Cura creates a seamless integration between hardware, software and materials for the best 3D printing experience around. Cura supports the 3MF, OBJ and STL file formats and is available on Windows, Mac and Linux. The last version of Ultimaker Cura that supported 32 bit Operation Systems was Cura 2.3.1 of 2016, which of course has a lot of items not yet in it and doesn't.

Ultimaker Cura 4.6.1
April 29, 2020
Once again, THANK YOU to all Ultimaker Cura users helping in the fight against COVID-19 – with 3D printing, volunteering, or just by staying home. Want to get involved? Find out more on our website.
Patch release to fix some bugs that emerged with 4.6.0.
Bug fixes
Z seam placement. Changes to the Simplify() algorithm in 4.6.0 caused Z seam placement issues, which resulted in less-than-perfect results. This has been fixed.

Ender 3 Pro nozzles missing. A lot of issue reports came in about nozzles missing for this machine definition, so we made a fix to stop this happening.

and reap the benefits of the breakneck feature development of this massively popular open source project.
Highlights
Startup time greatly reduced.
This makes my Cura startup speed hack obsolete. And I’m grateful for that.
Better graphics performance on your old and slow computer Moviesherlock 6 0 8 millimeters.
Adaptive layer height
Experimental section. This one is amazing. Following the suit of many slicers starting with the powerful but buggy KISS slicer many years ago, and continuting with Slic3r Prusa Edition and the experimental IceSL slicer, Cura has its own Variable Layer Height Slicing, and it is amazing. Unlike other slicers that offer varying the layer height manually, Cura let’s you set some boundaries, and then figures out all alone what parts of your model need lower layer height for maximum smoothness. Way to go.

Tree Supports
Experimental section. A new way to handle overhangs similar to what Meshmixer or Autodesk Print Studio have pioneered. It uses ‘branches’ that ‘grow’ and multiply towards areas that need support, with fewer points of contact on the model, giving better surface finishes. This makes it ideal for organically-formed prints. It is possible to use tree support in tandem with other support methods.

Change Log
Tree support
Experimental tree-like support structure that uses ‘branches’ to support prints. Branches ‘grow’ and multiply towards the model, with fewer contact points than alternative support methods. This results in better surface finishes for organic-shaped prints.

Adaptive layers
Prints with a variable layer thickness which adapts to the angle of the model’s surfaces. The result is high-quality surface finishes with a marginally increased print time. This setting can be found under the experimental category.

Faster startup
Printer definitions are now loaded when adding a printer, instead of loading all available printers on startup.

Better Graphics Performance
Backface culling in layer view. Doubled frame rate by only rendering visible surfaces of the model in the layer view, instead of rendering the entire model. Good for lower spec GPUs as it is less resource-intensive.

Multi build plate
Experimental feature that creates separate build plates with shared settings in a single session, eliminating the need to clear the build plate multiple times. Multiple build plates can be sliced and sent to a printer or printer group in Cura Connect. This feature must be enabled manually in the preferences ‘general’ tab.

Improved mesh type selection
New button in the left toolbar to edit per model settings, giving the user more control over where to place support. Objects can be used as meshes, with a drop down list where ‘Print as support’, ‘Don’t overlap support with other models’, ‘Modify settings for overlap with other models’, or ‘Modify settings for infill of other models’ can be specified.

View optimization
Quick camera controls introduced in version 3.1 have been revised to create more accurate isometric, front, left, and right views.

Updated sidebar to QtQuick 2.0
Application framework updated to increase speed, achieve a better width and style fit, and gives users dropdown menus that are styled to fit the enabled Ultimaker Cura theme, instead of the operating system’s theme.

Hide sidebar
The sidebar can now be hidden/shown by selecting View > Expand/Collapse Sidebar, or with the hotkey CMD + E (Mac) or CTRL + E (PC and Linux).

Disable ‘Send slice information’
A shortcut to disable ‘Send slice information’ has been added to the first launch to make it easier for privacy-conscious users to keep slice information private.
