Ultimaker has rebuilt Cura, our industry leading software, from the ground up to create an even more seamless integration between hardware, software and materials. -It now features new pre-settings for materials and default profiles, a very handy undo button, support structure optimization plus many other new abilities.
New features include :
– A new plug-in based system in the Uranium framework

– Advanced Mode–fully configurable with new settings, including the option to create your own view settings
– Support for high-DPI screens
– Optimized support structure in CuraEngine–improves support generation algorithms and provides more options for support structure creation, improving both positioning and degradability
– Undo/Redo–an operation isn’t always right the first time, and based on community response, most operations can now be undone or redone (e.g., moving or rotating objects)
