3D Printing Project Planner

From "I have an idea" to "delivered to client" - step by step

Got a project and no idea how to plan it? How long will it take? How much will it cost? Which printers will you use? This planner walks you from concept to delivery with templates, timeline, budget estimate and a checkpoint list.

Available with the Pro plan (15 EUR per month). The printed book includes 3 months of Pro.

Key features

Templates by project type

Prototype, small batch, dental, jewelry, toys, tooling, education. Each template with typical timeline and checkpoints.

Timeline

Auto-computed from your declared parameters - print time, post-processing, delivery. With buffer for mistakes.

Budget

Material, depreciation, labor, delivery, profit. Integration with Price Calculator and Depreciation Calc.

Checkpoint list

For each phase - what must be ready before you move on. No skipped steps.

Team sharing

Workspace canvas - multiplayer. Client can see progress in realtime (optional).

How it works

  1. 1Pick a template (prototype/dental/small batch/etc.) or start from scratch.
  2. 2Fill key parameters - volume, deadline, material type, part count.
  3. 3System generates timeline with checkpoints, budget, resources.
