Eiger
What it is
Eiger is browser-based 3D printing software for preparing parts and managing Markforged print activity. Users can import STL or STEP files, arrange parts into a build, adjust slicing and fiber routing, and generate an MFP file for a Markforged printer. Selective fiber reinforcement controls let users direct reinforcement within a part, while printer management and print activity are available from one place.
The free cloud platform is for Markforged devices; the maker describes it as suitable for institutions with one to one hundred printers. Cloud use requires an internet connection to upload, create, view, and share part, build, and print-job data. Offline Eiger works without internet and does not upload user or part data to the cloud. Offline print files must be transferred by USB or, with LAN Connector installed, over a local network. The Essential plan includes Job Requests for submitting, tracking, and fulfilling print requests. Blacksmith is a subscription feature for scanning printed parts and comparing them with design files. The maker says cloud build files are encrypted in transit and at rest, and that Eiger earned ISO 27001 certification.
