Automate order tracking, inventory management, and job pricing in one platform — for less than a spool of filament.
Built for solo operators, small studios, and large-scale print houses alike.
Running a 3D printing business is hard enough without juggling spreadsheets, manual calculations, and inventory tracking. That's where 3D-Pi comes in.
Purpose-built for 3D printing operations.
FEATURE 01 // ORDER TRACKING
Stop tracking custom client orders on random spreadsheets. Move every job through a structured, 5-stage production pipeline engineered around the actual physical workflow of 3D businesses of all sizes.
Every order moves through Pending → Printing → Post Processing → Fulfilled → Shipped — advance any job with a single click.
Break each order into item frames with their own print time, filament assignments, consumables, quantity, and optional custom price override.
Upload a G-code file and 3D-Pi auto-extracts print time and filament weight — then generate a branded PDF quote in one click.
Connect your Shopify store and 3D-Pi automatically scans your product catalog — every order placed on Shopify is instantly created as a production job, ready to manage.

FEATURE 02 // INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Stop manually tracking filament weights in spreadsheets. 3D-Pi maintains a live inventory of every spool across your operation, deducting grams automatically as print jobs complete—with full audit history and low-stock alerts built in.
Every spool is tracked by material, brand, color, initial weight, and live remaining grams — an exact picture of your shelves at all times.
The moment a job transitions from Printing to Post Processing, 3D-Pi deducts the exact grams from each assigned spool — zero manual entry required.
Live KPI cards show total stock value, filament on hand, and monthly consumption — alerts fire before you run out, not after.
Glue sticks, sandpaper, chemicals — tracked and auto-deducted the same way, with a full timestamped change log exportable as CSV.
FEATURE 03 // PRICING ENGINE
Stop guessing. 3D-Pi's deterministic pricing engine factors in your electricity, machine ROI, labor, overhead, and failure risk — so every quote covers your real costs and hits your margin.
Set your kWh rate, printer count, machine acquisition cost, recovery timeline, and monthly overheads once — 3D-Pi handles the math on every job from there.
A configurable failure percentage protects your margin when prints fail, and your target profit margin is applied on top of the full cost stack automatically.
See material cost, time & labor, failure risk, and profit margin update in real time as you add frames — the final saved receipt is always identical to the preview.
Override the calculated price on any individual frame for negotiated jobs without breaking the formula for the rest of the order.
FEATURE 04 // ANALYTICS
Stop guessing whether your operation is growing. 3D-Pi's analytics dashboard gives you a real-time view of revenue, order volume, and material consumption — no exports, no manual tallying.
Live KPI cards update in real time — today's revenue, total orders, material used, and active jobs, all in one glance.
Visual bar charts track your monthly revenue over time so you can spot growth patterns and plan capacity ahead.
See exactly which materials are consuming the most filament across your operation each month.
Track how many orders you're taking on, completing, and shipping each month to measure operational throughput.
FEATURE 05 // TEAM & ACCESS
Add your entire team to 3D-Pi and control exactly what each person can see and do. Roles keep your business data secure without slowing your operators down.
Invite as many team members as your operation needs — all included in your subscription at no extra cost.
Three clearly defined roles give you precise control over who can access what inside your organization.
Operators see the order queue and status controls — nothing else. Production keeps moving without exposing your financials.
Pricing configuration, inventory analytics, and business settings stay locked to Owners and Admins only.
Real feedback from print farm owners, studio managers, and operations leads who replaced their manual workflows with 3D-Pi.
3D-Pi fundamentally changed how we operate. The automatic filament deduction means our inventory is always accurate without any manual entry — a huge win for a farm running 20 printers continuously. We caught three near-stockouts in the first two weeks alone.
Before 3D-Pi, pricing each job was a 15-minute calculation in Excel. Now the moment I add a frame with its print time and materials, I have an accurate price with our electricity rate, machine ROI, and full overhead baked in. What used to take 15 minutes takes 30 seconds.
The role-based access control is exactly what we needed as we scaled from 2 to 8 people. Operators see the order queue and their status buttons — that's it. Financials and analytics stay locked to management. That separation was a dealbreaker we couldn't find anywhere else.

Everything you need to know before getting started with 3D-Pi.
Yes — 3D-Pi supports unlimited team members on every plan. You can invite your entire team and assign each person a role: Owner, Admin, or Operator.
Operators see only the order queue and their status controls — nothing else. Admins and Owners have full access to inventory, pricing configuration, analytics, and settings. This keeps your financials and business data where they belong — with management.
Yes — 3D-Pi connects directly to your Shopify store. Once connected, 3D-Pi automatically scans your product catalog and imports new orders as production jobs the moment they are placed.
Each Shopify order becomes a trackable job in your 5-stage pipeline, ready to manage — no manual re-entry of customer details or product information required.
3D-Pi automatically updates your filament inventory as production progresses.
When an order moves from the "Printing" stage to "Post Processing," the system deducts the exact amount of filament used for that print from your inventory balances.
Each item frame stores:
Once the print is completed, 3D-Pi uses those values to automatically update your live inventory levels — helping ensure your stock counts stay accurate without requiring manual tracking.
This workflow mirrors how real 3D printing operations function, where material is consumed during the printing process itself, regardless of when the final product is shipped.
3D-Pi's pricing engine is designed specifically for real-world 3D printing businesses — not generic e-commerce pricing.
The system calculates quotes using the actual operational costs of your print farm, including:
You fully configure these values based on your own operation, allowing 3D-Pi to generate pricing that reflects how your business actually runs.
The live quote preview shown while building an order is the exact same calculation used for saved receipts and generated PDFs, ensuring pricing consistency from start to finish.
The goal is simple: help you avoid underpricing your work while maintaining predictable and profitable quoting.
Yes — 3D-Pi supports both resin-based and filament-based 3D printing workflows.
The inventory system supports materials such as:
The pricing engine calculates costs based on the amount of material consumed and your configured material pricing, allowing it to work seamlessly across both FDM and resin printing operations.
Resin inventory can be tracked, deducted automatically, and included in pricing calculations just like traditional filament materials.
