"Currently, the Marketplace on Cura has been downloaded over a million times in less than a year, confirming that 3D printing users worldwide tend to combine software and hardware in their workflows, which is a significant recognition of Ultimaker 's development," said Paul Heiden, Senior Vice President of Ultimaker . He added that Ultimaker is not only a leading 3D printer manufacturer but also represents the world's first to connect software and hardware, providing a complete integrated system for digital manufacturing.
Through the "Marketplace" parameter database and plugins, users can discover that with the ever-increasing demand for 3D printing , more composite materials are constantly being put on the market, such as: glass fiber, carbon fiber composite wire, as well as ESD flame retardant, chemical resistant, UV resistant, wear resistant, high hardness, elastic materials , etc., all of which offer more choices than ever before.
The Ultimaker 3D printer is compatible with other open-source filaments. To provide correct parameter settings and ensure success rates, they enhance related services for global users through the "Materials Alliance" program. Leading global material suppliers such as Owens Corning, DSM, BASF, DuPont, and Clariant provide optimal official parameters for use with the Ultimaker 3D printer ; in less than a year, they have gathered parameter data from over 30 manufacturers worldwide, providing information on more than 80 different materials.
Various software plugins can be customized to meet individual needs. For example, some plugins can connect to CAD and Ultimaker Cura , making it easier for engineers and designers to directly print and slice 3D drawings, simplifying the process. Ultimaker also thoughtfully recognizes that downloading and installing are common obstacles for beginners, so the new version of Cura has integrated these functions, which can be found in the upper right corner of the interface after opening Cura .
Ultimaker believes that successful projects depend on user contributions, and assisting users in realizing their ideas is the ultimate goal. Specialized cables can inject more possibilities into high-performance 3D printing parts, and enterprise users of Ultimaker Cura can also develop their own add-ons to better suit their needs and share them open source. Best of all, it's all completely free! Simply create a free Ultimaker Cloud account to enjoy all these features.
It's great to see that the "Marketplace" feature, launched less than a year ago, has already achieved over a million downloads. Using it is not only incredibly easy, but it also allows you to find the latest information on cables! Haven't tried it yet? Try it now!
