![]() ![]() Small details of less than one line thick would not be printed at all. This means that if part of a print was two-and-a-half lines thick, two lines would be used, and a small gap would be left between them. Once chosen and sliced, the line width would be consistent throughout the part. Previously, the line width used when slicing a file was decided by the diameter of the nozzle and the line width settings used. The new slicing engine in Ultimaker Cura 5.0 allows for the use of variable line width when slicing a 3D model. Image: Ultimaker Cura 5.0 – Thinner walls and finer details ![]() It’s time to turn the table… from designing for 3D printing, to 3D printing for design.” Until now, you had to make your design work for 3D printing. “ We believe that even those who have looked at 3D printing before and concluded that it may not be ready for their use, today it is time for them to look again. Miguel Calvo, Chief Technology Officer (CTO) at Ultimaker. This is the start of a true revolution in 3D printing technology” says “ Ultimaker Cura 5.0 represents the biggest leap forward in print quality that the software has ever seen. Other improvements include faster print profiles for owners of Ultimaker printers, support for Apple M1 chips, and more. Parts printed with this engine will also be stronger. The newly developed variable line width capability of this slicing engine improves its ability to print thin walls and fine details. Ultimaker Cura 5.0 was announced at the 21 st April Ultimaker Showcase and it includes an enhanced slicing engine that sets a new threshold for finer and faster 3D prints. Unique applications in design, architecture, engineering and metal 3D printing have been enabled by the newest version of Ultimaker Cura. Ultimaker, a global leader in professional 3D printing, has launched the beta for Ultimaker Cura 5.0, the latest version of its free, open-source, slicing software. ![]()
