Cura and 3D Printing with the Mendel 3D Printers
Cura is the program that takes a 3D model created in Tinkercad or any other CAD program and prepares it for printing. All files must be downloaded as .STL files from your CAD program (Tinkercad is what we use) and imported into Cura. In Cura you can see how long an object will take to print, make any changes, and save it to an SD card. Then you can put the SD card in a printer to print your file!
