Research & Labs
Keep the print with the research record.
Store the sliced file, print details, approvals, machine history, and outcome together, with deployment options for networks that can't use a hosted service.
What gets difficult
A finished part doesn't explain how it was made.
The useful context is usually spread across a slicer, a shared drive, the printer, and someone's notes. Months later, rebuilding that history can be difficult.
Unprotected IP
Proprietary designs and pre-publication work may have storage or network restrictions that ordinary file-sharing tools don't meet.
Lost reproducibility
If the file, parsed print settings, material, and printer outcome aren't kept together, recreating a result becomes guesswork.
No chain of custody
Shared accounts and informal approvals make it hard to show who submitted, reviewed, or changed a job.
How Pluraprint helps
Keep the operational record in one place.
Pluraprint connects the submitted file to its requirements, decisions, printer events, reprints, and final outcome. Access follows the roles you configure.
End-to-end traceability
Each job keeps its requester, parsed print details, material requirements, approvals, printer events, and outcome.
Reproducible parameters
Use the original sliced file and job history when you need to inspect or repeat a print later.
Granular access control
Build roles from individual permissions and connect an identity provider through SSO when accounts are managed centrally.
Tamper-evident audit trail
Important configuration, permission, and approval changes are timestamped and attributed in the audit log.
Offline & air-gapped
Run behind your firewall or on an isolated network with no dependency on the public internet.
Encrypted storage and connections
Uploaded files are encrypted at rest, service connections use TLS, and sensitive credentials are encrypted separately.
Things to plan for
Questions to settle with security and IT.
Data sovereignty
Choose hosted, self-hosted, or air-gapped deployment based on where files and records are allowed to live.
Access governance
Define who may submit, review, administer, or view records, and how those accounts are provisioned and removed.
Audit & compliance
Identify which administrative and job decisions reviewers need to attribute later, and how long those records must be kept.
Reproducibility
Decide which sliced files, parsed settings, materials, and outcomes belong with the research record.
Walk through your deployment requirements.
Tell us where files may be stored, how researchers sign in, and what history must be retained. We'll use those constraints in the demo.
