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.
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".
.
New customers should now be able to have CUR3D launched immediately without a second (or even a completely unsuccessful) launch!
Please give CUR3D and me a second chance. I put a lot of effort and love into my work to be able to offer you an uncomplicated, performant and cost-effective 3D printing prepress for the repair of 3D data. I always have an ear for your wishes and problems and will work through them bit by bit.
Many kind regards,

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
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.
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 data exchange between different systems. Product data information for the entire life cycle can be mapped within STEP. It is therefore suitable for many different areas of application or systems such as computer-aided design (CAD), computer-aided manufacturing (CAM), product data management (PDM), digital mock-up (DMU) and computer-aided engineering (CAE).
The Initial Graphics Exchange Specification (IGES) defines a neutral, manufacturer-independent data format that is used for the digital exchange of information between computer-aided design programs (CAD). The application ranges from traditional, two-dimensional drawings to three-dimensional models for simulations or manufacturing. The data is stored in individual units, the so-called entities. These can be arranged in any hierarchy. The primitives of a drawing or a model (such as lines, curves, surfaces) are represented by different entity types. Since the IGES specification version 5, bodies are also provided. This means that a closed surface association also has the information "inside" and "outside".
CUR3D Steam Edition will soon support both file formats via DLC. With the correct settings, loss-free miniatures and error-free 1: 1 models of the 3D data can be 3D printed.
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 liab
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).
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 founders of CUR3D UG (limited liability) adhere to this. From the former developers, the heads of development - Christopher Maiwald (external CTO) and Ernst Christian Fleischmann (CEO) - are still with us.
CUR3D UG (limited liability) has been exclusively responsible for the development and sales of the 3D printing prepress CUR3D since June 2021.
The official sale of version 3.0.2.0 started with resounding success in October 2021.
Without you, the makers, hobbyists and 3D printing enthusiasts, CUR3D would not exist.
Thank you for making CUR3D what it is and will be.
Unfortunately, we often found in the past that CUR3D was purchased, used extensively and then reimbursed for the purchase price. Thanks to us, these "customers" had a 3D printable 3D model that they probably wouldn't have without us and we went completely empty-handed.
Please don't do that. The development of CUR3D must be financed.
If you "just want to try out" CUR3D, please use one of our demo versions: https://cur3d.de/product-category/demo/
This gives us a better overview of the development and financing of CUR3D. Wrong refund reasons do not help in the further development of CUR3D.
Thank you!
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 prin
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 the release that Microsoft Defender (or Windows Security) reports. We are extremely sorry! We are dealing with the problem while these lines are being written.
It won't be long until we release CUR3D 3.0. The Steam Edition will appear a little later; But if you want to get a taste of the new version, you now have the chance to test both the Maker and the Professional Edition for 14 days free of charge. You can find out everything else h

Anyone who would like to try out the public beta of the Steam Edition can now take part: Simply switch to the options in the Beta tab and activate the Steam Edition Beta. Maybe afterwards it is still necessary to "check the local files" for errors. Then the download starts; in addition to the new version, new VC Redists will also be installed.
Please let us know if the update does not work or CUR3D does not start afterwards. Thank you!
ATTENTION: THE BETA DOES NOT WORK WITH THE CUR3D MAKER EDITION DEMO!
Yes, you read that right: The CUR3D Steam Edition is going into public beta very soon. Not long now and everyone can test the new version.

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.
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?
Our former developer - Daniel <3 - laid the foundation stone for the Maker Edition. Now it's time for something new. And that's why we released the CUR3D Steam Edition (BETA).
STL, OBJ and 3MF have been part of the Maker version from the start; and more file formats are coming. But without the great commitment of our community, we would never have done it all. Everyone will really benefit from your commitment. Thank you!
He has been involved in the beta test from the start and thanks to him we have already been able to fix some bugs.
His current statement on CUR3D is: " CUR3D manages to keep the details (when scaling ; author's note ) and to make a much cleaner model. Yes, I like CUR3D. I already had the Steam Maker version before beta. I'm very happy with CUR3D. "
And here are a few pictures that Steve kindly provided:
Thanks, Steve!
UPDATE 2020-01-09, 12:33; Dear BETA applicant, please send your full BETA request again to [email protected]. We have had a problem with our Exchange Server for the past two days. We are very sorry and apologize for this. Cheerio, Christian UPDATE 2020-01-08, 00:56; THE L
The time has come: The last precautions have been taken. The BETA version of the CUR3D Steam Edition is ready for upload. Only a few hours will pass before the closed beta phase starts. Now it's your turn!
We are giving away 20-30 beta keys for the closed test. No matter whether you already own the CUR3D Maker Edition (with Steam) or not. No matter where you come from; Germany, USA, Indonesia, Russia, China or wherever else.
Quite simply: Send us an email with the subject "CUR3D Steam Edition: Maker BETA" to [email protected]. Please include your first name, last name and country of origin as well as the Steam username (or Steam ID) in the text of the email so that we can better match you. Please understand that we will ignore emails without this information.
Frankly, not much. Please give us feedback on whether CUR3D Steam Edition starts (if not, of course), whether you were able to repair a 3D model, how long it took, and how big the file was afterwards. That’s it.
As a thank you, you will receive an official license of the CUR3D Steam Edition (Maker).

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!
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:
