We’ve shaved 10 seconds from Ultimaker Cura’s start-up time by optimizing profile data caching A new app navigation module in Ultimaker Cura provides a simpler way to navigate and use other Ultimaker applications, including (but not limited to) Ultimaker Digital Factory, Ultimaker Marketplace, Ultimaker 3D Printing Academy, and Ultimaker supportįaster start-up. The following improvements have also been implemented in Ultimaker Cura 4.12 beta:Īpp switcher.
Note: Special thanks to GitHub users rburema and BagelOrb ! You can find out more about lightning infill here. It’s an ideal setting for visual models, as reduced material usage will result in a reduction in part strength. Through more efficient infill positioning, a new lightning infill setting enables you to print high-quality top layers while using less material and increasing your production speed. These add up to a reduction of ringing, improving resolution and overall print quality. They processed several improvements through optimizations in print profiles and implemented a bug fix.
Our materials and software engineers have also looked at horizontal print quality.

This removes occasional scarring on models and improves top surface quality by default – getting you even closer to your intended result. Improved top surface qualityįor Ultimaker Cura 4.12, we’ve made adjustments throughout print profiles and tweaked how we use the new Monotonic ordering setting.
Plus, security improvements and smaller-scale features add a cherry atop the 3D printed pie. We’re very excited about this beta release of Ultimaker Cura, as it’s the result of hours of print process testing and optimizations by our talented and passionate materials and software engineers.Īdditionally, several new features – such as a special new infill type – further enhance the Ultimaker Cura experience. And it’s packed with quality improvements for print profiles that increase first-time-right results and provide a polished experience – especially if you are using the Ultimaker platform.
