Pro
For hobbyists & personal projects.
- ✓ Everything in Free
- ✓ 1 printer (single-printer use)
- ✓ Hobbyist & personal projects only
- ✓ Unlimited job queue
- ✓ Unlimited assembly parts
- ✓ Git for 3D — branch, merge, cherry-pick, and Ed25519-sign releases for designs, decorations, and mechanical features
- ✓ Tamper-evident releases — cryptographically seal a release so anyone can later prove the design hasn't been altered since you signed it
- ✓ Three-way semantic mesh merge — Z-level / pocket / bounding-box diff at manufacturing tolerance
- ✓ Versioned decoration presets — brand-asset library with signed releases
- ✓ Versioned mechanical features — chamfers, fillets, pockets, holes, bosses, ribs, screw-hole patterns, custom OpenSCAD
- ✓ Solo cloud sync to Kiln Cloud — tenant-isolated RLS + Merkle push receipts

- ✓ Mid-print modification engine — decorate, add features, swap material mid-job
- ✓ Autonomous failure recovery & print resume
- ✓ Design provenance, regression detection, cross-branch outcome A/B
- ✓ Manual speed control & print learning
- ✓ Per-printer calibration grounding & continuous learning — Kiln imports your OrcaSlicer / Bambu Studio / PrusaSlicer profiles AND keeps refining per-printer offsets from your actual prints. Freshness tracking knows when your printer drifts; ask “why is this dimension what it is?” and get a real answer with full provenance.
- ✓ Material-aware printability — PLA, PETG, ABS and every other Kiln-supported material get per-material checks. Free uses one conservative default; Pro tunes to what’s on your spool.
- ✓ Kiln learns your printer’s habits — knows whether yours prints walls thicker or thinner than designed, and tunes the warnings to fit.
- ✓ Every warning has a fix — Pro shows both the design fix (“thicken to 1.5mm”) and the slicer fix (“or set 4+ perimeters”), and can apply the slicer fix for you.
- ✓ Design matches what you asked for — tell Kiln what you’re making, and it checks the result actually does the job. PLA in a cookie cutter? Approved. PLA in a water bottle? Steered to PETG.
- ✓ Won’t-fit fixes — free stops a doomed print before it wastes filament; Pro shows your printer’s true usable area, the cleanest split for an oversize part, or the material to switch to
- ✓ Adhesive recommendations — the right glue for joining two printed parts, with surface prep and cure schedule, cited to datasheets; recommendations sharpen as you log which joints actually held, while the cited specs stay authoritative
- ✓ Part Passport — everything about a design in one call, instead of asking tool by tool
- ✓ REST API server

Book an intro call →Frequently Asked Questions
Is local printing really free?
Yes. Kiln is open source (AGPL-3.0). Local printing, slicing, and printer control are free forever with no limits on print volume.
What is a fulfillment order?
When you outsource manufacturing through Craftcloud via Kiln. Local printing to your own printers does not count.
Can I self-host everything?
Yes. Kiln runs entirely locally. Pro/Business/Enterprise tiers add optional cloud features, but free tier local basic functionality never requires a subscription.
Do I need a paid plan for multiple printers?
Free and Pro tiers each support 1 printer. Business includes 3 printers ($15/mo per additional, up to 50). For larger fleets, Enterprise is custom-quoted.
What's the difference between Pro and Business?
Pro is for hobbyists and personal projects — single user, single printer, not for prints sold for revenue. Business is for anyone running a real operation: Etsy shops, Shopify stores, custom-order businesses, agencies, schools, manufacturers. Business adds multi-printer fleet management, team seats, QR codes, and the workflow features small shops actually need. (Both tiers are subscription plans for the hosted product — separate from the AGPL-alternative licensing covered below.)
What does annual billing save?
Annual plans save roughly 20% compared to monthly. Pro drops from $49/mo to $39/mo ($468/yr). Business drops from $199/mo to $159/mo ($1,908/yr). Enterprise pricing is custom — annual savings are part of the conversation. You can switch between monthly and annual at any time.
What's included in Enterprise?
Enterprise is for teams running production print operations — manufacturing, regulated industries, large fleets. It includes a dedicated single-tenant MCP server, SSO, role-based access control, full audit trails, lockable safety profiles, on-prem or VPC deployment options, dedicated CSM, and a 99.9% uptime SLA. Pricing is tailored per deal — contact us for a quote that fits your team and use case.
Can I try Enterprise before committing?
Yes. Email adam@kiln3d.com and we'll set you up with full Enterprise access to evaluate.
Need a non-AGPL license to use Kiln in proprietary code?
Different from the subscription tiers above. Kiln is open source under AGPL-3.0, which requires that derivative works and networked services built on Kiln also be open-sourced. If your company needs to use Kiln in proprietary products without AGPL obligations, we offer an AGPL commercial license (a dual-licensing alternative — not a subscription tier). Contact adam@kiln3d.com to discuss.
