UltiMaker Cura is a lightweight application that runs on low-end systems. The amount of RAM memory, CPU (Central Processing Unit), and GPU (Graphical Processor Unit) necessary heavily depends on the file size of the loaded 3D models.
Tip: We advise running UltiMaker Cura on the latest operating system version to ensure it is supported. The experience of the software may differ depending on your machine.
