PRINTING WITH THE CURA PROGRAM

Cura is a computer program designed by Ultimaker for printing objects using 3D
printers. Its clear, intuitive interface lets users quickly and easily make decisions
regarding the appearance and quality of the 3D object they wish to print. While users

be printed as quickly and easily as possible.
