Course Description
Cura 3D is the friendly face of slicing software, so much so that many users don’t even realize what it’s doing. Just load the model, select the quality, and hit print. It’s as easy as traditional 2D printing.
Essentially that’s all Cura is — print software — a way to get a digital file from your computer to the 3D printer in a format that the 3D printing hardware understands.
The program is not only free for you to download, it is also open source. It is the gold standard of 3D slicers worldwide. If you compare Cura to other 3D slicing software, it all seems very simple, with limited options and adjustments. But Cura’s more complex settings are there if you need them; it’s just been designed very neatly and user-friendly.
Cura is maintained by 3D printer manufacturer Ultimaker and – as we know from their hardware – they’re perfectionists. Hidden (but not too deeply) in the software are almost all those settings and options that you can find in the majority of other slicing software. So if you are one of those people who like to tinker with the 3D printer settings, you can.
For those that just want to print, change a few quality and speed options, then in Cura it’s all carefully laid out and ready to go.
This Cura software tutorial is aimed at anyone just starting out with 3D printing. We’re only going to assume that you’ve switched on the printer and loaded the filament. From that point on we’re here to help guide you in the ways of Cura 3D and getting started with 3D printing.

I must say that I am new to any of this so this is my first class of any kind in 30 years and being new not knowing what to expect i rapidly was overwhelmed. Initially I was upset but after I put some actual time into the lectures. It is a process with time and life but I understand now after going thru some lof the lectures at a different pace. I am finding out the I understand a little more after going back thru some key areas. Ill keep in touch if I run into any problems. thank you Felix C
