Bambu Lab Introduces free software to manage an unlimited number of 3D printers simultaneously — cloud-free LAN Mode Print Farm Manager program simplifies mass 3D printing -

Today, Bambu Lab released free software to manage your 3D print farm without needing the Cloud or any third-party services. Called Bambu Farm Manager, the software can control an unlimited number of X1 Carbon 3D printers, as well as machines from the P1 and A1 lineups. By Q3, the company will have the system working for the X1E, and the H2D will be ready by Q4.

Bambu Lab said in a press release that its goal is to provide a system with privacy, control, and simplicity in mind. “This setup appeals to print farms, businesses, educators, and institutions with strict IT policies or data protection requirements, as well as makers who simply want more control over their setup.”

A blog post on Bambu Lab’s website outlined how the system could solve data security and privacy issues for professional users who need to keep their models away from prying eyes. They present beta tester Korneel Bullens, who has managed a print farm in the Netherlands for over a decade, as a typical user. He has clients who need proof that their files never leave the building, require NDAs, all while being GDPR compliant.
