- MAINTENANCE WORK - 30 April 2024
There may be temporary license server outages in the next few days. We are working hard on a solution and apologize!
- MAINTENANCE WORK - 9 April 2024
Maintenance work on the CUR3D license server will take place on April 9th, 2024 from 2:00 p.m. to around 8:00 p.m. (Central European Time) From this point on, failures may occur and CUR3D may not be usable. We apologize to you for this inconvenience.
- Hooray, CUR3D 3.0.3.0 is here! And finally fixes two very annoying bugs - 29 November 2022
CUR3D 3.0.3.0 has been released I am really, really sorry I would like to apologise politely to all those who bought CUR3D and for whom the start-up did not work after the installation. I had to search for the error for an uncomfortably long time and now I hope to have found it and finally fixed it. What had happened? CUR3D Steam Edition (and soon CUR3D Viewer Steam Edition) is based on the same core as CUR3D (without Steam). This makes development easier for me; but also brings its pitfalls when you have to combine different licensing systems and copy protection. What works wonderfully without Steam in the background, reacts quite differently with Steam (or other portals where I still want to publish CUR3D). So I had to teach my copy protection to distinguish more clearly between several licensing systems and then fire it more "intelligently". The result is something to be proud of. Ne…
- Workaround found if CUR3D does not start after purchase - 21 November 2022
We're really sorry that we didn't know about the problem for so long! It was only thanks to the great Steam support that we noticed the error and we are working flat out on the bug fix. Until then, we recommend the following workaround. If CUR3D displays an empty user interface after starting, please proceed as follows: Please install the free CUR3D Maker Edition demo version https://cur3d.de/shop/cur3d-maker-edition/cur3d-makeredition-demo/ from our website. Install the demo version and enter your licence data sent to you by e-mail after the start. Now you can close the CUR3D demo version again. Now start your purchased CUR3D Steam Edition as usual in Steam. As I said, we are really, really sorry about this. We promise you that there will be a patch in the next few days that will fix the problem for good. Thank you very much for your understanding and support! Christian, CEO CUR3D UG (…
- Once with professionals: Step and Iges move into the CUR3D Steam Edition - 4 January 2022
Professional file formats for 3D CAD coming soon Standard for Product Model Data and Initial Graphics Exchange Specification DLC are currently being reviewed on Steam Once with professionals The time has come soon: two professional file formats for 3D CAD will be included in the CUR3D Steam Edition via DLC. Some people are familiar with the * .step or * .stp and * .iges or * .igs file formats for professional reasons. Both have established themselves well in the areas of architecture and product development, as they support object trees and colors and still remain somewhat editable. Brief information about *.step/ *.stp STEP (STandard for the Exchange of Product model data) is a standard for describing product data. In addition to the physical, it also includes functional aspects of a product. STEP is formally defined in ISO standard 10303. Due to the standardization, it is suitable for…
- CUR3D Steam Edition is alive - 10 November 2021
Long live CUR3D Perhaps one or the other noticed: RUHRSOURCE GmbH - the company that originally developed CUR3D - had to file for bankruptcy in October 2020. However, we do not let our loyal CUR3D customers down! CUR3D lives and will be further developed by CUR3D UG (limited liability). (Almost) everything new At that time, RUHRSOURCE GmbH dedicated itself to simplifying additive manufacturing. The young startup from Bochum succeeded in doing that too. In a very short time they blossomed into a respected service provider for 3D printing. Above all, however, the transfer of knowledge about getting started with and professionalizing 3D printing for everyone was the top priority. The main reason was the release of the CUR3D software in November 2016, which greatly simplifies 3D printing. Since then, every 3D model can be 3D printed in every scale without a lot of technical know-how. The fo…
- CUR3D 3.0 now available - 20 October 2020
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 t…

- CUR3D Steam Edition (BETA) updates & feedback - 21 January 2020
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. CUR3D is for everyone 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? That is why we developed CUR3D: data in - magic box - 3D printable model out! Our former developer - Daniel
- CUR3D Steam Edition: closed BETA test - 7 January 2020

- First screenshot of the CUR3D Steam Edition: Maker - 7 November 2019
Newsflash: The first screenshot of CUR3D Steam Edition: Maker has been released. This shows the file formats STL, 3MF and OBJ for everyone. Already in our last release candidate of the version without Steam, the two new file formats were included. We also integrated the Theme Editor into the Maker Edition.
- Great changes await you - 5 November 2019
For sad reasons our last update is unfortunately very long ago. Meanwhile, a lot has happened in CUR3D (without Steam). Since our worldwide Steam customers, also in Indonesia and China, are very close to our hearts, we will release a new update in the very near future: CUR3D Maker Edition (with Steam) becomes CUR3D Steam Edition! What are the advantages of the CUR3D Steam Edition? CUR3D Steam Edition (short: CUR3D SE) does more: CUR3D SE always contains the latest core of CUR3D and at the same time as the regular version without Steam. Furthermore, CUR3D Steam Edition will be expandable via DLC from the simple Maker Edition (non-commercial) to the Professional Edition (commercial). The "Permission for commercial use" DLC will be replaced by the Elements DLC. In plain language this means: Significantly faster availability of updates ... ... and features ... and bug fixes DLC: Elements (S…
