【3D Printing News】Cura 4.4 Officially Released! Savior for the lazy - no need to set parameters!
Ultimaker Cura 4.4 is officially released! The "Intent Profiles" slider, previously mentioned in the beta version, is now officially available! The tutorial video is super simple, instantly taking you for a sneak peek:
3D printed mechanical parts require good dimensional accuracy and higher tolerances, while visual prototypes need clear details and smooth surfaces. Different combinations of values can produce different printing results. To achieve this, Ultimaker has developed new methods to quickly and easily achieve these goals. The official release of Cura 4.4 includes some fine-tuning based on user feedback, with three main categories emphasizing different professional applications:
1. Visual: For high-quality visual models with excellent shapes and surfaces, suitable for design, proposals, and other appearance-focused applications.
2. Engineering: Enhances the high-precision requirements and tighter tolerances for 3D printing.
3. Draft: Achieves preliminary prototypes or validates concept feasibility by shortening 3D printing time.
When adjusting the "Intent Profiles" slider, other parameter values will automatically change, eliminating the need for users to spend time manually modifying numerical settings. This also makes it incredibly easy for everyone in the office to use a 3D printer, even without an engineering background, to produce high-precision dimensioned prints.
With less time spent on setting parameters, the time saved is even more significant when printing with dual nozzles using PLA, Tough PLA, and ABS, along with support materials (such as PVA and Breakaway). All of these are perfectly compatible with the Ultimaker S5 Pro Bundle, Ultimaker S5, and Ultimaker S3.
What else is new in the latest version? In addition to the "Intent Profiles" feature, the new Cura 4.4 also includes UX improvements and bug fixes for a better user experience:
．Individual Model Settings: Applying slicing settings to specific parts of a model becomes easier with the dedicated icon in the toolbar in this version.
．Improved Performance: Pop-up windows are now smoother, making the interface more flexible and operations faster.
．Pause and Resume Print: This feature instructs the user to perform other operations during a pause, such as inserting a bearing into a slot and then resuming 3D printing.
．Restore Window Options: At startup, the previous window position and size will return to their last-used state.
This new feature is now available for immediate use, completely free! Did you enjoy this sharing? Feel free to give us a like on our Facebook page to encourage us and get first-hand tech news. If you have any related needs, please call us or refer to our high-quality 3D printing service!
