With this integration, UltiMaker Cura users gain smoother navigation and better control over model setup during slicing.

3Dconnexion has added device support to UltiMaker Cura, providing 3D printing professionals with improved 3D navigation for more precise and efficient model slicing and preparation.
3Dconnexion’s input devices, including the SpaceMouse, offer precise control for working with 3D models. With this integration, UltiMaker Cura users can navigate the slicing process more easily, improving model positioning, orientation, and preparation.
3Dconnexion has been a consistent provider of input devices for professionals in engineering, architecture, and design. Its tools are built to support accurate and efficient work and integrate with a range of design software.
Enhanced 3D printing workflows
UltiMaker Cura is a commonly used 3D printing software that helps users prepare models for printing. With the addition of 3Dconnexion device support, users can apply the same level of control and precision in slicing and preparation as they do during design.
Key benefits of this integration include:
- Precision navigation:Â Effortlessly pan, zoom, and rotate models, enabling smooth interactions, faster iterations, and quick error detection, eliminating the need for unnecessary keyboard shortcuts or repeated mouse clicks.
- Efficiency & workflow speed:Â Navigate with the SpaceMouse while keeping your dominant hand free for critical adjustments. This streamlines model inspection, support generation, and orientation fine-tuning, optimizing print quality and minimizing material waste.
- Ergonomic & customizable:Â Reduce wrist strain with a balanced two-handed workflow and enhance efficiency with programmable buttons for quick access to key Cura functions, such as view switching, slicing, and layer previewing, for a tailored workflow.
- Seamless integration across 3D software:Â Enjoy a consistent and intuitive experience across leading design applications, from Fusion and SolidWorks to Blender and UltiMaker Cura.
This integration is available immediately, and users can start enhancing their 3D printing workflows by updating their UltiMaker Cura software and connecting their 3Dconnexion devices.
