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.

3DPrinterOS releases open-source cloud client for 3D Printers

With this release it’s possible to connect potentially any 3d printer to the cloud and contributors are encouraged to add their own features, fix bugs, and customize the cloud client to fit their printers and user requirements.The cloud client for 3DPrinterOS already supports the majority of desktop 3D printers and is being shared under the GNU Affero General Public License. The release offers access to the standard and powerful set of tools available in the 3DPrinterOS cloud platform. It’s meant for 3D printer manufacturers, developers, educators and tinkerers to access, expand and contribute to all existing features and functionality.[caption id="attachment_1263" align="aligncenter" width="450"]

The power of the cloud - Connecting users and printers[/caption]“Our goal is to radically reduce the latency between design, manufacturing and distribution of physical products, at the point of need and time of need. Connecting 3D Printers to the cloud is an essential step towards the connected factory of the future. We are excited about the opportunities this release creates for our industry and beyond,” said CEO John Dogru.The cloud client gives manufactures and developers the power to add, modify and improve:

Support for Windows, Mac, Raspberry Pi and Ubuntu GNU/Linux
Auto-detection and auto-connection via USB and Ethernet Port
Multi-printer management – multiple printers can be connected to a single machine (I.e. 4 printers connected to a single PC)
Numerous 3D Printer drivers
3 different Web Camera control modules for monitoring prints
Visualization, editing, slicing, model/gcode fixing and sharing tools already available in the 3DPrinterOS cloud

“This open source release makes it simple for every user and manufacturer to access the power of 3D Printing through the cloud,” explained Dogru. “Now any manufacturer, large or small, can modify, customize and build on top of this release to extend their functionality and make 3d printing easier for their users.”3DPrinterOS encourages developers to push any changes or modifications to Github!
