Partner briefing · slicer makers & printer brands

Bed intelligence, built into your slicer.

3D BedSense turns every printer's bed mesh into a clear 3D map of high and low spots, with step-by-step leveling advice — licensed as a feature of your software, paid per printer activated.

02 · The problem

The first layer is still where most prints fail.

Owners see a wall of mesh numbers and guess which screw to turn. They leave your slicer to find answers, and the frustration lands on your support team.

Numbers, not answers
Mesh data is a grid of offsets. Few users can read which corner is high or how far to turn a knob.
Support load
Leveling and adhesion questions are among the most common tickets for every printer brand.
Lost to other tools
Owners jump to forums and third-party sites — away from your slicer and your ecosystem.

03 · What BedSense does

See the bed. Fix the bed.

3D heatmap of every probe point
High and low spots in mm, at a glance.
Leveling advice per corner
Which screw, which way, how far.
Defect & wear mapping
Scratches, dents and worn coating on the plate.
250+ printers · 37 brands · 15 plates
Every major machine and surface built in.

04 · How it plugs in

Two pieces. Days to integrate, not months.

Bed analysis service
Your slicer sends the printer's mesh in one secure server call and gets back high/low spots, corner offsets, a grade and plain-English advice.
Embeddable 3D viewer
Drop the BedSense viewer into your app. It renders the bed in 3D and follows your license.
Live usage & invoices
A partner portal shows printers activated per month and lets you download each month's royalty invoice.

05 · Why partner

A feature your owners notice on day one.

Differentiate your slicer
Visual bed diagnostics as a built-in feature.
Fewer leveling tickets
Guided fixes in the moment, before owners contact support.
Keep owners in your ecosystem
Answers inside your software instead of forums.
No hardware changes
Uses the bed mesh your printers already produce.
Pay only for real use
Royalty is counted per printer that actually uses the feature.
Fair, auditable counting
Each printer counts once. Serials stored only as one-way fingerprints.

06 · Business model

Royalty per printer activated.

A printer is activated the first time it uses BedSense through your software. Re-use by the same printer is free, forever. Rate is agreed per partner in the license agreement.

Illustrative example

For illustration only — not a forecast. Final terms are set in a signed license agreement.
