FDM Foreman is the only platform that combines live printer monitoring, job queuing, cost tracking, order management, spool tracking, QC and white-labelling in one place. Built by print farm operators, for print farm operators.
Whether you want to be up in 5 minutes or own every bit of your data, we have a version for you.
We host it. You run it.
Your server. Your control.
Every other tool in the ecosystem was built to do one thing. You end up paying for five subscriptions and gluing them together with spreadsheets. That ends here.

Temperature, progress, webcam feed, time remaining — all live, all in one place. Spot a failed print the moment it happens. No more walking the floor every 20 minutes to check if something's gone wrong. FDM Foreman pings your printers every second so you're always first to know.
Drag jobs onto printers based on loaded material and colour. Set priorities. See exactly what's printing, what's next, and what's waiting. When a printer finishes, the next job is already assigned — zero idle time. No more "what should I print next?" decisions burning time on the shop floor.
Filament, electricity, depreciation, labour, packaging, postage — every cost tracked per job. See your profit margin per job, per printer, per material, per month. Export to PDF for your accountant. Stop guessing whether you're making money and start knowing exactly where every penny goes.
Track every spool — brand, material, colour, remaining weight, assigned printer. Get low-stock alerts before a spool runs out mid-job. Never finish a print with the wrong colour loaded because you forgot to check. Spoolman tracks spools in isolation. FDM Foreman connects them directly to your job queue and cost calculations.
Upload your logo, set your farm name, choose your accent colour. FDM Foreman disappears completely — your team, your customers, everyone sees your brand. No watermarks, no 'Powered by' banners, no competitor advertising on your own dashboard. Your farm. Your identity.
No bolt-ons. No extras. Every feature below is included in your plan.
Take orders, assign them to the queue, track from upload to dispatch with automatic customer notifications.
Customisable quality control checklist for every job before dispatch — build a quality record that proves your standards.
Set maintenance intervals per printer — nozzle changes, belt checks, bed levelling. Get overdue alerts before things break.
Plan morning, afternoon and overnight shifts. See exactly which jobs run on which shift and who's responsible.
Running printers across multiple sites? Manage your entire operation from a single dashboard, any location.
Add your team with role-based access. Operators, managers and owners each see exactly what they need.
Install on your phone from the browser — no app store needed. Check your farm from anywhere on iOS or Android.
Track filament suppliers — pricing, contacts, notes. One-click reorder emails when stock runs low.
A weekly 0–100 score based on job success rate, uptime, QC pass rate and dispatch speed. Know your farm's health at a glance.
STL files travel directly to your printers via our agent — they never touch our servers. Your designs stay yours, always.
Connect via our lightweight agent installed on each Pi in minutes. No firmware changes. No new boards.
Your printers already work exactly as they are. FDM Foreman connects on top — Klipper and Moonraker users get full telemetry and control; OctoPrint support is in active beta.
Start free. No credit card required. Scale as your farm grows. Flat rate — no per-printer fees. Ever.
All plans include a 14-day free trial. No credit card required. Cancel any time.
FDM Foreman runs the production floor at 83DCreate, an independent UK 3D printing business, every day.
Every order from eBay, TikTok and our own website shop goes straight into FDM Foreman, ready for us to allocate to a printer and job queue. That alone saves us a great deal of time. Everything is on one screen instead of flipping between each printer's dashboard.
We've also had far fewer failed prints, because the main dashboard shows all of our printers and their cameras, so we can watch prints live from any machine on our network.
We started on the cloud version and have since moved to the self-hosted version on our own in-house print server. It runs fantastically. I'd highly recommend it. It works with one printer all the way up to 99, so there's plenty of room to grow.
Everything you need to monitor, manage and grow your print farm — in one platform.
