Run every 3D print job
from one queue.
Take in requests, approve them, route work across the fleet, and keep a useful record of what happened. Built for makerspaces, print farms, and research labs.
Used by teams that run printers around the clock
What is Pluraprint?
Pluraprint is software for running a shared 3D printing operation. It handles print job intake, approvals, queue management, printer fleet coordination, and reporting. Your slicers and printer software keep doing their jobs; Pluraprint manages the work around them.
It works with mixed fleets and can be hosted by us, run on your own infrastructure, or deployed on an air-gapped network. Each job keeps its submission, approval, printer, material, and outcome history together.
3D print queue software
One shared queue for submitted, blocked, waiting, printing, failed, and completed work, with status for each requester.
Explore →Printer fleet management
Live machine state, model and material-aware dispatch, and maintenance history across supported mixed fleets.
Explore →Print farm software
Order and project fields, printer history, throughput reporting, reprints, and pickup tracking.
Explore →Who it's for
For teams that print on behalf of other people.
The details differ by setting, but the basic problem is the same: more people are submitting work than there are people available to manage it.
Education & Makerspaces
Give students one place to submit work, see their queue position, and find out when a print is ready. Staff keep control of approvals and priorities.
For education →Manufacturing & Print Farms
Route production work across a fleet, keep related parts together, and track the machine time and material behind each job.
For industry →Research & Labs
Keep files, approvals, print settings, and outcomes together, with access controls for sensitive research.
For research →The problem
Printers are easy to buy.
Operations are hard to run.
A shared drive can hold files, and a spreadsheet can list jobs. Neither one knows that a printer has gone down, a material has changed, or a request still needs approval. Someone has to keep reconciling the gaps.
No visibility
The file, approval, printer assignment, and final outcome live in different places, if they're recorded at all.
Wasted capacity
A finished printer waits for someone to notice while eligible work is still sitting in the queue.
Zero data
Without job history, it's hard to explain material use, recurring failures, or why one part of the fleet is always backed up.
The platform
One place to run the work.
Requests, approvals, queued work, printer state, and job history stay connected instead of being copied between tools.
Structured job intake
A guided submission keeps the sliced file, requester, material requirements, and other job details together.
Approvals & moderation
Build approval requirements from your rules, then review or reject a job before it reaches the queue.
Fleet & queue orchestration
Match queued jobs to printers that meet their material and model requirements, with operator control when plans change.
Utilization analytics
See throughput, failure rate, quality, and utilization by printer, site, and time period.
Failure handling & reprints
Record a failure against the original job and create a reprint without uploading and configuring it again.
Notifications & status
Send email updates as jobs move through the states your team cares about.
Security & deployment
Choose where your files are stored.
Uploaded files are encrypted at rest, and data moving between the web app, services, storage, and site agents uses TLS. Role-based permissions control access, while the audit log records changes to configuration, permissions, and approvals.
For the most sensitive environments, Pluraprint can run completely offline, self-hosted behind your firewall or fully air-gapped, with no dependency on the public internet.
Explore security →Encrypted file storage
Uploaded files are encrypted in storage, and service connections use TLS.
Offline & air-gapped
Run behind your firewall or on a network with no public internet route.
Self-hosted deployment
Keep the application and its data on your own servers or private cloud.
Role-based access
Define what each role can do and connect your existing identity provider.
Audit history
Keep a timestamped history of jobs, approvals, and configuration changes.
Data ownership
A self-hosted deployment keeps application data inside infrastructure you control.
FAQ
Common questions
What Pluraprint is, who it's for, and how it fits alongside the tools you already use.
What is Pluraprint?
Pluraprint is software for running a shared 3D printing operation. It handles job submission, requirements and approvals, the print queue, printer management, pickup, and analytics. It sits above the slicer and vendor software rather than replacing them.
Who is Pluraprint for?
Pluraprint is for teams that run printers for other people, including university makerspaces, teaching labs, print farms, production teams, and research groups. It is most useful when submissions, printer decisions, and finished parts need a shared process.
How is Pluraprint different from a slicer or printer host?
A slicer creates the file a printer can execute, and printer software controls the machine. Pluraprint manages the job around that file: who submitted it, what requirements apply, where it sits in the queue, which printer received it, and how it ended.
Does Pluraprint replace our existing printers or firmware?
No. Pluraprint connects supported printers through on-site agents or vendor APIs and presents them in one fleet view. Your slicers, printer firmware, and vendor-specific machine controls remain part of the setup.
How long does it take to get started?
Setup starts with a site, an on-site agent where required, and at least one printer. After that, administrators configure users and roles, rules, quotas, notifications, stations, and optional modules as their workflow requires. The exact time depends on fleet size and deployment model.
How is Pluraprint priced?
Pluraprint is licensed per deployment. Pricing depends on the size of the operation and whether it is hosted, self-hosted, or air-gapped. Email hello@pluraprint.com with your fleet size and deployment requirements for a quote.
