(
3D Operating
System) A decentralized manufacturing network founded in 2019 and fully operable on the Sui blockchain in 2024. The purpose of 3DOS is to avoid the delays of global supply chains for millions of parts made every day and shipped around the world. AI algorithms match the job with the appropriate 3D printer in the 3DOS network.
Product designers upload their files to 3DOS and receive an NFT in return. When a sale is made, 3DOS sends the design to the shop nearest the customer where the part is 3D printed and shipped locally. 3DOS works with third-party payment processors, and uses the blockchain for royalty payments. As a blockchain-based system, the 3DOS token provides staking and governance rights. See
