Keep customer parts, printer commitments and finishing work connected across a busy print shop.
Keep model attachments and physical build evidence recognizable as prototype work changes hands.
Coordinate repeat part orders with material lots, operator output and a clear lot disposition.
Each stage of customer order to reviewed print lot names the role that acts and the status it records, so a change is never anonymous.

Click Get started, then use Proto to configure 3D Printing Job Manager for your business. Begin with a customer order, a familiar printer and material lot, then rehearse release, material posting, output recording and finishing review.
Keep the model attachment, printer, material, layer height and estimated hours with the build. Link the work order for customer production so finishing staff can follow the same run.
The Production Planner prepares the work order and requests release. The release action checks the linked order, quantity, resource availability and schedule before eligible work becomes Released.
Keep its resource state current as Maintenance or Unavailable. The planner reviews a rejected release, corrects the assignment or schedule and requests release again through the agreed process.
Post a material issue against its item and lot. Reversing that posted issue restores its stock effect once. Rehearse posting and reversal retries with a known balance before live use.
Ending a valid production interval routes an eligible released or in-progress work order into quality review. The reviewer still checks the finishing evidence and remaining work before the planner records the lot and job outcome.
Yes. Assign support removal, washing, curing or sanding to a shop person against the build. The operator records completion and a result that the next person can understand.
Purchase lines retain ordered and received quantities. The planner follows the outstanding amount and checks the agreed receipt conditions before marking the supplier order Received. Set up the incoming-stock handoff separately.
The Quality Reviewer examines production and finishing evidence. The Production Planner records the lot as Pending, Released, Held or Rejected under the team's review procedure and maintains the work-order outcome.
Agree connections or operating procedures with the systems that own model preparation, slicing and dispatch. Use the connections page to define the records and responsibilities for the pilot.
Start free, then use Proto to change fields, steps and approvals before your team goes live.
