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.

Maker Faire 2014 - The Greatest Show and Tell on Earth

This past weekend was Maker Faire 2014 in New York. Often referred to as "The Greatest Show and Tell on Earth," this years show did not disappoint. Beyond featuring some of the most innovative companies in the 3D Printing world, Maker Faire brings together the best and the brightest makers across the world to showcase the wide variety of projects they are working on.Here are some sights from our visit:[caption id="attachment_109" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

The entrance to the greatest show and tell on earth[/caption]One of the most talked about projects in the 3D Printing world as of late has been the Strati car by Local Motors. It's even more impressive in person.[caption id="attachment_111" align="aligncenter" width="800"]

Two projects we enjoyed seeing were 3DPonics, a 3D Printable Hydroponics System, and Urban Hubs, localized 3D Printed recycling stations.[caption id="attachment_117" align="aligncenter" width="800"]
