【3D Printing News】Welcome to Cura Connect - The new 3D Printer Management Solution
Cura Connect is Ultimaker's latest innovation. It allows you to control, monitor and configure a group of Ultimaker 3 printers from a single interface, providing an efficient production solution for your office, studio, or workplace.
Simplify Your Workflow
Distribute workload. Print jobs are shared among the printer group for efficient, continuous production. If one printer is occupied, other scheduled jobs will be assigned to other available printers in the group.
Easily monitor print jobs. All printers in the group are managed using a single interface for maximum convenience.
Flexible scheduling. Once a print job is complete, you only need to remove the finished object, confirm its removal on the printer, and the next item will print automatically.
Prioritize jobs as needed. Queue your print jobs without needing to change materials, print nozzles, or other important considerations.
Prepare the settings you need. No need to prepare models for a specific printer - Cura Connect will assign jobs to a printer with suitable print nozzles, materials, color, volume, and other factors - if a suitable printer isn't found, you'll be prompted to set one up.
Agile and Efficient
Scale your operations. Group multiple printers into one production workflow, or create multiple groups for different teams or tasks. If you want to expand your operations later, it's easy to add additional printers to a group.
Maximize efficiency. Cura Connect monitors your printers and schedules maintenance tasks to keep your hardware in optimal condition.
Smart notifications. Browser notifications update you on your job status. Printer frame lights will notify you when and where the printer needs attention.
Future-ready. Thanks to the embedded system and Wi-Fi connectivity of the Ultimaker 3, new software updates will continuously enhance the printer's features and functionalities to provide the most user-friendly 3D printing experience.
Get Started Quickly
No servers, no extra software, no complex setup. Powered by your Ultimaker 3, Cura Connect runs in your web browser. As long as the printer's firmware is up to date, it's ready.
Discover Cura Connect. If you already own an Ultimaker 3, Cura Connect is ready for you. Utilize continuous production with a single machine, or combine multiple Ultimaker 3 printers to form a complete 3D printing production solution.
