3DOS, a manufacturing innovator, announced it will integrate its expansive 3D printing network with Sui. This integration enables users, 3D printers, and manufacturers to connect across a global, accessible, decentralized network. 

Unlocking the full power of decentralized 3D printing depends on precise, real-time coordination. Acting as the universal coordination layer, Sui synchronizes users, 3D printers, and manufacturers into an efficient, unified network. By orchestrating these interactions, Sui ensures that production resources and manufacturing needs align perfectly in real time.

The 3DOS vision

As it builds the world's largest peer-to-peer 3D printing network, the 3DOS vision allows anyone to access 3D printers anywhere in the world, with Sui acting as a coordination layer, so products are made on-demand locally: no waste, no inventory, no international shipping. 

Through its technology and integration with Sui, 3DOS will revolutionize manufacturing. The expansion of this domain and the increase in accessibility has the potential to transform the manufacturing industry and empower local economies worldwide.

  • Billions of people around the world rely on manufactured products.
  • Millions of businesses use and pay for manufacturing capacity globally.
  • Coordination is a huge problem with high latency and large costs.
  • The $15.6 trillion global manufacturing market is shifting to decentralized localized production.
  • Together, Sui and 3DOS address these challenges by streamlining coordination, reducing costs, and coordinating decentralized production

The collaboration between Sui and 3DOS decentralizes the $15.6 trillion manufacturing market, using Sui’s coordination technology to empower local producers. By connecting idle 3D manufacturing capacity to millions of users globally, 3DOS allows individuals to tap into the broader manufacturing market and even create new opportunities in areas where traditional manufacturing is impractical or unfeasible.  

3DOS' founders invented one of the world's first 3D printing operating systems, with over 500,000 users, 4.2 million parts, over 15 million CAD designs, manufactured across more than 120 countries with customers such as John Deere, Google, MIT, Harvard, CalTech, Berkeley, Bosch, the British Army, US Navy, US Air Force, and NASA. 

Powering decentralized manufacturing

The partnership between 3DOS and Sui marks a significant step towards realizing the vision of one-click manufacturing, where anyone can upload a design and manufacture it globally. As the world moves towards decentralized production and accessible finance, the collaboration promises to unlock unprecedented opportunities for innovation and economic empowerment.
