You can setup a generic printer in Cura. When selecting a printer there isn't much that is specific to the printer that would cause issues. What is important is defining your bed size and maximum Z height, and where "Home" is located. There might be something else but it's probably a minor settings.
You'll probably want to copy some pre-print and post processing scripts from other printers if there isn't any provided. These would print a priming line down the left side of the bed before printing. And the post-processing move the print head away from the item when completed. I would guess that these are added to a generic printer by Cura.
Also, look at the last section in the setup panel for Printer Settings, under "Experimental". You'll see additional printer settings that you'll need to review.

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!
