Ultimaker Cura Enterprise Review

Ultimaker Cura Enterprise is an open-source software for automating 3D printing workflows. It can control multiple 3D printers and print jobs using the Cura Connect interface. By utilizing standard profiles and CAD software integration, professionals can also perform real-time print job preparation.
In addition to common formats such as GIF, JPG, BMP, and PNG, the software also supports STL, OBJ, X3D, and 3MF. The software’s key feature is its open-source slicing engine. The application includes preconfigured profiles for FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) 3D printers, eliminating the need for manual parameter entry. However, settings can still be customized. Users can choose from 400 settings for granular control. It provides access to the Ultimaker Marketplace, where verified plugins for 3D printing can be downloaded.
