Additive manufacturing can be challenging, but OTTO makes it easy to offer quality 3D print manufacturing to your customer base—and without having to invest enormous amounts of precious capital on hardware, large inventories of materials, or extensive training programs for employees.

Automate 3D Printing and Manage 3D Orders

Shapeways began developing OTTO nearly a decade ago due to a rapidly accelerating customer base and the need for one software solution to manage all the company’s own manufacturing needs and automate 3D printing. Boosting production and outperforming initial expectations, OTTO serves as one of the main forces driving Shapeways to 3D print over 21 million parts so far.

Ultimately, OTTO is a sophisticated 3D print management software that automates ordering and eliminates the need to rely on basic paperwork or a melee of different software programs patchworked together for taking and fulfilling orders.

Leveraging the Advantages of Manufacturing with OTTO

The realization there was not another dedicated, similar solution became quickly apparent as OTTO advanced in development, refinement, and use. It also became clear that other 3D print manufacturers could enjoy leveraging the power of OTTO too, taking advantage of a cohesive program for production and delivery of customized parts. 

Manufacturing partners like BASF, MarkeTiger, DSM, and Henkel helped shape OTTO into the manufacturing enterprise solutions it is today.
