3DOS launches decentralized 3D printing network on Sui in Cayman Islands

On September 12, 2024, in Grand Cayman, 3DOS announced a partnership with Sui to create a decentralized peer-to-peer manufacturing network. This collaboration aims to address the significant coordination challenges in the global manufacturing market, valued at $15.6 trillion. By integrating Sui's advanced blockchain technologies, including zkLogin, 3DOS seeks to simplify user onboarding and enhance accessibility for millions of potential users. 3DOS has a proven track record, having previously developed one of the first 3D printing operating systems, with over 500,000 users and 4.2 million manufactured parts across more than 120 countries. Notable clients include major organizations such as NASA, Google, and the US military. The transition to Sui's Mainnet is expected to further expand 3DOS's decentralized infrastructure, which has already seen the minting of over 24,000 3D Printed NFTs within a week of launch. The partnership is designed to leverage the benefits of decentralization, including increased redundancy, transparency, and speed, while reducing operational costs and environmental impact. By connecting isolated 3D printing capabilities with global demand, 3DOS and Sui aim to democratize manufacturing and create new economic opportunities worldwide. Industry experts, including Adeniyi Abiodun from Mysten Labs, emphasize the importance of improving manufacturing processes as a critical global challenge. The innovative infrastructure being developed by 3DOS on Sui is expected to catalyze economic growth and technological advancements in the manufacturing sector.
