Note: This feature requires you to be using firmware version 7.0.3 or above on your Ultimaker printer.
CURA VS ULTIMAKER CURA UPDATE
The previous Cura update contained various print profile tweaks and the firmware release included changes that reduced buffer underrun. This is because the foundation of these improvements was made in both Ultimaker Cura 5.0 and S-line firmware version 7.0.3. The biggest differences in surface quality will be seen when comparing against Ultimaker Cura 4.13. Right: Printed using Ultimaker Cura 5.1 and new firmware. Left: printed using Ultimaker Cura 4.13 and old firmware. The removal of these redundant commands resulted in reduced printer vibrations, as well as gcode files that are up to 20% smaller. This was achieved by implementing a new resolution algorithm, as well as the removal of unnecessary jerk and acceleration from travel commands within gcode. Models with smooth curves like spheres, cones, and cylinders, well as more complex models made up of many organic shapes, will display improved surface quality as they will print with up to twice as many individual segments. In our never-ending quest to help you get the best-looking prints possible, we have massively increased the segment resolution of your prints when using Ultimaker S-line printers with the latest firmware. Higher segment resolution results in a improved surface quality If you want to find out all of these new features, you can watch our Ultimaker Academy course on metal FFF printing. The new slicing engine reduces internal gaps in your part that can lead to line delamination and cracks during debinding and sintering, as well as allowing for the printing of thinner walls and finer details than was previously possible when printing with metal materials The direction of walls is alternated to prevent distortions during the debinding and sintering process Metal parts are automatically scaled to compensate for shrinkage that takes place during the debinding and sintering processĪlternate wall directions. However, the foundation for this workflow was started in Ultimaker Cura version 5.0 with the following changes to the Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH and Ultrafuse® 316L print profiles:Īutomatic scaling. These new metal FFF features mean that a simple and affordable new metal FFF workflow is now available which not only includes the printing of parts, but also the debinding and sintering process that is made possible through BASF’s network of debinding and sintering services. The print sits on a shrinkage plate and the Ultrafuse® Support Layer material is used to create a support interface layer between the print and the supports. The Ultimaker Metal Expansion Kit is sold without the BASF Forward AM Ultrafuse® Support Layer and Ultimaker Print Core DD 0.4 at a lower MSRP in other territories (including North America).Ī metal part printed with Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH. Currently the only metal print profiles compatible with these new features are the Ultrafuse® 17-4 PH, Ultrafuse® 316L, and Ultrafuse® Support Layer* materials by BASF Forward AM. These features are enabled by the newly announced Metal Expansion Kit which contains the new DD 0.4 print core and Ultrafuse® Support Layer materials. This layer makes it easier to remove supports after sintering When using the new Ultrafuse® Support Layer material and a compatible Ultrafuse® metal material, an interface layer will automatically be created between the model and the metal supports as well as between the model and the automatic shrinkage plate. The new DD 0.4 print core is now supported which has been especially designed for use with the new Ultrafuse® Support Layer materialĪutomatic support interface feature. A shrinkage plate will now automatically be created when using a compatible Ultrafuse® metal material profile that prevents your part from deforming during the debinding and sintering processĭD print core support*. The following new features have been added which are specific to metal FFF printing:Īutomatic shrinkage plate feature. Watch the video A new streamlined workflow for metal FFF printing
