【3D Printing News】Cura 4.4 Beta: Parameter Settings with One Click!
3D printer users share a common experience—before 3D printing, it usually takes some time to research material parameters and adjust values one by one. Engineers might prioritize dimensional accuracy for testing parts; designers might need visually appealing and realistic models, or general users might simply want to complete 3D printing in the shortest possible time to quickly validate ideas.All these scenarios have time-saving solutions in the new Ultimaker Cura 4.4!
The new "Intent" feature allows users to get the best automatic parameter adjustments with intuitive settings, specifically designed to simplify the 3D printing process for these special needs, saving time, increasing 3D printing success rates, and demonstrating the best benefits of 3D printing in enterprises.The Ultimaker Cura 4.4 Beta will categorize print jobs into three distinct purposes, with general adjustments explained in terms of their intended results, making them easy to understand:
1. Draft: Achieves relatively optimal 3D printing values in the shortest possible time.
2. Visual: Focuses on improving the aesthetic appeal of objects, printing models with outstanding visual appearance and surface quality; however, this might sacrifice some time.
3. Engineering: Prioritizes enhancing the dimensional accuracy of objects, strengthening the dimensional precision and tolerance of 3D printed objects.
What if an engineer wants the smallest print tolerance? Simply adjust the single slider under "Engineering" to the desired value, then hit slice to 3D print. What if a designer needs outstanding visual effects? Select "Visual," slice, and print—it's that simple! Unfamiliar with 3D printing? No problem! Just choose the field or adjust the slider according to your most desired result. Forget the hassle of setting values one by one; 3D printing can be easy. (The final Chinese name and operating location of this feature will be subject to the official release, which will be provided for your reference then.)
(Use "Engineering" settings to print models with better dimensional accuracy and tolerance.)
Currently, when used with filaments like PLA, Tough PLA, and ABS, as well as support materials PVA and Breakaway, the "Intent" feature can be used on both dual-extruder Ultimaker S5 and Ultimaker S3, simplifying dual-material printing parameter adjustments.
