MakerOS releases version 2.0 to sync 3D printing teams with their clients

MakerOS, a startup based in New York City and Detroit, launched a collaboration platform for 3D printing businesses back in 2015. Given the challenges 3D printing companies were facing when managing various client projects at the same time, the MakerOS team decided to launch an online platform that would allow employees and clients to communicate, submit projects, view updates, access files, invoices, and more, all on one secure dashboard. The ultimate aim of the platform is to improve client workflows and increase companies’ profits.

As the additive manufacturing market continues to mature, companies in this space are looking for more efficient solutions, which is why MakerOS is pushing to offer the latest tools to facilitate their work. Recently, the startup released version 2.0 of their collaboration platform for 3D printing and digital fabrication teams. What updates MakerOS released with version 2.0?

The startup explains that there are many tools necessary to manage the day-to-day operations of a 3D printing company, which is why providing all these tools under one platform brings a boost in efficiency. As mentioned, with the launch of its collaboration platform, MakerOS developed the tools to streamline all fabrication related activities. More precisely, the startup created an automated quoting system to price out new projects, a 3D viewer to analyse CAD files, a file hosting service to share and access files, an inventory management system to track parts, and an accounting system to execute billing and invoices. Communication between clients and employees is also facilitated thanks to the platform.
