Pillar 03 — API & Integrations
Embed 3D printing capabilities into your product.
Pricing, file validation, and job management as API endpoints. Build 3D printing features into your platform without managing print infrastructure.
API Endpoints
Three endpoints that unlock 3D printing
REST/JSON. No SDK required. Each endpoint works independently or together.
Pricing API
POST a file and configuration — get back an accurate cost estimate in milliseconds. Geometry-based pricing, not guesswork.
Validation API
Run printability checks on STL, OBJ, and 3MF files — wall thickness, manifold errors, and scale. All automated.
Job Management API
Submit jobs, track status, and receive webhooks on every state change. Manage the full lifecycle via API.

}Use Cases
What people build with df3d
E-commerce stores
Let customers upload custom files and order 3D-printed products directly from your store.
CAD / design tools
Add a 'Print this design' button to your CAD or design application with instant pricing.
Procurement platforms
Automate sourcing of custom 3D-printed parts. Upload a BOM, get quotes, place orders.
Manufacturing portals
Add 3D printing as a manufacturing option alongside CNC and injection moulding.
