What is UltiMaker Cura?

UltiMaker Cura turns 3D model preparation into a slicing workflow: choose a printer and material profile, adjust print settings, and prepare the model for your printer. Recommended profiles offer a starting point, while Custom mode exposes more than 400 settings for detailed control. The UltiMaker Marketplace provides additional material profiles and plugins for extending print preparation.

This entry links to the publisher's Cura 5.13.0 DMG for Apple Silicon Macs. UltiMaker also provides separate Intel Mac downloads and PKG installers; the linked ARM64 disk image is not the Intel package. Check the publisher's system requirements for your macOS version before choosing a download.

The screenshot shows an older Cura interface on macOS, with a model on the build plate, custom print settings, and Activity Monitor overlapping part of the workspace. It illustrates the application rather than the exact appearance or performance of version 5.13.0.

What it offers

  • Slice 3D models using Cura's open-source slicing engine.
  • Start with recommended print profiles or use Custom mode for more than 400 settings.
  • Add material profiles and print-preparation plugins from the UltiMaker Marketplace.

Good to know

  • The linked ARM64 DMG is the Apple Silicon build; Intel Macs need the separate Intel package offered by UltiMaker.
