Form3D, UX/UI Design [2025]
Form3D’s enterprise-grade printer management platform addresses the challenges of operating a large-scale 3D printing fleet across multiple industrial locations. The design focused on simplifying complex workflows, including onboarding and configuring devices, managing large-order print jobs, troubleshooting, and maintaining operational oversight, while supporting scalable role-based access and IoT-style printer grouping. The platform was conceived to provide a seamless cross-device experience, balancing mobile and desktop functionality with the operational needs of a technical workforce.
The project also explored system-level efficiency and error reduction through workflow modeling, automation of recurring tasks, and clear visualization of printer ecosystems. By translating intricate hardware and software interactions into an intuitive interface, the platform supports future growth, facilitates rapid adoption across teams, and reduces operational friction for large-scale industrial printing operations.
