Software.
We built Formfactories to run our own production floor. Now it runs other shops too — machine shops, service bureaus, and in-house labs, well beyond 3D printing.
What it does
Formfactories is project management software for 3D printing. Quoting, the project, the team, the customer, the machines, and the books — one system instead of six.
It fits two shapes of operation. Shops selling parts to customers, and companies supporting their own — an in-house shop making parts for the engineers down the hall. Same workflow either way; the difference is who the customer is.
We built it because nothing on the market did all of it well — and every job our floor runs still goes through it.
It runs as a cloud service — nothing to host or maintain on your side — and you can start for free before putting it in front of real jobs.
Capabilities
Technology-based pricing across every process you run. Customers drag a file in and check out without waiting on you.
Design revisions, machine build files, part counts, and production stages tracked per project — instead of in somebody’s inbox.
To-do lists and notifications tied to the job, so the floor and the front desk read the same board.
Customers ask in context rather than down an email thread. Status updates and paperwork go out on their own.
Time-stamped machine logs, scheduled maintenance, and inventory management — the records you want when a part comes back.
Fully automated paperwork, with Stripe, QuickBooks, and Zoho integrations.
Built by people who run a print shop
Formfactories isn't a side project — it's the operating system of our own floor. Every feature exists because we needed it ourselves. When you have a question about how it should work, the answer comes from someone who's printed thousands of orders.

It runs our production floor every day — and floors that look nothing like ours. Start free, or request a demo.
