With more people working remotely, there is a greater need for
teams to manage their 3D printers and print jobs from anywhere.
MakerBot CloudPrint (formerly MakerBot Cloud™) is the
next-generation cloud-based 3D printing platform that enables
individuals and teams to utilize 3D printing collaboratively, all
from within their browser and across multiple devices. MakerBot
CloudPrint combines the ease of use and familiar software features
from MakerBot Print™ with the scalability of the cloud to provide a
more efficient 3D printing workflow management solution. MakerBot
CloudPrint is currently offered free to use, and is planned to be
updated in the future to ensure users have access to the latest
features.
“We are experiencing a global phenomenon with more people
working remotely than ever before. Without the right tools, this
can lead to a disruption in work and, ultimately, a decrease in
performance,” said Nadav Goshen, CEO, MakerBot. “We believe that
MakerBot CloudPrint is an ideal solution for individual or team
collaboration from anywhere. MakerBot CloudPrint offers an
all-in-one solution for users to prepare, queue, print, and manage
printers. MakerBot CloudPrint aims to easily adapt to your
workflow, no matter how many printers you have. This solution was
built with productivity in mind, and we plan to continuously
improve the fastest CAD-to-part benefits of the METHOD
platform.”
The new workflow software has been designed to overcome common
challenges associated with 3D printing, such as optimizing
utilization, managing print jobs, and collaborating with team
members. MakerBot CloudPrint provides a faster and more advanced
print preparation and management solution to enable users to be
more productive. The solution gives users more visibility into and
control over their print jobs, from mass production to team
projects to individually queued jobs. MakerBot CloudPrint allows
users to prioritize print jobs by project or reorder the print
queue based on shifting priorities. With MakerBot CloudPrint, teams
can easily share access to connected MakerBot® 3D printers even
when working remotely. MakerBot CloudPrint is also integrated with
Google products, allowing users to access MakerBot applications
with familiar tools.
“Working remotely has meant a lot of changes to how we
collaborate in a creative environment. While many digital tools
have replaced face to face interactions, nothing can replace
working with physical prototypes. MakerBot CloudPrint enables us to
work with our 3D printers at a distance, removing one more barrier
in the process,” said Marco Perry, CEO, PENSA. PENSA is an
industrial design and invention consulting firm based in New York
City. The firm uses the MakerBot METHOD™ platform for a wide range
of uses in its product design and development processes.
MakerBot CloudPrint streamlines the 3D printing workflow,
improving productivity while reducing printer downtime between
projects. Key features include:
- Print preparation: Users can slice and prepare their 3D prints
directly from their browser. The new full-featured print
preparation view allows for easy part positioning and preview.
Users can utilize optimized print modes for a seamlessly controlled
experience or access advanced settings on the MakerBot METHOD
platform, such as custom or experimental print profiles. The live
camera feeds also provide the latest status updates on print jobs
from connected printers.
- Printer management: Users can add, monitor, and control access
to connected MakerBot printers from anywhere. The dashboard
provides a centralized location to track and view prints directly
from a browser. Users can also generate reports to analyze the
performance of their printers.
- Queuing: The new printer queuing feature improves the
productivity of the machines by queuing print jobs to each
connected machine. Users can gain insights into their print jobs
and track their projects using the queue and print history
features.
- Collaboration: Printers can be grouped into workspaces and
shared with teams, production areas, or classrooms to reduce the
hassles and redundancies of multiple printer management.
Permissions can be set for team members to allow for better control
and access to the workspace. Submission links can be created to
allow anyone to submit print jobs for approval.
- Advanced METHOD platform settings: MakerBot CloudPrint unlocks
expert settings on the METHOD platform for users who need more
advanced print features. This includes additional MakerBot LABS™
for METHOD user settings, custom print profiles, and access to the
full portfolio of METHOD extruders and materials, including single
extrusion feature to increase print volume, and more.
The MakerBot CloudPrint software is compatible with MakerBot’s
3D printing solutions, including the MakerBot METHOD 3D printer
series, the MakerBot SKETCH Classroom™ bundle, and the MakerBot
Replicator® 3D printer series. Additional MakerBot CloudPrint
updates include speed optimizations, print performance
improvements, new UX/UI designs, improved slicing and previewing
options, and multi-model support.
MakerBot plans to release additional features for MakerBot
CloudPrint in the near future, including improved print job queuing
and organization, custom print modes, per layer preview
improvements, and improved printer monitoring.
