If it slices quickly you don't need to do anything - cura removes extraneous moves and you can adjust that in the settings but no need to. But if it is annoyingly slow to slice or load the model you can reduce the qty of polygons in the STL using this easy technique which I've done a few times and works great:
In the Cura 5.8 stable release, everyone can now tune their Z seams to look better than ever. Method series users get access to new material profiles, and the base Method model now has a printer profile, meaning the whole Method series is now supported in Cura!
We are happy to announce the next evolution in the UltiMaker 3D printer lineup: the UltiMaker Factor 4 industrial-grade 3D printer, designed to take manufacturing to new levels of efficiency and reliability. Factor 4 is an end-to-end 3D printing solution for light industrial applications
