3DPrinterOS is an easy way to use complete software packages for 3D printers (Firmware, Software, Cloud platforms etc.). The system covers every aspect of 3D printing and advanced manufacturing workflows, solving the fragmentation of many disparate 3D printers and their associated software. 3DPrinterOS is like Android for 3D printers. Users can go directly from CAD to STL/OBJ/Step, prepare a build tray allocation, slice for 150+ types of desktop 3D printers or queue for 1200+ industrial 3D printers. The system can also monitor real time prints and share projects and printers with your colleagues or friends.

Is 3DPrinterOS a cloud software?

3DPrinterOS can be deployed in the cloud and on local servers. Its deployment depends on its intended use. 3DPrinterOS has successfully deployed private internal instances within F2000 companies and government institutions without an internet connection.

Is 3DPrinterOS a slicer?

3DPrinterOS is an operating system that allows you to run multiple slicers and software on one platform. It supports many different 3D printers, and firmware.

How secure is 3DPrinterOS?

3DPrinterOS has the highest security levels for end-to-end encrypted 3D printing workflows in the industry. It is also partnered with cloud solution providers like Microsoft, Google and Amazon, in order to offer a pre-approved IT solution that can easily be deployed in any enterprise. For example, Microsoft’s Azure cloud is internationally recognised as being a secure cloud private platform, and it is installed in over 90% of Fortune 500 companies.

Connecting Your 3D Printer to the Cloud - Raspberry Pi + Wifi (BETA)

Since opening our doors just over one month ago, our users have been anxious to connect their printers to 3DPrinterOS via wifi using their Raspberry Pi devices. We are pleased announce the release of our first beta version of our Raspberry Pi image that supports wifi connections to your 3D printer! Here is a quick walkthrough on how to get connected and printing easier than ever before via Raspberry Pi using a wifi dongle.STEP 1: Download the latest Raspberry Pi image by clicking the link below:RASPBERRY PI IMAGE DOWNLOADSTEP 2: Burn the Raspberry Pi image to SD card by following the instructions in the link below:How to install 3DPrinterOS on Raspberry Pi Type B/B+/2 image on 8gb cardSTEP 3: Plug in your Wifi Module into your Raspberry Pi and plug your Raspberry Pi to your 3D Printer via USB.[caption id="attachment_1130" align="aligncenter" width="640"]

We are using the Edimax EW-7811Un Wifi USB Adapter and you can find it on Amazon.com for under $10.[/caption]STEP 4: After plugging in your Wifi Module and turning on your Raspberry Pi go back to your computer and after 5 minutes or so you should see a new WiFi Network pop-up labeled “3dprinteros”. Click to connect to this network.

Step 5: Navigate to http://10.10.0.1. A dialog box will pop up saying “Authentication Required” Here you will enter:

User Name: piPassword: 3dprinteros-client

Step 6: Now you will see a prompt asking you to login using your 3DPrinterOS user name and password. Hit enter and wait for your account to be synced with your Raspberry Pi. (This could take a few minutes)

Step 7: You should now see your 3DPrinterOS client screen indicating that your printer in connected to the Raspberry Pi via 3DPrinterOS.

Step 8: Now that you have completed connecting your printer to 3DPrinterOS via Raspberry Pi Wifi, you can navigate to http://10.10.0.1/wifi where you will be prompted to enter your wifi password so that the pi will stay connected to the nextwork. After you complete this step you can disconnect your computer from the "3dprinteros" wifi network and back onto your home or office wifi network.Please be aware that this is a beta version of the 3DPrinterOS Pi image. Any feedback you can provide to us via the forum or via email at charles@3dprinteros.com is greatly appreciated.Thanks and Happy Printing!
