This brings together two critical halves of the 3D printing workflow – production automation and material intelligence – into a single, seamless experience.
Printago, a fast-growing leader in cloud-based 3D print farm automation, and Filametrics, the leading filament intelligence and inventory-tracking platform, announced an exclusive strategic partnership to create the industry’s first end-to-end ecosystem for managing high-volume additive manufacturing operations.
The integration brings together two critical halves of the 3D printing workflow – production automation and material intelligence – into a single, seamless experience. For the first time, print farms of any size will have real-time filament telemetry directly powering automated job routing, advancing the industry toward true lights-out 3D printing.

A First-of-Its-Kind Integration for Modern Print Farms
While existing print-management software can coordinate multiple printers, they often operate separately from material tracking, forcing operators to manage filament levels manually or through disconnected tools.
Through this partnership, filament intelligence becomes a real-time driver of production efficiency – unlocking higher throughput, lower waste, and unprecedented operational insight.”
— Aaron Nichols
The Printago × Filametrics exclusive partnership solves that fragmentation by connecting real-time material data to real-time production logic.
Key capabilities include:
Smart Job Routing Powered by Filament Data
Printago automatically assigns print jobs based on actual spool levels, material type, and consumption forecasting from Filametrics.
End-to-End Workflow Automation
From job intake → routing → printer assignment → material availability → completion reporting, the entire lifecycle is now unified.
Real-Time Filament Telemetry
Filametrics delivers live spool data – including remaining weight, usage rate, and material compatibility – directly into Printago’s cloud system.
Downtime Reduction & Predictive Alerts
Automated low-material alerts, job rescheduling, and pre-emptive stockout protection eliminate unexpected failures and idle machines.
Unified Interface for Full Operational Visibility
Operators gain one interface for printers, jobs, materials, and reporting – no switching between apps or spreadsheets.
Scalable for Any Operation
Whether running 3 printers or 300, the integrated platform offers production-grade automation without production-grade overhead.
A Shared Vision for the Future of Automated 3D Printing
“We built Printago to handle the tedious operational work so people can actually run their business.” said Matt Pavelko, Co-Founder Printago, “Connecting with Filametrics means their material tracking is now automatic and will drive real automation – job routing, queue optimization, all the stuff that usually requires constant manual oversight.”
“Material data has been the missing link in print-farm automation,” said Aaron Nichols, Chief Executive Officer of Filametrics.
“Through this partnership, filament intelligence becomes a real-time driver of production efficiency – unlocking higher throughput, lower waste, and unprecedented operational insight.”
The partnership enables a new class of connected features that neither company could deliver alone, including predictive filament consumption, automated restocking recommendations, and AI-assisted job scheduling based on both machine and material availability.
Positioning for a Changing Industry
As the 3D printing landscape shifts toward larger fleet deployments, distributed manufacturing, and higher expectations for reliability, the Printago × Filametrics partnership arrives at a critical moment.
Competitors in the space have made strides in automation and cloud print management, but none offer deep, exclusive, co-developed integration between print routing and material intelligence.
This collaboration ensures print farms no longer need to juggle multiple apps or manually reconcile inventory with production – the system handles it automatically.
Early Access & Availability
The integrated platform will enter private beta with select partners in Q1 2026, followed by a full public release later in the year.
Users of either platform will be able to opt-in to the unified experience, with additional enterprise features available for large-scale production teams.
