CUR3D 3.0 is more than just a tool to make everything 3D printable in seconds. It sees itself as a link between the maker and the 3D printing service providers.

Because CUR3D 3.0 no longer requires that a maker has a 3D printer at home. Through the integration of selected 3D printing service providers who are convinced of CUR3D and who use it themselves, 3D printable models can be sent directly to a service provider in a few moments so that they can 3D print them.

Well-known 3D printing service providers from all over the world are and will be available in CUR3D 3.0 to assist you with your 3D printing.

For all those who have a 3D print themselves, CUR3D 3.0 has an integrated 3D printing shop.

From this point onwards, CUR3D 3.0 includes the new Media Library (replaces the file browser) and 3D printer profiles provided by the manufacturer.

BUT ...
Did we notice a small bug shortly after the release that Microsoft Defender (or Windows Security) reports. We are extremely sorry! We are dealing with the problem while these lines are being written.

It won't be long until we release CUR3D 3.0. The Steam Edition will appear a little later; But if you want to get a taste of the new version, you now have the chance to test both the Maker and the Professional Edition for 14 days free of charge.

You can find out everything else here: https://www.ruhrsource.com/cur3d-2-0-the-first-real-3d-printing-prepress/cur3d-3-0-open-beta/?lang=en

The Steam Edition is primarily intended for makers and most of you won't need more file formats than the already integrated ones (STL, OBJ and 3MF). You can probably deal with converters and create the desired file format.

...can expand its CUR3D Steam Edition from April 1st with the following file formats:

• 3DStudio Max (*.3ds, *.ase)
  
• AC3D (*.ac)
  
• Additive Manufacturing File (*.amf)
  
• Autodesk (*.fbx)
  
• Blender (*.blend)
  
• Cinema4D (*.c4d)
  
• Collada (*.dae)
  
• Extensible 3D (*.x3d)
  
• GL Transmission Format (*.gltf, *,glb)
  
• Industry Foundation Classes (*.ifc)
  
• Milkshape 3D (*.ms3d)
  
• Modo (*.lxo)
  
• Stanford Polygon Library (*.ply)
  
• Virtual Reality Modeling Language (*.wrl)
  
• XGL (*.xgl, *.zgl)

• DirectX (*.x)
  
• LightWave (*.lwo, *.lws)

1. Crash when determining the WAN IP
   
2. Crash due to a culture error when closing the send crash log dialog
   
3. At a later point in time, after CUR3D has been successfully started several times, it reports that the license server cannot be reached or the license data is invalid
   
4. At the first start, CUR3D reports that the license server cannot be reached or that the license data is invalid

If these problems persist, please open a corresponding thread in the community or simply send us an email to steam@ruhrsource.com.

the CUR3D Steam Edition, like every new development, is not entirely free of errors. Therefore we ask for your help:

To improve the quality of our software and to offer you the CUR3D that you deserve, we ask that you post any bugs you find in the discussion forum here in the Steam community. We promise you that we will look at each problem and deal with it afterwards.

We look forward to your feedback!

1. BUG: CUR3D reports when starting for the first time that the license server cannot be reached or the license data is invalid.
   
   • Temporary solution: Please exit CUR3D "clean", ie close the message and exit CUR3D. At the next start, the message will no longer appear.
     
   • This problem will be fixed in the next update.
2. BUG: CUR3D reports after a successful start several times that the license server cannot be reached or the license data is invalid.

   • Temporary solution:

   • This problem will be fixed in the next update.

We have all been waiting for this: The CUR3D Steam Edition is live and available to everyone.

From now on, the Professional and Steam Edition are always up to date.

Should you nevertheless notice a mistake in the still young program:
Just send an email to http://mailto:steam@ruhrsource.com and we will take care of it directly!

Anyone who would like to try out the public beta of the Steam Edition can now take part: Simply switch to the options in the Beta tab and activate the Steam Edition Beta. Maybe afterwards it is still necessary to "check the local files" for errors. Then the download starts; in addition to the new version, new VC Redists will also be installed.

Please let us know if the update does not work or CUR3D does not start afterwards. Thank you!

ATTENTION: THE BETA DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CUR3D MAKER EDITION DEMO!

Yes, you read that right: The CUR3D Steam Edition is going into public beta very soon. Not long now and everyone can test the new version.

It's time for something new on Steam. Precisely because we only landed in Indonesia and China with CUR3D and are a top seller, we want to do something good for the whole world.

We won't get rich with the CUR3D Steam Edition; and we don't want that at all! But CUR3D can give so many people, so much: The name CUR3D stands above all for making non-3D printable things 3D printable. Without much effort and without complicated studies in the 3D CAD area.

Why do you need extreme, analytical feedback in 3D printing, if a part should just be 3D printable?
Everyone who works with 3D printers only wants to insert a CAD file at the front and get a 3D printed model at the back. Or?

Our former developer - Daniel <3 - laid the foundation stone for the Maker Edition. Now it's time for something new. And that's why we released the CUR3D Steam Edition (BETA).

STL, OBJ and 3MF have been part of the Maker version from the start; and more file formats are coming. But without the great commitment of our community, we would never have done it all. Everyone will really benefit from your commitment. Thank you!

He has been involved in the beta test from the start and thanks to him we have already been able to fix some bugs.

His current statement on CUR3D is: " CUR3D manages to keep the details (when scaling ; author's note ) and to make a much cleaner model. Yes, I like CUR3D. I already had the Steam Maker version before beta. I'm very happy with CUR3D. "

And here are a few pictures that Steve kindly provided:




Thanks, Steve!

The time has come: The last precautions have been taken. The BETA version of the CUR3D Steam Edition is ready for upload. Only a few hours will pass before the closed beta phase starts. Now it's your turn!

We are giving away 20-30 beta keys for the closed test. No matter whether you already own the CUR3D Maker Edition (with Steam) or not. No matter where you come from; Germany, USA, Indonesia, Russia, China or wherever else.

Quite simply: Send us an email with the subject "CUR3D Steam Edition: Maker BETA" to steam-beta@ruhrsource.com. Please include your first name, last name and country of origin as well as the Steam username (or Steam ID) in the text of the email so that we can better match you. Please understand that we will ignore emails without this information.

Frankly, not much. Please give us feedback on whether CUR3D Steam Edition starts (if not, of course), whether you were able to repair a 3D model, how long it took, and how big the file was afterwards. That’s it.

As a thank you, you will receive an official license of the CUR3D Steam Edition (Maker).
