Pillar 01 — Software

Tools built for the 3D printing workflow

We build the software layer that every print shop, designer, and customer needs — but no one has built properly yet.

What We're Building

The three tools that unlock the platform

Each tool is a standalone product and an API endpoint — usable independently or together.

Pricing Engine

In Development

Instant, accurate quotes based on volume, material, quality, and machine type. No more spreadsheets or manual estimation.

File Validation

In Development

Automatically check STL, OBJ, and 3MF files for printability before a job is accepted — wall thickness, manifold errors, scale.

Routing API

Coming Soon

Route jobs to the best available print shop based on material, location, lead time, and capacity — automatically.

For Print Businesses

Software that runs your shop

Replace manual quoting, WhatsApp job management, and paper records with a proper operating system.

  • → Instant quotes your customers trust
  • → Job tracking from upload to delivery
  • → Integrated with the df3d print network

For Developers

Build 3D printing into your product

The df3d API gives your application instant access to pricing, validation, and job routing — without managing a print shop.

  • → REST API, JSON responses, no SDK required
  • → Webhook support for job status events
  • → Sandbox environment for testing

Instant pricing in one API call

This is illustrative — the API is in development. Sign up for early access.

// POST /v1/estimate
{
  "file_key": "orders/tmp_xxx/model.stl",
  "material": "PLA",
  "quality": "STANDARD",
  "quantity": 1
}

// Response
{
  "volume_cm3": 14.72,
  "dimensions_mm": { "x": 45, "y": 62, "z": 38 },
  "base_inr": 280,
  "min_inr": 250,
  "max_inr": 310
}

The Workflow

From file to delivery

1

Upload your file

STL, OBJ, or 3MF. Our validator checks it instantly for common printability issues.

2

Get an instant quote

Our pricing engine calculates material cost, machine time, and operator overhead in seconds.

3

Job is routed

The routing API matches your job to the best-fit print shop in the network.

4

Track to delivery

Real-time status updates as your job moves from accepted → printing → shipped.
