As we near 2024, we realize we depend on computers for everything. And almost everyone has a computer. But think about the people who make them. They also need to feed their families. But making computers is time-consuming, inefficient, and pricy. 3D printing parts could cut down on that. The 3D printing age: revolutionizing the future of computer engineering!

This article is about using the software Ultimaker Cura to slice 3D prints for you 3D printer. Ultimaker Cura is a software that takes files from a 3D design program (.stl), and converts them into instructions a 3D printer can read.

Three-D (three dimensional) printers are amazing things. As you can guess it prints things in 3D, meaning that they are not flat.
