Managing 3d printing resources is tough 

Having a shared resource like a 3d printer is hard for many smaller organisations to manage. How do you bill for materials. How do you give people access and training to use the machines.

Autodrop3d is ideal for schools and institutions. More and more 3D printing is being used in middle school, high school, and college curricula .

Tracking Materials

Making sure you know who is printing and what departments or individuals to charge is hard. Autodrop3d's queue tracks how much material is used for each job and who requested it. 

Billing Management

Billing can be turned on for your organisation and locations can be marked as public allowing any one to send jobs to your 3d printers. Credit card processing happens in a safe secure way and allows you to charge for prints based on qty of material used. Organisations can set thse cost numbers them selves or use our recommend numbers. 

​For makerspaces and libraries this opens up new revenue opportunities. 

Moderate Print Queue

​Organizations can enable print queue moderation to make sure that items being 3d printed are appropriate. Items can be added to the queue by users and the queue admins can approve jobs with a thumbnail preview and information about size and qty of material needed. 

Autonomous Printers

Machines that remove parts automatically reduce overall operation expenses. 

No one has to baby sit the machine and removal of parts. 

One of the most common reasons for 3d printers being taken out of commission is improper removal of 3d printed objects by inexperienced users. Removing objects from a 3d printer with razor blades or paint scrapers is dangerous. Our technology takes care of this for you so you can focus on whats important. Making.
