MatterControl Touch can work on any 3D printer equipped with a USB cable. Once the initial setup is complete, the printer is complete autonomous and does not require connection to a computer. From the web, users can send and receive printable designs and download models.
The program comes with configurations for over 40 different 3D models. File preparation can be completed with MatterSlice, which supports model generation and integrated slicing. The company has stated that an embedded version of the platform is in the works.
