First Layer: 3D Printing Simulator

About the Game

Build and run your own 3D printing workshop! Prepare models, get your printers running, and complete orders. Handle every step from production to sales, invest your earnings in new equipment, and grow your small workshop.

Turn models into products

Produce keychains, figures, vases, and desk organizers. Choose a model at your computer, adjust its settings, and send it to a printer. Watch filament take shape layer by layer, collect finished products from the build plate, and prepare them for sale.

Get your printers running

Load filament spools, start prints, and keep track of production. Collect finished products, prepare your printers for the next order, and keep your workshop organized.

Adjust your print settings

Plan production for each product. Adjust layer height, infill, and print speed to balance time and filament use. Account for the time and materials each order will need.

Manage stock and orders

Keep track of your filament stock, decide which printer will make each product, and organize your print queue. Complete incoming orders, sell your products, and track your earnings. Make better use of your materials and machines as business picks up.

Expand your workshop

Spend your earnings on new printers and materials, increase production capacity, and make room for more orders. Turn a small beginning into a working print shop.

Make your first print. Complete your first order. Grow your business, layer by layer.
