The 3d printing industry has matured but the underlying processes have not -- manufacturers waste hours in front of spreadsheets and programs planning production for their facility. The lack of quality software to streamline these processes lead to production delays, machine failures, improper load balancing, etc. Printnet3D is building a software production solution that will allow for dynamic scheduling, predictive maintenance, and load balancing. Though there are a few software tools that exist for 3d printing, most of the planning still has to be done by hand and/or doublechecked by a supervisor. Printnet3D's software will be an algorithm that acts independently and precisely, saving time and energy for 3d printing manufacturers. Most print jobs -- outside of companies like ICON that print the same type of item over and over again for their core business -- are outsourced to print manufacturing sites. These sites are Printnet3D's customers. Business Model: - $19.99/printer/month (for smaller scale professional 3d printers) - $289/industrial printer - Load balancing: Would take 10-25% of an interchange fee though access to the marketplace would be free
