Question 1

What is 3DPrinterOS?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 2

Is 3DPrinterOS a cloud software?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 3

Is 3DPrinterOS a slicer?

Accepted Answer

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.

Question 4

How secure is 3DPrinterOS?

Accepted Answer

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.
