One record from uploaded model file to finished, inspected and dispatched part.

Model files, revisions, quotes, build plates, printer queues, material spools, post-processing and dispatch are all held against the part being made. A part carries its file revision, its price basis, the lot it was printed from and its inspection result. Operators see their own printers and finishing steps on a tablet at the bench.

  • Printer hourly rates, filament and resin list and finishing steps entered as your quotes use them
  • Customers, orders in progress and file references brought over
  • GullySystem staff adjust rates and finishing routes whenever you ask

Service bureaus and in-house print farms use this software to price uploads, plan build plates, track material lots and record finishing and inspection. Each part holds its file revision, print hours, material grams, failed attempts and measured dimensions. Operators see their own printers on a tablet. Maintenance dates follow each machine.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Quotes and files drift apart

A customer emails a new revision once the price is agreed. The quote still names the old model, and the printed part follows the newer one.

Material cost is an estimate

Spools are used until empty. Resin is poured by eye. Grams drawn per build are rarely logged, so cost per part cannot be checked.

Printers are queued from a whiteboard

Each machine has its own build volume and process. Matching a plate to a free printer is done by memory. Idle hours go unseen.

Failed builds leave no trace

A detached print or clogged nozzle ends a build early. The wasted hours and grams are written nowhere. Reprints look free.

Finishing has no fixed route

Support removal, sanding, vapour smoothing, dye and coating differ by part. Steps are skipped when the order of work is known only to one operator.

Inspection results sit on paper

Calliper readings and scan reports are kept in a folder. When a customer disputes a tolerance, the reading is hard to find against the batch.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    File intake

    A customer uploads a model or emails it. The file is stored with its revision, units, requested material and finish, and linked to the customer.

  2. 2

    Quote

    The estimator enters print hours and grams from the slicer. Support, finishing and set-up are added, and the quote is tied to that revision.

  3. 3

    Build planning

    Approved parts are placed on build plates and queued to a printer that suits the process and the build volume.

  4. 4

    Printing

    The operator loads a spool or resin lot. The build starts and its end is recorded. A failed build is logged with cause and wasted grams.

  5. 5

    Post-processing and inspection

    Parts follow their route through support removal and finishing. Quality staff measure critical dimensions. Pass or rework is recorded.

  6. 6

    Dispatch and invoice

    Parts are boxed and checked against the order, the invoice comes straight from the quote the customer approved, and the portal shows where the job stands.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

File intake and revisions

Store each model with its revision, units, material and finish request, so every quote and build names one exact file version.

Quotes from print hours and material

Build quotes from machine hours, material grams, support volume, finishing and set-up charges, using your own rate list. Revisions are kept.

Customer upload and approval portal

Customers upload files, see the quote against a named revision and approve it, with their own parts and invoices listed in one place.

Build plates and printer queue

Nest approved parts onto plates and queue them across FDM, resin and powder machines, with hours booked and free slots shown for each printer.

Spool, resin and powder lots

Receive material by lot and weight, record grams drawn per build, and see what remains on each spool before the next plate is started.

Post-processing route

Set a route of support removal, sanding, dyeing or coating for each part type, with operators confirming each step from a tablet.

Inspection and failed builds

Record measured dimensions against the drawing, mark pass or rework, and log failed builds with cause and grams lost, linked to the reprint.

Printer maintenance and calibration

Keep print hours, nozzle and vat changes, laser and bed calibration and service dates for every machine, with reminders when a part is due.

Orders, dispatch and invoices

An approved quote becomes an order. Pack against it, ship with a tracking reference, then invoice in the customer’s currency with the tax lines that market requires.

Repeat parts and batch pricing

Keep a catalogue of parts printed before, with the settings, material and price that worked, so a reorder starts from the last good build.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Quote & Proposal Management

    Quotes are priced from print hours, grams and support volume at your own rates, and every revision stays tied to the model it was built on.

  • Client Portal

    Customers upload model files, check the quote against the revision they sent and approve it without an email thread.

  • Production Planning

    Approved parts are nested onto plates and queued to printers by process and build volume, so each machine’s booked hours are visible.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Each spool, resin bottle and powder lot is received with a number and weight, then recorded against every part printed from it.

  • Work Order Management

    A route of support removal, sanding and coating is attached to each part, and operators confirm every step as the work is finished.

  • Quality Control

    Measured dimensions are recorded against the drawing, and a failed build is logged with its cause and the grams lost.

  • Asset AMC Tracking

    Each printer keeps print hours, nozzle and vat changes and service dates, with reminders raised before a worn part causes failed builds.

  • Invoice Management

    Tax invoices are raised from approved quotes in the customer’s currency, with the shipment reference and payments recorded alongside.

Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Your machine and material rates

Start with the hourly rate for each printer, the cost of material per gram or millilitre, and your support and finishing charges, exactly as you quote jobs now.

Processes and finishing routes

Whether a part goes through FDM, resin, powder or metal, the route it takes from build to washing, curing, support removal and inspection is laid out to mirror your own floor.

Customers and open orders migrated

Customer accounts, jobs still running and links to their model files are pulled in from your sheets and mail folders.

Slicer figures

Print time and material weight from your slicer are entered or imported, with the exact link agreed during implementation.

Currency and tax settings

Print jobs sold abroad are billed in the buyer’s currency under local tax rules, and a trial invoice for each country is reviewed together.

Hosted by GullySystem

The system lives on GullySystem servers, so quoting staff and machine operators open the same job records. Changes to rates and routes come from GullySystem staff.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can it work with several printer types at once?

Yes. FDM, resin and powder machines are each listed with their own build volume, rate and maintenance schedule. A plate is queued to a machine that suits the process.

Does a quote stay tied to a model revision?

Yes. Each quote names the revision it was priced on. If the customer uploads a newer file, the system flags that the price needs review before a build is queued.

How is material consumption tracked?

Spools, resin bottles and powder lots are received by weight. Operators record grams drawn per build, and the remaining weight is shown before the next plate starts.

Can we record failed prints and their cost?

Yes. A failed build is logged with its cause, hours run and grams wasted. The reprint is linked to the original job, so the loss is visible.

Do customers get a login?

Yes, if you want one. A customer uploads files, approves quotes and sees order status and invoices. What each customer may see is decided with you.

Does it read geometry from a model file?

No. It stores the file and the figures you enter or import from your slicer. Automatic volume analysis would be a separate piece of custom work.

Can printer maintenance be scheduled?

Yes. Each machine keeps its print hours and service history. Reminders appear for nozzle changes, vat swaps, calibration and laser checks as their intervals come due.

Can we reprint a part from an earlier order?

Yes. A parts catalogue holds the file, material and settings of earlier jobs. A reorder starts from the last accepted build and its price.

How much does it cost?

The cost is sent as a written quote after a short call and a demo. The call covers your printers, order volume and whether customers need a portal login. No figure is published here.

Can the data be exported later?

Yes. Orders, quotes, lot records and inspection readings are exportable in common file formats. The file format you want is named in the quote.
