For an overview of the new features in Cura 4.13, please watch our video.
Sync material profiles
With Ultimaker Cura 4.13, we give you access to a seamless material experience for Ultimaker Material Alliance materials – with the ease of use you’ve come to expect from Ultimaker materials. You can easily synchronize your Material Alliance profiles with your S-line Ultimaker hardware, at the click of a button.
New print profile
A new print profile with 0.3mm layer height for PLA Tough PLA, PVA and BAM for Ultimaker S-line printers
3MF thumbnail
Show the model in the thumbnail of a .3mf file, contributed by fieldOfView
Infill density
When printing with a 100% infill the infill pattern will change to ZigZag for all Ultimaker print profiles
User login authentication
We’ve streamlined the user login authentication by removing any restrictions, especially for strict enterprise-level IT requirements.
