Control and grow your small-to-mid 3D printing business with all-in-one easy to use management system

3DPBOSS is an online software system, that covers all, a 3dp business owner will need to manage his or her shop + Bonuses
It is built on a Notion no-code environment.
The main (Notion) part consists of a set of interconnected databases (main tech), visualized with a set of views, which are presented on a number of dashboards for you to choose from (including role-specific dashboards for the team). All of those are equipped with auto-filling templates and buttons.
Views, dashboards, templates, and buttons are easily customizable. We show how to do that (among other things) in our InfoHUB.
Databases will require a bit of learning to modify, but it is doable for anyone and requires no coding. If you dont want to learn it, and dont want our help, there are a lot of Notion experts available. A comprehensive set of documents, we provide with the system will tell an expert can how the system works and he or she will be able to change it.

For small-to-mid 3d printing businesses, services, and job shops, that do custom orders or Products (Products may require a little tweak). From 1 to about 30 people. Equipped with any number of “desktop” and semi-professional FDM, SLA-DLP, etc. 3d printers.
If it isn't you, the fit will depend on the business structure and type of operations. Different machine types (CNC, Laser cutters, etc.) and processes can be added.

If we had a system like that when we started, we would've achieved much more, much faster. It has the Instruments and knowledge needed to establish a profitable system-based business and successfully run it.
All the functionality is fully applicable for solopreneurs, for whom we have a dashboard and onboarding paths.
And when there are more people on a team, the transition to teamwork will be seamless.
Do it the right way from the beginning, save a lot of time and effort, and achieve more.

In our case (see the story here), the raw prototype helped to increase annual rev by 23%. The refined version helped to facilitate 1.72x in rev and 2.5x team annual growth and allowed us to sell the company.
In your case, there is no honest direct answer, since it depends on many things, including those beyond the system, Nonetheless, you may expect to:

• Increase your conversion and revenue as a result of systematic work with CRM (you can close up to 30% more sales just with a persistent follow-up process, what we have in the module). You will be able to see what type of clients (source, industry) you should concentrate on, and If you apply price-defining and client-working strategies that we share in our Bonus doc, it may have both short and long-term positive effects on your rev and margin, and business in general;
• Produce more, by reducing equipment downtime, repairs, defects, and effective planning;
• To do more per unit of time, with fewer resources, by controlling the schedule for the team (even if it is a team of one), and reducing waste: all info in one place, everyone aligned, orders, jobs, repairs, tasks, and payments planned out and assigned;
• Save, by analyzing procurements and costs, detecting unnecessary spending, and seeing what you can buy with discounts in bulk.

All specific experience and knowledge that you will gather (literally) and reuse all established and refined processes, and all data-driven decisions you will make will increase production output, and the quality of your services, making them more niche, so you will be able to charge more, with less competition.
All of it will compound into a stable growth foundation, which will only increase the longer you are doing it.

It is a one-time payment for the whole system + Bonuses (there is also a Free version). You will find prices below.
3DPBOSS is designed to be fully functional on Notion’s robust free plan. You will only have to pay (from $8/month) if more than 10 people are working in the system, or if you want more storage space built in (free limit - up to 5 MB, first paid tier - unlimited).

We created personalized dashboards and quick-start onboarding paths for solopreneurs and teams of different sizes. And gathered and categorized detailed instructions about everything in one place, so you will not be left in the dark.
It can take from 30 minutes to a few hours to get familiar with the the system, and from 3-5 hours to 3-5 days to fully harness all the power (+ time to customization if you need it).
All the estimations are approximate and fully depend on your commitment and type of business: how many people, equipment, materials, what are the processes, etc.
If you want it to be done ASAP, most effectively, and customized for your processes, you can get our assistance at info@3dpboss.com.
However long it may take, we guarantee, that you will end up saving time by using the system.

There are no limits.

We believe it to be easier and more intuitive to work with than other systems of that kind. Personalized quick onboarding paths and a comprehensive instructions set will make it even easier.
We guarantee, that you will end up saving time by using 3DPBOSS.

Yes, we've created a сomprehensive set of instructions about the system in general (its structure, design, functions), and all functional elements, and workflows,
+ Personalized quick-start onboarding paths for solopreneurs and teams of different sizes;
+ Security and access instructions;
+ Customization instructions;
+ a Bonus paper with сondensed 10-year of experience from running a 3d printing business, in the form of practical advice on what and how to do, to make it worthwhile.

