Your AM factory. Finally under control.
Build Queue is a cloud MES and machine fleet management platform built for 5–50 person additive manufacturing businesses.
Not adapted from enterprise software. Not a generic MRP. Purpose-built for real AM operations — at a price that makes sense.

Enterprise AM MES costs £40,000/year. Generic MRP doesn’t understand 3D printing. Your team is running jobs on spreadsheets.
Enterprise software priced you out
Authentise, AMFG, and 3YOURMIND start at £2,000/month. Built for Boeing and Airbus. Sold with six-figure implementation fees. Not built for a 15-person job shop.
Generic MRP doesn’t speak AM
MRPeasy and Katana are great tools — for injection moulding. They have no concept of print technologies, material traceability, machine health, or AM-specific QC workflows.
No visibility means no control
Without a real MES, AM teams rely on shared spreadsheets, WhatsApp threads, and memory. No audit trail. No traceability. No way to prove what you made, how, and with what material.
One platform. Two layers.
Build Queue combines a cloud-based MES with a local machine fleet management application. The two layers work together — jobs flow from the web platform to the factory floor, and machine data flows back.
Build Queue MES
Cloud • Browser-based
Manage your entire production operation from order intake to job completion. Create and assign work, configure QC routes, track materials, and generate Digital Product Passports — all in a browser, from anywhere.
- •Order management and production scheduling
- •Route templates with configurable data capture
- •Material traceability and inventory management
- •QC workflows with sign-off and audit trail
- •Digital Product Passport generation
- •Role-based access for your whole team
- •Dashboard with real-time job and stock visibility
Machine Client
Desktop app • Windows / macOS / Linux
The factory-floor layer. Connects directly to your 3D printers for real-time monitoring, remote job dispatch, fleet health tracking, and maintenance management — all in a local desktop application that runs in the background.
- •Automatic printer discovery and registration
- •Real-time machine status and live dashboards
- •Job dispatch and priority queue management
- •Maintenance scheduling and consumable tracking
- •Fleet analytics and utilisation reporting
- •Stock and material tracking with reorder alerts
- •Full audit log and role-based access control
Built for the machines your team actually uses.
FDM
Fused Deposition Modelling
Bambu Lab X1E and compatible models. Full job dispatch, real-time status, and material tracking.
SLA
Stereolithography
Formlabs Form 3. Job scheduling, resin tracking, and build data capture.
SLS
Selective Laser Sintering
Formlabs Fuse. Same integration as Form 3. On-site validation underway.

Everything you need to run an AM production operation.
Nothing you don’t.
Order Management & Production Scheduling
Create jobs, assign them to machines or operators, set priorities, and track progress through every stage of production. The scheduler gives you a clear view of what’s in the queue and what’s coming next.
- •Priority-based job queue with drag-to-reorder
- •Filter and assign by technology type (FDM, SLA, SLS)
- •Machine queue view with estimated completion times
- •Route templates — configurable, reusable workflows
QC Workflows Built for AM
Define the exact steps and data you need to capture for each job type. Configure required vs optional fields, pass/fail checks, photo sign-offs, and measurements. Block job progression if required data is missing.
- •Configurable route templates per job type
- •Data capture points: measurements, pass/fail, photos, sign-off
- •Step completion tracking with timestamp and user record
- •Location assignment per step (QC Bench, Post-Processing Area, etc.)
Material Traceability from Batch to Part
Track materials, print files, and consumables through every job. Record batch numbers, supplier documentation, and expiry dates. Know exactly what went into every part you’ve ever made.
- •Material batch tracking with TDS, SDS, and CoC document upload
- •Reorder point alerts and low-stock notifications
- •Stock levels with unit of measure and batch/lot tracking
- •Hierarchical storage location (Building > Room > Shelf > Position)
Visibility Across Your Entire Operation
A customisable dashboard that shows what matters to your role. Jobs in progress, queue depth, stock levels, machine status — all in one view, configurable per user.
- •Widget-based dashboard layout — configure per user or role
- •Jobs in progress, jobs by status, recent activity
- •Stock level monitoring with alert thresholds
- •Filterable by date range, technology, and location
Digital Product Passport
EU Digital Product Passport regulations are coming. Build Queue will automatically generate a DPP on job completion — pulling material batch data, operator records, machine parameters, and traceability chain into a single compliant document.
- •Auto-generated PDF on order completion
- •Full traceability chain: material → machine → operator → output
- •EU DPP regulation aligned
- •Supports ISO 13485, AS9100, and regulated customer requirements
Role-Based Access and Full Audit Trail
Control exactly who can see and do what. Every state-changing action in the platform is logged — who did it, when, and what changed. Full audit-readiness from day one.
- •Admin, Operator, and Viewer roles
- •Fine-grained permissions across all modules
- •Unlimited Viewer seats on every plan
- •Audit log filterable by user, action, entity, and date range
Real-time control of every machine on your factory floor.
The Machine Client is a desktop application that connects directly to your printers. It runs locally, syncs with the web platform, and gives your operators a live view of the entire fleet.
Fleet Management
Add a printer to your network and the Machine Client finds it automatically. Every machine gets a live status card showing current job, progress, temperatures, and material. Organise by location across multiple sites.
- •Automatic network discovery and registration
- •FDM (Bambu Lab), SLA and SLS (Formlabs) supported
- •Real-time status: printing / idle / error / paused
- •Per-machine health diagnostics and connection timeline
- •Multi-site location hierarchy with global filtering
- •QR code labels for instant machine identification
Job Dispatch & Queue Management
Dispatch print jobs directly from the Machine Client or from the web platform — they sync automatically. Set priorities, configure materials and settings, and schedule jobs in advance.
- •Immediate and scheduled job submission
- •Priority-based queue per machine with drag-to-reorder
- •Material and print setting configuration before start
- •Recurring job scheduling with cron-based intervals
- •Calendar timeline view (week and day)
- •Full job lifecycle tracking from submission to completion
Digital File Inventory
Upload print files once. Tag them, search them, and see how they perform across jobs. The Machine Client tracks print success rate and usage history per asset.
- •Upload and manage print files with automatic thumbnails
- •Per-asset print success rate and job history
- •Tagging, search, and filtering by technology type
- •Direct dispatch from inventory to machine queue
Maintenance Management
Schedule routine maintenance on configurable intervals. Log reactive maintenance when issues arise. Link consumable tracking to maintenance tasks so you never run out of what you need.
- •Preventive and reactive maintenance scheduling
- •Configurable recurring intervals per machine
- •Consumable tracking linked to maintenance tasks
- •Operator assignment with notes and completion records
Fleet Analytics
KPIs, charts, and trend data for your entire printer fleet. Fleet utilisation rates, print success rates, job activity, and queue depth — all filterable by date range, technology, and location.
- •Fleet utilisation KPIs with trend data
- •Print success rate charts per machine and fleet-wide
- •Job activity and queue depth overview
- •Filterable by date, technology, and location
Stock Tracking & Alerts
Track every material, spare part, and consumable at machine level. Set reorder thresholds, log consumption per job, and get alerted before you run out.
- •Track materials, spare parts, and consumables with quantity levels
- •Reorder threshold configuration with low-stock alerts
- •Stock consumption logging per job
- •CSV bulk import
- •In-app notification bell with severity levels
- •Email notifications with configurable thresholds
