All these movements, together with some specific printer commands like the ones to control the extruder temperature or bed temperature, are ultimately compiled in the G-code file. This file can then be transferred to the printer for execution. Different densities of infill (in yellow), as generated by Cura slicer, from solid to hollow.
Cura is an open source slicing application for 3D printers. [2] 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. [ 3 ]
AirPrint is a feature in Apple Inc.'s macOS and iOS operating systems for printing without installing printer-specific drivers.. Connection is via a local area network (often via Wi-Fi), [1] [2] either directly to AirPrint-compatible printers, or to non-compatible shared printers by way of a computer running Microsoft Windows, Linux, [3] or macOS.
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.
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]
The Preview app on Mac no longer supports PostScript (.ps) and Encapsulated PostScript (.eps) files. Printing of such files, to a printer natively supporting PostScript, remains possible by accessing the Printer Queue from System Settings and dragging the file into the queue window. [9] [10] [11] Network Utility has been removed.
HP ePrint via Email is a feature that most HP printers and MFPs use. HP ePrint enables printing documents attached to email messages sent to the device. The HP ePrint-capable printer or MFP must be registered to an HP ePrint cloud service called HP ePrint Center, which assigns a unique email address to the printer or MFP.
The Prusa Mini, stylized as the Original Prusa MINI, is an open-source fused deposition modeling 3D printer that is manufactured by the Czech company Prusa Research. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The printer is the lowest cost machine produced by Prusa Research and is designed as a first printer or as part of a 'print farm'.
