3DPrinterOS is scaling its 3D printing cloud platform using Microsoft Azure as its operating platform, and has created new direct integrations with a number of leading CAD systems.

The move to Azure gives 3DPrinterOS customers access to the benefits of local data residency and redundancy, providing customers the assurance of a data failover. Database systems and other large data repositories can also have a backup and recovery site that meets the same criteria, the company says.3dPoS1

“We are extremely excited to collaborate with Microsoft Azure to serve our enterprise clients with its highly secure, hyper-scale global cloud,” said John Dogru, CEO of 3DPrinterOS. “It was a challenge to find the right company that had the cloud infrastructure, compliance, security, and reliability around the world, including countries like China and Europe.”

The company’s cloud-based platform provides integration with a variety of 3D printers and allows users to manage print jobs via the cloud and send prints to different notes on the network.

“The cloud is transforming entire industries and creating new opportunities for even the most innovative new businesses,” said Nicole Herskowitz, senior director of Microsoft Azure. “The market leading scale and speed of Microsoft Azure helps spur global growth opportunities for companies like 3DPrinterOS who are utilizing cloud computing and IoT connected devprinterosices in a completely new model of decentralized manufacturing.”

The company also has announced new native CAD-to-3D-print integrations with Siemens, Dassault Systemes, Autodesk and Onshape. Users can submit designs directly from CAD to the 3DPrinterOS cloud and route them to any available printer. According to the company, the integration should reduce the need for ad hoc file transfers between designers.

"We found enterprises were wasting a lot of time sending designs through emails, sharepoints, FTPs and deviating 3rd party systems,” said Anton Vedeshin, CTO at 3DPrinterOS. “3DPrinterOS deploys within 30 minutes and secures your entire AM manufacturing workflow, with an extremely easy-to-use platform that is highly scalable, while drastically reducing overhead. We are excited to enter more partnerships so we can provide all our enterprise users with a seamless CAD to real-time direct 3D print capabilities and end-to-end integrations with manufacturing execution systems.”

3DPrinterOS launched its cloud offerings roughly a year ago, and already has 12,000 users.
