3DPrinterOS is one of the originals in cloud 3D-printer management, and it shows in the best way: it's deeply embedded in universities, school districts, enterprises and government labs, with mature role-based access, per-user billing, SAML SSO and API-enabled LMS integration. If you're an institution that needs that governance layer, it's a serious, proven platform, and it has kept shipping (native Bambu H-series support landed in 2025).
What's changed is that you no longer have to trade modern features or transparent pricing to get that. SimplyPrint matches the fleet management, RBAC, SSO and education depth, then adds the things 3DPrinterOS doesn't, native support for today's printers, AutoPrint continuous printing, an AI bed-check, NFC filament inventory and label printing, a maintenance system, maintained native apps, and EU data residency, with prices you can read on the page for both farms and schools. Here's a fair, side-by-side look.
Compare 3DPrinterOS vs SimplyPrint for:
For a school or university, SimplyPrint brings a classroom-native education plan - classes and teachers, an Academy, quotas, approval and district SSO, all publicly priced - plus native modern hardware, an AI bed-check, NFC filament and EU data residency.
3DPrinterOS brings a deeper university install base and mature governance; its LMS integration is API-enabled rather than a pre-built Canvas/Moodle connector. For most schools, SimplyPrint is the more modern, more transparent fit.
For schools and universities: transparent education pricing vs a quote-only license.

3DPrinterOS Education is quote-only and the quotes we've seen vary; figures indicative, June 2026.
Both are real education platforms. SimplyPrint is built around the classroom - a dedicated, publicly-priced education plan with classes, teachers, an Academy and assignments; 3DPrinterOS brings a longer university track record and API-enabled LMS integration.
Both platforms run a broad fleet, slice in the cloud and do AI failure detection. Where SimplyPrint pulls ahead is continuous-printing automation, physical filament workflows, and a maintained, modern product.
This is a capable, veteran platform, and in a few areas its head start is real. Credit where it's due:
For a print farm, both run a broad fleet and slice in the cloud.
SimplyPrint pulls ahead on continuous-printing automation (AutoPrint), an AI bed-check, NFC filament with label printing, a maintenance system and flat, volume-discounted pricing, on an actively-maintained product. 3DPrinterOS charges per printer with no volume break.
For print farms: flat, volume-discounted pricing vs linear per-printer billing.

For an institution, 3DPrinterOS's long university and government track record and mature RBAC are a genuine strength.
SimplyPrint matches the roles and SSO depth (with on-prem available on request), publishes its Enterprise pricing, and is more modern everywhere else: AutoPrint, an AI bed-check, NFC filament, maintained native apps and EU data residency.
For institutions: published Enterprise pricing and on-prem vs a quote-only platform.

Nothing is black-and-white, and there are always pros and cons to consider when choosing a 3D printing cloud solution!
And we're not here to simply tell you, that SimplyPrint is the best - we want you to make an informed decision, and of course there are pros of using 3DPrinterOS as well!

Kontakt os, hvis du mener, at vi har lavet en fejl i vores sammenligning!
Vi lavede SimplyPrint på grund af det faktum, at intet andet på markedet helt passede til vores behov. Vi ønskede en platform, der var nem at bruge, men som stadig havde alle de funktioner, vi havde brug for. Vi ønskede en funktionsrig platform, intuitiv og nem at bruge, med en fantastisk brugeroplevelse og faktisk innovation inden for softwareområdet til 3D-printstyring.
Så, som konklusion mener vi - ydmyge og upartiske som vi er 😉 - at SimplyPrint-platformen er et godt alternativ til 3DPrinterOS!
