Cura wordt ontwikkeld door UltiMaker om 3d-printen zo gemakkelijk en gestroomlijnd mogelijk te maken. Cura bevat alles wat je nodig hebt om een 3d-bestand te kunnen printen. Het werkt met alle UltiMaker-printers, maar ook met die van RepRap en Printrbot. Cura laat zich gemakkelijk installeren en bevat zowel de laatste firmware als de kalibratiebestanden voor de 3d-printer. Versie 5.8.0 van Cura is uitgekomen en hierin zijn de volgende veranderingen en verbeteringen aangebracht:
New Z Seam SettingsNew settings have been added that let you tweak how and where the Z seam is placed
- "Z Seam On Vertex" allows you to choose if the Z seam is placed on the vertices closest to a selected Z seam position or if it instead follows the selected position exactly
- "Seam overhang angle" enables you to select the angle at which Z seams will not be printed on overhangs, resolves #9369
- "Support Z Seam Away from Model" and "Min Z Seam Distance from Model" define where the Z seam is placed on supports
