2. Historical Context: The Pre-14.07 Landscape
To understand the importance of the "download" of Cura 14.07, one must understand the environment into which it was released. In 2013 and early 2014, the slicing landscape was dominated by Slic3r and Skeinforge.
- Skeinforge: Powerful but notoriously complex, requiring users to navigate hundreds of nested setting tabs.
- Slic3r: Faster and open-source, but often plagued by bugs and a user interface that intimidated beginners.
Ultimaker, a Dutch 3D printer manufacturer, had developed Cura initially as a streamlined frontend for their own machines. However, the release of version 14.07 (and the preceding 14.xx beta series) signaled a shift toward a universal philosophy. The software was built around the slogan "Prepare model, print model," a radical simplification of the 3D printing workflow.
