About Us
Redefining Industrial 3D Printing Through Intelligent Software
At Protype we transform ordinary printers into connected, production-grade machines.
Our real-time control platforms — Protype HUB and Protype OS — deliver sub-second telemetry, secure remote access and effortless over-the-air updates, giving manufacturers the speed, precision and uptime they need to innovate at scale.
Our Mission
We exist to unlock the full potential of additive manufacturing, turning every 3D printer into a reliable production tool that anyone can operate with confidence.
Our mission is to close the gap between raw hardware and seamless digital workflow, so ideas move from CAD to finished part without friction or downtime.
We unite robust engineering with purposeful design, delivering platforms that empower operators and scale with factories, ultimately making high-performance printing effortless for everyone.

How We Work
Join us on a pragmatic engineering journey where clarity and rigour turn complex manufacturing challenges into reliable code.
01
Assess Requirements
We dive into your production goals, machine stack and data-flow constraints, mapping out every technical and business need that will steer development.
02
Architect & Prototype
Our engineers craft a scalable system design and build a working proof-of-concept—demonstrating firmware hooks, API contracts and UI flow before full implementation.
03
Iterate & Validate
Using agile sprints, we deliver incremental features, run bench tests on real hardware and fine-tune based on stakeholder feedback until performance targets are met.
04
Deploy & Support
We ship a hardened release, automate OTA updates and provide ongoing monitoring and SLA-backed support—so your lines keep printing while the platform keeps improving.
