Download Cura 4.12

Cura was developed by Ultimaker to make 3d printing as easy and streamlined as possible. Cura contains everything you need to be able to print a 3d file. It works with all Ultimaker printers, as well as those from RepRap and Printrbot. Cura is easy to install and contains the latest firmware as well as the calibration files for the 3d printer. Version 4.12 of Cura has been released and the following changes and improvements have been made to it:

Lightning infill

The new lightning infill setting lets you to print high-quality top layers but is optimized to use less material and increase your production speed.

Improved top surface quality

We’ve tweaked the Monotonic setting and made adjustments throughout Ultimaker print profiles. This removes occasional scarring on models and improves top surface quality by default.

Improved horizontal print quality

Resulting in reduction of ringing, improving resolution and overall print quality.

App switcher

The new switcher provides a simpler way to navigate and use other Ultimaker applications, including Ultimaker Digital Factory, Ultimaker Marketplace, and Ultimaker 3D Printing Academy. Reporting bugs to Github is now just one click away, and it’s easier to find the application you need.

Faster start up

We’ve shaved 10 seconds from Ultimaker Cura’s start-up time by optimizing profile data caching.

Other new features:

• Moved the skip button to the left bottom on the sign in onboarding page and replaced with the sign in button and Create new account
• Add {material_type} and {material_name} as replacement patterns
