Pillar 03 — Print Network
We own no printers. You do. Let's make that work for both of us.
df3d routes qualified, pre-paid print jobs to verified local print shops. No sales required on your end.
How It Works
From job submission to payment
The entire flow — for you as a print shop.
Submit your shop
Apply with your machine list, materials, and capacity. We review every shop before onboarding.
File validation
Every job file is validated before it reaches you. No more wasted material on unprintable models.
Receive routed jobs
Jobs are matched to your machines and materials automatically. Accept or decline each job.
Print and fulfill
Print the job, hand off to shipping (or handle delivery locally), and payment is released.
Why Join
The network that puts your printers to work
Fill idle capacity
Most print shops have machines idle during off-peak hours. df3d routes jobs that fill that capacity without disrupting your existing workflow.
Pre-validated files
Every file has been checked for wall thickness, manifold errors, and printability before it reaches you. Fewer failed prints.
Guaranteed payment
Payment is collected upfront by df3d and released to you upon job completion. No chasing invoices or handling payments.
