UltiMaker Cura workflow
The UltiMaker Cura workflow is arranged in three stages, seen at the top of the interface. These are the prepare,
preview, and monitor stages.
Prepare stage
1. Load the 3D model(s) by clicking the ‘open file’ folder icon.
2. In the configuration panel, select your print cores and material(s).
3. Use the adjustment tools to position, scale, and rotate the model as desired.
4. Select your desired settings in the print settings panel.
5. Press the Slice button in the action panel.
6. When slicing is complete, the action panel will direct you to the preview stage.
Preview stage
The preview stage allows you to see exactly how your model will be printed. Use the different color schemes to get
various information about your model. You can view the different line types, differentiate infill from skin, or use the
X-Ray view to detect gaps within your model.
Previewing the model can be skipped, but is highly recommended to validate your print strategy and prevent
problems before starting the print.
When slicing is complete, you can start the print via the action panel. Send your print job via Cloud if the printer is
connected to the Digital Factory, via network if the printer is connected via LAN, or save the file to a USB drive for
printing with offline printers.
Monitor stage
The monitor stage utilizes the UltiMaker Digital Factory functionality to show the status of your networked
UltiMaker printer. This allows you to track the print progress directly from UltiMaker Cura. Alternatively, go to
UltiMaker Digital Factory for additional information and features.

4.4 Printing
When a print job is selected, either remotely or via USB, the UltiMaker S7 will automatically prepare for printing.
This can take several minutes and includes the following processes:
• Preheating. The print cores and build plate will heat up according to the material settings.
• Active leveling. The print cores will probe the build plate in several locations to create a detailed height map.
This information will be used to ensure optimal adhesion of the print.
In combination with a Material Station, all materials are in a pre-loaded state. When a print job is started, the
required materials are automatically forwarded to the print head. The UltiMaker S7 will prime the materials.
Keep the door closed during printing for safety and optimal air management. Never reach into the
UltiMaker S7 while the printer is in operation.
