For help with development, there is also the [#cura-dev channel](https://web.libera.chat/#cura-dev). Dependencies ------------ * [Uranium](https://github.com/Ultimaker/Uranium) Cura is built on top of the Uranium framework. * [CuraEngine](https://github.com/Ultimaker/CuraEngine) This will be needed at runtime to perform the actual slicing. * [fdm_materials](https://github.com/Ultimaker/fdm_materials) Required to load a printer that has swappable material profiles. * [PySerial](https://github.com/pyserial/pyserial) Only required for USB printing support. * [python-zeroconf](https://github.com/jstasiak/python-zeroconf) Only required to detect mDNS-enabled printers. For a list of required Python packages, with their recommended version, see `requirements.txt`. This list is not exhaustive at the moment, please check the links in the next section for more details.
