FarmFlow
Air-Gapped ERP for 3D Printing Farms
Problem
3D printer farms are losing money on unseen costs
SaaS Tax
$400+/month for software that doesn't work offline. $24,000+ in 5 years.
No cost visibility
Operators do not know how much one print costs (electricity, depreciation, QC, packaging).
Cloud Dependency
Internet failure = production stop. Customer data on other people's servers.
Excel Hell
Manage 50+ sheetfed printers. No automation, no OEE.
Solution
Complete ERP built from scratch for 3D printer farms
Air-Gapped Architecture
Zero network dependencies. SQLite locally. Rust + Tauri = 20MB installer.
9-Component Costing Engine
Electricity, filament, work, amortization, setup, post-processing, QC, packaging, overhead.
Fleet Management + OEE
LAN monitoring (OctoPrint/Klipper/Bambu MQTT). Scheduler with LPT/EDF algorithms.
WMS accurate to the gram
Weighted-average cost. Automatic material collection. Reorder points.
24 Production Modules
Market
The global 3D printing market is growing 20%+ CAGR
Business Model
CAPEX vs SaaS - why single license wins
Cloud SaaS (competition)
- Vendor lock-in
- Data on someone else's server
- Downtime = stop production
- $24,000+ / 5 years
FarmFlow CAPEX
- Lifetime license
- 100% offline, your data
- Zero downtime
- ROI in 25 months
