Cura LulzBot Edition
Cura LulzBot Edition is the recommended software for your LulzBot 3D Printer. Download the
latest version today, for free, from LulzBot.com/Cura.
Cura LE is a Free Software program that can be utilized by many 3D printers using the Fused
Filament Fabrication (FFF) process. Fused Filament Fabrication is the term for the process of
laying down successive layers of extruded filament to create a three dimensional object. As
each layer of molten plastic is extruded into place, it fuses with the previous layer.
Cura LE prepares your 3D model for printing by converting your design into G-code and allows
you to control the operation of your LulzBot 3D printer.
Keep Cura LE updated to have the latest filament slicing profiles, developed and tested by the
LulzBot team to ensure the best performance out of your LulzBot!

with the LulzBot Mini 2 3D printer. If your school or workplace requires a manual driver
installation process, the drivers can be downloaded from LulzBot.com/downloads.