Yes, it is fully accessible from mobile, both as a browser version and as an app. We also added special mobile views for jobs and tasks to make workflows even more seamless.

Yes, it is fully online.

Since it is not connected to printers, any “desktop” and semi-professional FDM, SLA-DLP 3d printer will work great.
Other printer types and classes that use different technologies (SLS e.g.) can also be used but may require system adjustments to be correctly built-in and accounted for (margin calculation, material usage, etc.).

3DPBOSS does not connect to printers directly and does not provide any slicing or modeling capabilities. But it does help to manage an unlimited number of printers (almost any type) and leverage any slicing/modeling software there is.
There are so many different slicing/modeling software options, and we see no point in being locked with a built-in one.
Not all printers can be connected to the cloud, and many of those that can (as practice shows) may require a lot of “manual adjustments” before and right after the start, to get a stable outcome (especially when printing large/long prints).

Yes. Book a call to learn more.

The whole system can be redone, within the limitations of the Notion and Google Sheets environments. The list of possibilities is pretty long, and if you add automation tools like Make or Zapier, it becomes even more extensive.
You will be able to adjust the system fully. We know that business is constantly changing, and our system accounts for that.
Core functionality will require a bit of learning to modify, but it is doable for anyone and requires no coding.

On a free tier (which this system is designed to work on), there is a 5 MB upload limit (on the first paid tier it is unlimited).
We advise creating a cloud drive folder, with the following hierarchy: Year, Month, Order name-number, store models and sliced files in that folder and provide a link to it in the order page (or even link each slice to each job, if you need it so).

This simple and adjustable “App” we made for internal use. It is made on Google Sheets, and allows to:

• Calculate the printing price for any 3d printer and material based on the cost of 1 hour, 1 unit of material, and the order volume;
• Collect calculations in a database, for later accurate parameter-dependent volume-based calculations (we used those for big orders);
• Connect calculations to CRM, so everyone can see what exactly (infill, layer, shell thickness, printer, material, prices for modeling, post-processing, discount) was proposed to the client.

How does it work: manually put time and weight (provided by slicing software) into needed fields, select printer and material from lists, add discount if needed, and get the volume-based price (we provide full explanation and pricing advice in the manual). There are also cells for modeling, post-processing prices, and the SUM.
It does not calculate the price automatically upon model download.
Online quotation tools may come in handy if you need to calculate prices for simple models (but even those can be tricky) or for industrial-grade machines/materials, based on volume (cm3). But, as our 10-year experience shows, when it comes to a calculation for technologies that have different infill, walls, and support options (FDM, SLA, DLP…) there are just too many nuances that may affect the price and printability (especially true for big models, and for batches). In those cases, online-quoting tools may become useless, or even harmful.
Also, a lot of customers may have incorrect models, models of different formats, or don't have them at all.

There are a number of built-in integrations (Slack, Google Drive…), and a lot more accessible through Zapier or Make. There is also an API available.

If used, it will create much more value than its cost. It's a one-time payment (no subscription) for an all-in-one management solution tailored for a specific type of business, created by people who ran that type of business for 10 years. We also share that experience as a note with general and tactical pro tips for finding your niche, efficient production, higher lead conversion, correct pricing, and more. That information alone is worth more than the whole system costs.
Subscription fees even for a year for a set of tools that will cover such functionality (not to mention customizations if they are possible), will cost much more.
So we believe it to be a steal for the price.

Notion’s policy is here, it is as good as any other big company’s, with the difference, being that Notion does not sell or share your personal information.
We also designed special Security and Backup practices to use while working in 3DPBOSS, they are included even in a free version.

You will receive an e-mail with a link and instructions. Everything is pretty straightforward and will take less than 2 min.
After that, you will be guided forward to your personalilized onboarding path, where everything will be explained.

When you pay you instantly receive a link, with the whole thing (system, additional apps, and bonuses), and you can’t “unhave” it (we can’t take it back).
So there is no refund. If in doubt, try the free version.

There are 2 possible types of problems:

• Notion-platform problems (shall be addressed with Notion), which usually go away by themselves in a couple of days;
• 3DPBOSS problems - if something is not working as it should, or gets broken, in this case - email us at info@3dpboss.com with a description and screenshot (or a Loom video).

You will receive a notification via e-mail when an update to your version is available.
There will be a link and an instruction on how to install it into your system. You will have to do it by hand, but you will be in control of what to add, and what don't. Simultaneously you will learn how the tech part of the system works and will be able to change it yourself.
You will also be able to look for all available updates through the link in the footer of the system.
