- Cura is an open source slicing application for 3D printers. It was created by David Braam who was later employed by Ultimaker, a 3D printer manufacturing company, to maintain the software.Cura is available under LGPLv3 license. Cura was initially released under the open source Affero General Public License version 3, but on 28 September 2017 the license was changed to LGPLv3.
- Download Cura software and select Cura 3.2 (64 bit) After installing Cura, select Custom machine and enter the sizes of your Builder. Download the INI-files for your Builder 3D printer. Load the INI-files in Cura by using the option “open profile”. Enter the number of extruders in the “Machine settings” menu.
The beta is gone, and the stable release is in!
Use the following instructions to install and set up Cura for Mac for your Robo C2 and Robo R2. Step 1 Download and install Download and install Cura for mac. Download Now Step 2 Add printer After the initial setup, open Cura and you will see an 'Add a printer'.

Highlights
Startup time greatly reduced.

This makes my Cura startup speed hack obsolete. And I’m grateful for that.
Better graphics performance on your old and slow computer
Adaptive layer height
Experimental section. This one is amazing. Following the suit of many slicers starting with the powerful but buggy KISS slicer many years ago, and continuting with Slic3r Prusa Edition and the experimental IceSL slicer, Cura has its own Variable Layer Height Slicing, and it is amazing. Unlike other slicers that offer varying the layer height manually, Cura let’s you set some boundaries, and then figures out all alone what parts of your model need lower layer height for maximum smoothness. Way to go.

Tree Supports
Experimental section. A new way to handle overhangs similar to what Meshmixer or Autodesk Print Studio have pioneered. It uses ‘branches’ that ‘grow’ and multiply towards areas that need support, with fewer points of contact on the model, giving better surface finishes. This makes it ideal for organically-formed prints. It is possible to use tree support in tandem with other support methods.

Change Log
Tree support
Experimental tree-like support structure that uses ‘branches’ to support prints. Branches ‘grow’ and multiply towards the model, with fewer contact points than alternative support methods. This results in better surface finishes for organic-shaped prints.

Adaptive layers
Prints with a variable layer thickness which adapts to the angle of the model’s surfaces. The result is high-quality surface finishes with a marginally increased print time. This setting can be found under the experimental category.

Faster startup
Printer definitions are now loaded when adding a printer, instead of loading all available printers on startup.

Better Graphics Performance
Backface culling in layer view. Doubled frame rate by only rendering visible surfaces of the model in the layer view, instead of rendering the entire model. Good for lower spec GPUs as it is less resource-intensive.

Multi build plate
Experimental feature that creates separate build plates with shared settings in a single session, eliminating the need to clear the build plate multiple times. Multiple build plates can be sliced and sent to a printer or printer group in Cura Connect. This feature must be enabled manually in the preferences ‘general’ tab.

Improved mesh type selection
New button in the left toolbar to edit per model settings, giving the user more control over where to place support. Objects can be used as meshes, with a drop down list where ‘Print as support’, ‘Don’t overlap support with other models’, ‘Modify settings for overlap with other models’, or ‘Modify settings for infill of other models’ can be specified.

Updated sidebar to QtQuick 2.0
Application framework updated to increase speed, achieve a better width and style fit, and gives users dropdown menus that are styled to fit the enabled Ultimaker Cura theme, instead of the operating system’s theme.

Disable ‘Send slice information’
A shortcut to disable ‘Send slice information’ has been added to the first launch to make it easier for privacy-conscious users to keep slice information private.
