Description
Birlo 3D Print Lite for WooCommerce turns WooCommerce into a self-hosted FDM 3D-printing quotation and order workflow.
Customers can upload STL, OBJ and 3MF files, preview supported models in 3D, choose manufacturing options, receive an estimate and add the configured part to the WooCommerce cart. Store operators can manage printers, materials, production jobs and the related manufacturing workflow from WordPress.
The Lite edition is self-hosted and does not require a Birlo commercial licence, Birlo Slicer Cloud or a private update service.
