All-in-one 3D Printing software·buildbee.com

BuildBee is a cloud-based 3D printing platform that lets users upload, slice, queue, share, monitor and manage a fleet of 3D printers from any device, anywhere. It includes a built-in cloud slicer, model repair tools, printer queue management, live video monitoring, and group/user management for makerspaces, schools and enterprises. A companion BuildBee Desktop app (Windows/Mac) connects local printers to the cloud, and an optional CloudDock hardware add-on enables wireless connectivity.
