## About df3d

df3d builds engineering software and professional tools for the additive manufacturing industry.
Incorporated 31 January 2014. Commenced operations 17 February 2014, Bangalore.
Recognised in the Wohlers Report 2014 as India's first B2C 3D printing marketplace.

We build software, not printers. Our products:
- Engineering applications (FEA stress analysis, with topology optimization and simulation coming)
- Free professional tools (3D viewer, G-code analyzer, build plate nester, instant quote, model compare, material database, model library)
- White-label ordering platform for 3D print shops

## What df3d builds

### Applications
Purpose-built engineering software for additive manufacturing.
- FEA Stress Analysis: Upload STL, apply loads and constraints, run finite element analysis. Von Mises stress, displacement, safety factor visualization.
- Topology Optimization: Coming soon — generative design optimized for AM constraints.
- Print Simulation: Coming soon — predict warping, support needs, thermal distortion.

### Free Tools (www.df3d.com/tools)
Professional-grade browser tools — no signup, no installation, files never leave your browser.
- 3D Viewer: STL, OBJ, 3MF, GLB viewer with cross-section, measurement, wireframe
- Instant Quote: Upload STL, get price estimate by material and quality
- Build Plate Nester: Multi-file auto-arrange on configurable build plates
- Model Compare: Side-by-side and overlay comparison of two 3D models
- G-code Analyzer: Parse and visualize G-code with layer navigation
- Material Database: 415+ filaments from 53 brands (SpoolmanDB)
- Model Library: Local IndexedDB-based 3D file organizer

### Ordering Platform (www.df3d.com/print)
White-label ordering system for 3D print shops. File upload with 3D preview, geometry-based pricing, online payment, order tracking. Your brand, our technology.
