What Kiln can do.
Design, printability, lifecycle, fleet, safety, and the agent protocol that ties them together — every capability currently shipping.
What Kiln does
Every capability in the box — from parametric generation to signed releases.
Text & Sketch to 3D
Describe what you want or sketch it. Kiln generates printable models via Gemini Deep Think, Meshy, Tripo3D, Stability AI, or parametric OpenSCAD with a 14-component catalog (gears, threads, hinges, bearings). Design DNA preserves the source for iteration.
Git for 3D Printing
Branch new ideas without losing the working version. Merge what prints best. Sign a release and prove later that nothing changed. Works on your designs, your decorations, and your mechanical features. Runs offline on free tier; Pro+ syncs across machines via Kiln’s cloud.
Print → Monitor → Recover
Full lifecycle: slice, validate safety, upload, print, control speed with natural language, monitor with camera vision, detect failures, diagnose root cause, auto-fix slicer settings, and retry. One conversation, start to finish.
Safety at Every Step
44 named per-printer safety profiles with temperature and speed limits. G-code validation before every send. Preflight checks, emergency stop, heater watchdog, G-code interception. Agents can’t bypass safety.
797 MCP Capabilities, One Protocol
797 MCP capabilities and 220 CLI commands with --json output. Any MCP-compatible agent gets full access. Open source, AGPL-3.0 licensed, plugin-extensible.
Design Intelligence
25 FDM materials with full engineering properties, 45 brand-specific filament profiles, 18 proven design templates (snap-fits, living hinges, threads), and structural load estimation. Kiln understands what makes a good print before generating anything.
Printability Engine
Analyze models across 7 dimensions (overhangs, thin walls, bridging, adhesion, supports, warping, thermal stress), score 0–100, auto-orient, repair broken meshes, and auto-scale AI-generated models. Problems get fixed, not just flagged.
Multi-Part Assembly
Design assemblies with up to 10 parts (unlimited with Pro). Clearance validation, joint type detection (snap-fit, press-fit, threaded), tolerance stacking, and automatic split planning for oversize models. Multi-part prints auto-ship with a printable assembly manual.
Auto Assembly Manuals
Multi-part prints generate a printable PDF assembly manual alongside the slice — Bill of Materials, isometric per-step renders, mating-direction arrows, pause-and-check verification gates. Strict-certainty mode: 100% confident or refuses with surgical fix-it instructions. Multilingual + co-branded on Business; "what changed" diff PDFs for buyers of older revisions. Patent-pending.
Smart Cost Estimation
Know what a print will cost before it starts — material, electricity, time. Get recommendations for cheaper filament alternatives, faster speed profiles, and quality tradeoffs.
Fleet & Fulfillment
Multi-printer fleet with job routing, scheduling, and failure rerouting. Print recovery with automatic retry. No local printer? Outsource to Craftcloud’s 150+ third-party services. Same tools, same safety.
Surface Decoration
Emboss or deboss photos, logos, and text onto any model. Multicolor printing support for Bambu AMS. 3 decorations/month free, unlimited with Pro. Scannable QR codes require Business.
Surface Textures
Tiger stripe, marble, snakeskin, lava, wood grain, and more. Procedural and geometric patterns applied directly to any model with zero cloud dependencies. Pro feature.
Material & Mesh Intelligence
45 brand-specific filaments with purchase links and compatibility matching. Plus mesh repair, boolean ops, hollowing, chamfers, fillets, and wall thickening. Know what spool to buy and fix broken STLs.
Mid-print Modification
Decorate, add features, or swap material on a live print — without restarting. Atomic revert if anything goes wrong. The G-code rewriter re-slices from the current layer, splices the change, and resumes with tamper-evident provenance. Pro feature, patent-pending.
Autonomous Failure Recovery
Detect failures via camera vision, diagnose root cause, auto-fix slicer settings, and resume from the exact layer — no filament wasted. Cross-printer learning compounds: every recovery on one machine improves recovery decisions on the rest. Pro feature, patent-pending.
