3D printing consultancy platform, MakerOS has made available the 1.0 release of its cloud business management tool for 3D printing, design and light fabrication services.

During the year-long Public Beta testing run, more than 1,500 services from around the world signed up. The collection of 3D printing services alone have produced more than ten thousand parts for the system users.

The launch of this new tool comes as additive manufacturing continues to grow and expand into new industries. MakerOS feels its new service will assist companies as they look to adopt 3D technology.

Mike Moceri, Founder and CEO of MakerOS, commented: “This milestone is not just a testament to dialling in our product/ market fit, but to the increasingly growing need for centralised systems for the next generation of global manufacturing and custom digital services.”

Allowing professional service providers to complete projects 10 times faster, save thousands on third party software, and maintain a workable pipeline of client projects for increased revenue, MakerOS’ platform represents an effective tool for manufacturers. The white-label platform offers these capabilities by combining typically segmented systems, like payment processing for example, and inventory. Also boasting a user-friendly interface, it can be used on any device for employees and clients of the service provider to interact and complete projects together.

The Detroit-based company is confident its clients can expand their production, design, and other capabilities by sharing projects with other suppliers for white-label fulfilment, all the while staying in control of their customer relations. Companies can share work using the MakerOS Overflow supply chain service option. This means, if a company does not have the particular technologies needed to complete a project, they can simply ‘Overflow’ this project with MakerOS’ vetted list of service providers to assist with certain aspects of the task.

Roboto.NYC has already seen the financial benefits of using the MakerOS platform, netting thousands of dollars in Q1 of 2017. According to MakerOS, Roboto.NYC, a newly-launched light fabrication, design, and engineering service within the Brooklyn Navy Yard, has raised this money by utilising the MakerOS integration with their website and Overflow services.

Aljosa Kemperle, Roboto.NYC Co-Founder said: “We made the key decision to integrate MakerOS within our website and participate in the Overflow service option, to scale our business faster and maintain a consistent pipeline of high value jobs.”
