On August 31, 2014, Cura was included in a review of 3D slicing software by Think3DPrint3D. [24] In the summer of 2015, Ultimaker released Cura 2.0. [25] [26] [27] On January 1, 2018, All3DP named Cura one of the best 3D slicer software tools. [8] In 2019, Cura was named one of the top free 3D printing tools by the industry blog, G2. [28]
The 3DBenchy is a 3D computer model specifically designed for testing the accuracy and capabilities of 3D printers. [1] The 3DBenchy is described by its creator, Creative Tools, as "the jolly 3D printing torture-test" and was released (initially only in STL format) in April 2015, with a multi-part, multi-colour model released in July 2015.
Different densities of infill (in yellow), as generated by Cura slicer, from solid to hollow. Additional features of slicer are listed below: Infill: Printing solid objects requires a significant amount of material (such as filament) and time. To mitigate this, slicers can automatically convert solid volumes to hollow ones, thereby saving costs ...
A YouMagine Survey found that 58% of users surveyed used Cura, compared to 23% that used Slic3r. [19] On September 26, 2017 the company announced that Cura had achieved one million users. This announcement was made at the TCT show. [20] [21] With the release of Cura 4.0, Ultimaker users were able to back up their files to the cloud. [22]
3D printing, or additive manufacturing, is the construction of a three-dimensional object from a CAD model or a digital 3D model. [1] [2] [3] It can be done in a variety of processes in which material is deposited, joined or solidified under computer control, [4] with the material being added together (such as plastics, liquids or powder grains being fused), typically layer by layer.
Test images as transmission system calibration material probably date back to the original Paris to Lyon fax link. Analogue Fax equipment (and photographic equipment for the printing trade) were the largest user groups of the standardized image for calibration technology until the coming of television and digital image transmission systems.
This is also the primary reason for the November 2008 decision to discontinue the print version. [20] It has adapted to the new realities of the 21st century by reducing its once-standard emphasis on massive comparative reviews of computer systems, hardware peripherals, and software packages to focus more on the broader consumer-electronics market.
A design review is a milestone within a product development process whereby a design is evaluated against its requirements in order to verify the outcomes of previous activities and identify issues before committing to—and, if need be, to re-prioritise—further work. [1]
