How this software helped me manage, grow, and sell a 3dp service
I’ve founded, ran for 10 years, and sold my 3D printing business (here and here it is, and the full story) with the help of this System.
I couldn't find an adjustable all-in-one user-friendly management software for my 3d printing business for a long while, but I didn't want to subscribe to a set of apps and get a pile of surplus functions, no changeability, and a fat recurring bill.
In 2022 I discovered no-code and the prototype was born and put to work. Later in 2022, I had to remotely control production (40+ 3d printers, 5 people), and a new version literally saved my business.
The software allowed me to do 3 crucial things:
1. Remotely manage a big part of fluently changing and growing 3d printing business;
2. Reduce time spent on each activity so more can be done;
3. Gather, analyze, and leverage data for tactical and strategic decision-making and the exit deal (2022-2023).
Now, I want to share the System, and my experience, in the form of instruments and documents for: finding your niche, efficient production and client work, correct pricing, and more. So, together, it may become a foundation for your business's growth, as it was for mine.

Since it is not connected to printers, any “desktop” and semi-professional FDM, SLA-DLP 3d printer will work great.
Other printer types and classes that use different technologies (SLS e.g.) can also be used but may require system adjustments to be correctly built-in and accounted for (margin calculation, material usage, etc.).

3DPBOSS does not connect to printers directly and does not provide any slicing or modeling capabilities. But it does help to manage an unlimited number of printers (almost any type) and leverage any slicing/modeling software there is.
There are so many different slicing/modeling software options, and we see no point in being locked with a built-in one.
Not all printers can be connected to the cloud, and many of those that can (as practice shows) may require a lot of “manual adjustments” before and right after the start, to get a stable outcome (especially when printing large/long prints).

Yes. Book a call to learn more.
The whole system can be redone, within the limitations of the Notion and Google Sheets environments. The list of possibilities is pretty long, and if you add automation tools like Make or Zapier, it becomes even more extensive.
You will be able to adjust the system fully. We know that business is constantly changing, and our system accounts for that.
Core functionality will require a bit of learning to modify, but it is doable for anyone and requires no coding.

On a free tier (which this system is designed to work on), there is a 5 MB upload limit (on the first paid tier it is unlimited).
We advise creating a cloud drive folder, with the following hierarchy: Year, Month, Order name-number, store models and sliced files in that folder and provide a link to it in the order page (or even link each slice to each job, if you need it so).

There are a number of built-in integrations (Slack, Google Drive…), and a lot more accessible through Zapier or Make. There is also an API available.
If used, it will create much more value than its cost. It's a one-time payment (no subscription) for an all-in-one management solution tailored for a specific type of business, created by people who ran that type of business for 10 years. We also share that experience as a note with general and tactical pro tips for finding your niche, efficient production, higher lead conversion, correct pricing, and more. That information alone is worth more than the whole system costs.
Subscription fees even for a year for a set of tools that will cover such functionality (not to mention customizations if they are possible), will cost much more.
So we believe it to be a steal for the price.
