The core of Make-Print's project management capabilities lies in its intuitive Kanban board, allowing users to create, assign, and track tasks and projects seamlessly. It supports the management of team members, files, and even specific machinery, providing a unified view of all project components. A key differentiator is its native 3D model viewer, which supports various formats like .stl, .step, .obj, and .gltf, enabling direct inspection and validation of parts within the browser, saving significant time on preliminary checks.
Collaboration is enhanced through a rich live chat feature, facilitating communication threads, team engagement, and client interactions around specific projects. Resource and inventory management are also simplified, with tools to browse and manage machine inventories (3D printers, CNCs) and add custom materials and color options. This ensures that all necessary operational resources are accounted for and easily accessible.
Make-Print leverages AI to empower operations by providing quick, real-time answers via AI chat, reducing the need to sift through project cards and boosting productivity. A standout AI feature is its automated quoting system, which accurately calculates customer order costs by analyzing 3D models, considering material expenses, design complexity, and shop-specific cost structures. This capability is invaluable for businesses in the custom manufacturing and 3D printing sectors.
The platform is designed for flexibility and user impact. As an open-source project, users can fork the repository to customize it for their specific shop needs or contribute to its development. Feature requests are actively encouraged through their Discord community, allowing users to directly influence the platform's evolution. For those seeking managed solutions or custom feature development, Make-Print offers professional services via email.
