Empower students to design, create, and innovate while giving educators and administrators complete control over their 3D printing ecosystem.
Just being able to click a few buttons and set the prints going has been huge – and we can have multiple people doing it at the same time without stepping on each other’s toes.

In 2017, Holy Ghost Prep transformed an underused space into The BFIC, a modern makerspace that sparked a broader campus redesign. They later extended this vision into the “STEM Tower,” a connected set of biology, chemistry, and physics labs built for hands-on, design-driven learning—an environment ideally powered by 3DPrinterOS
3DPrinterOS makes it easy for schools to manage 3D printing at scale, giving administrators full visibility into print activity while reducing manual workload. Trusted by leading universities, it streamlines operations and lowers costs across entire districts.
3DPrinterOS is robust enough to run the 3D printing programs at world-class schools
3DPrinterOS gives IT and admins the ability to see what’s being printed, by whom, and when.
3DPrinterOS reduces the cost of running a 3D printing program district wide.

Increased Utilization
Operational Efficiency Guaranteed
AI Print Guardian watches each print through the printer's camera and looks for signs of failure such as spaghetti, warping, layer shifts and blobs. When it spots a problem it alerts you in real time and can pause the job, so you save filament and printer time instead of finding a failed print hours later.
More than 200 printer models work with 3DPrinterOS, from brands including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Ultimaker, Creality, Dremel, Formlabs and MakerBot, plus printers running Klipper firmware. You can search the full list by brand on the supported printers page.
You can start free for 14 days, and no credit card is required. There are plans for individual makers, schools and universities, print farms and enterprises. Compare plans, or contact us for a quote for your organization.
Yes. Users can sign in with your organization's SSO through SAML, Shibboleth, OKTA or InCommon, and new users can be added to the right workgroup automatically. You can use our managed Azure cloud in the U.S. or Europe, run 3DPrinterOS in your own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account, or install it on air-gapped servers. The U.S. cloud is TX-RAMP certified.
Admins put students and staff into workgroups and choose which printers each group can use. You can require approval before a job prints, cap printing hours or material, and give each user a balance. Prints can be charged per gram, per job or as a flat fee, with payments through PaperCut, Stripe or CBORD, and failed prints are refunded automatically.
A slicer turns a 3D model into print instructions for a printer. OctoPrint is free, open-source software that usually runs on a Raspberry Pi attached to each printer to control and monitor it. 3DPrinterOS covers the whole fleet: it includes cloud slicing, then adds shared queues, user roles and approvals, quotas and billing, AI failure detection and analytics for every printer in one cloud dashboard. See 3DPrinterOS vs OctoPrint.
Connect them all to 3DPrinterOS. It supports more than 200 printer models, including Bambu Lab, Prusa, Ultimaker, Creality, Dremel, Formlabs, MakerBot and Klipper printers. You install the 3DPrinterOS client on a PC, Raspberry Pi or ROCK Pi next to the printers, or connect supported cloud-ready printers directly. Every printer then shares the same queues, permissions and reports.
3D printer management software connects your 3D printers, users and files to one system. Instead of moving SD cards around and running each machine on its own, you send, queue, approve and monitor jobs from one place, and you can see who printed what, on which printer and at what cost. 3DPrinterOS does this in the cloud, from any web browser.
Used by school districts to run 3D printers across every campus, with Chromebook-friendly cloud slicing, teacher approvals and district-wide reporting
Let teachers approve student prints and manage classes by school
