On-Premise and Air-Gapped 3D Printer Management

Install 3DPrinterOS on your own servers and manage every 3D printer, user and file inside your own network. It can run fully air-gapped, with no outside connection, so design files and print data never leave your facility. On-premise is a standard deployment option for 3DPrinterOS, offered alongside our hosted cloud and private cloud.

What is on-premise 3D printer management?

On-premise 3D printer management means the software that controls your printers, users, files and print queues runs on servers you own and operate, rather than in a vendor’s cloud. In an air-gapped deployment those servers have no connection to the internet at all. Organizations choose it when policy, contracts or classification rules require that design data stays inside a controlled network.

What you get on your own servers

  • The full platform. Printer management, print queues, approvals, users and workgroups, job history and reporting.
  • Browser-based workflow. Users work in a web browser on your network, with nothing to install on their computers.
  • Mixed printer fleets. Formlabs, UltiMaker, LulzBot, MakerBot, Creality, Dremel, Bambu Lab and Prusa printers connect through the 3DPrinterOS Client on a Raspberry Pi, Rock Pi or PC. About the client
  • Your identity provider. Single sign-on through SAML, Okta or Shibboleth, with role-based permissions. SSO
  • Full audit trail. Every job is logged with its file, user, printer and settings. Print history
  • API access. Connect printers, users and jobs to your internal systems. API
  • Custom development. Our engineers can adapt the platform to your environment.

How an on-premise deployment works

  1. Scoping call. We review your printers, number of users, network layout, identity provider and security requirements.
  2. Security review. Your security team receives our documentation and questionnaire answers.
  3. Installation. 3DPrinterOS is installed on your servers inside your network, with no outside connection if required.
  4. Connect printers and users. Printers connect through the 3DPrinterOS Client and users sign in through your SSO.
  5. Training and support. Admins and users are trained, and our team supports you after go-live.

Frequently asked questions

Can 3DPrinterOS run on air-gapped servers?

Yes. 3DPrinterOS can run on local servers inside your own network with no outside connection, so design files never leave your facility.

Is on-premise a standard option or a custom project?

It is one of four standard deployment options, alongside our U.S. and European hosted clouds and private cloud in your own AWS, Azure or Google Cloud account. Each installation is scoped to your environment.

What is the difference between private cloud and on-premise?

Private cloud runs in your own cloud account, such as AWS, Azure or Google Cloud. On-premise runs on hardware in your own facility and can be fully disconnected from the internet.

Which printers work with an on-premise deployment?

Formlabs, UltiMaker, LulzBot, MakerBot, Creality, Dremel, Bambu Lab and Prusa printers are supported, connected through the 3DPrinterOS Client. See supported printers.

Does on-premise deployment make our program compliant?

No software makes a program compliant on its own. 3DPrinterOS keeps data inside your network and provides access control and audit trails. Accreditation and compliance decisions remain with your security organization.

Is the hosted U.S. cloud TX-RAMP certified?

Yes. The U.S. hosted deployment on Microsoft Azure is TX-RAMP certified and aligned with NIST 800-53.
