No problem! Just select the field or adjust the slider according to your desired result. Forget the hassle of setting values one by one; 3D printing can be easy too. (The final Chinese name and location of this function will be provided in the official version.)
Currently, when used with PLA , Tough PLA , and ABS filaments, as well as support materials such as PVA and Breakaway , both the dual-head Ultimaker S5 and Ultimaker S3 offer "Target Setting," making parameter adjustments for dual-material printing easier.
