Want to see all your print jobs from one screen? Our new Jobs page makes it easy to check progress of jobs across production, see which printer(s) a job is printing on, and mark prints as done once you’ve collected them.

Tracking multiple print jobs throughout production can be complicated. With AutoFarm3D™’s automatic job routing and dispatch, you simply add jobs to the queue and let AutoFarm3D take care of the scheduling.

But what about monitoring progress after that? This is where our new revamped Jobs page comes in.

It makes it easy to:

  • Visualize and understand job progress across production
  • See what jobs have been completed and where to pick them up
  • Easily reorder jobs when priorities change

With this new page, you’ll always understand what’s happening on your production, so you can ensure everything is moving efficiently, respond when things go off track, and plan your schedule based on real-time information.
