3D printing operations

Maximize utilization

Monitor machines and workstation performance metrics in real-time. Ensure machines are operating optimally to prevent unplanned downtime.

3D printing connectivity
  • Machine and operator data

    Visualize contextual operator data with machine data for a complete view of equipment and material usage

  • Connect all your equipment

    Connect networked and stranded printers with common APIs, Node-RED, and edge sensors

  • Machine management

    Build apps for operators to monitor maintenance, clearnings, changeovers, fleet status, and job status

Guide assembly and inspection

Error proof operations and report defects in real-time with human and process data. Provide operators with 3D CAD models to ease inspection by embedding them into work instruction apps.
