Install and run Cura from the Ultimaker website.  Choose any printer since it doesn't matter since you don't have one.  Import a model (usually an STL file).  Click "slice" in bottom right corner.  Then button turns to "save" so click that.

    I am making my own scans with a Horus scaner for a BIQU B1Printer. I need to run a Slice of a project.

    I have tried to Load my cans in a Cura 5.0 software for a slice and it will not load the project. 

    the scan is clean, there are a few unconnected bites . 

    Can you help?

    What kind of file type does the Horus scanner create?  Cura can only take a few file types.  The most common is STL.  Can you get the Horus to create an STL file?

     

    Also usually after scanning you have to do some repair.  You could try mesh mixer (free software) or mesh lab to try to repair any mesh errors.  You should be able to find youtube videos showing how you do this.

    Hi guys.  Scanners often create a "point cloud" rather than a mesh.  You may need an intermediate piece of software to turn the point cloud into a mesh.  That mesh could then be loaded into Cura.  We used Rhino back-in-the-day.  SolidWorks may be an option.  Was there any software bundled with the scanner?

    That's an unfortunate typo. George meant STL; the other is usually associated with databases.

    Fixed.  Thanks.  Dealing with SQL databases recently.

      • UltiMaker Cura 5.3 stable released
        In this stable release, Cura 5.3 achieves yet another huge leap forward in 3D printing thanks to material interlocking! As well as introducing an expanded recommended print settings menu and lots of print quality improvements. Not to mention, a whole bunch of new printer profiles for non-UltiMaker printers!
          • Thanks

      • Here it is. The new UltiMaker S7
        The UltiMaker S7 is built on the success of the UltiMaker S5 and its design decisions were heavily based on feedback from customers.
         
         
        So what’s new?
        The obvious change is the S7’s height. It now includes an integrated Air Manager. This filters the exhaust air of every print and also improves build temperature stability. To further enclose the build chamber the S7 only has one magnetically latched door.
         
        The build stack has also been completely redesigned. A PEI-coated flexible steel build plate makes a big difference to productivity. Not only do you not need tools to pop a printed part off. But we also don’t recommend using or adhesion structures for UltiMaker materials (except PC, because...it’s PC). Along with that, 4 pins and 25 magnets make it easy to replace the flex plate perfectly – even with one hand.
         
        The re-engineered print head has an inductive sensor which reduces noise when probing the build plate. This effectively makes it much harder to not achieve a perfect first layer, improving overall print success. We also reversed the front fan direction (fewer plastic hairs, less maintenance), made the print core door magnets stronger, and add a sensor that helps avoid flooding.
         

         
        The UltiMaker S7 also includes quality of life improvements:
        Reliable bed tilt compensation (no more thumbscrews) 2.4 and 5 GHz Wi-Fi A 1080p camera (mounted higher for a better view) Compatibility with 280+ Marketplace materials Compatibility with S5 project files (no reslicing needed) And a whole lot more  
        Curious to see the S7 in action?
        We’re hosting a free tech demo on February 7.
        It will be live and you can ask any questions to our CTO, Miguel Calvo.

      • UltiMaker Cura Alpha 🎄 Tree Support Spotlight 🎄
        Are you a fan of tree support, but dislike the removal process and the amount of filament it uses? Then we would like to invite you to try this special release of UltiMaker Cura. Brought to you by our special community contributor @thomasrahm
         
        We generated a special version of Cura 5.2 called 5.3.0 Alpha + Xmas. The only changes we introduced compared to UltiMaker Cura 5.2.1 are those which are needed for the new supports. So keep in mind, this is not a sneak peek for Cura 5.3 (there are some really cool new features coming up) but a spotlight release highlighting this new version of tree supports.
