Your workbench is only as good as your organisation. The 3D Maker’s Bench isn’t just an app — it’s the missing piece between your filament spools and your print queue. This guide walks you through getting started, setting up your inventory, and using the Gap Method to stay ahead of material shortages.
3D Maker’s Bench is an iOS app designed specifically for 3D printing workflows. It brings simple filament inventory management to your workbench, replacing the post-it notes and spreadsheets that most makers rely on. Built around a sophisticated ‘Gap Method’ calculator, it lets you estimate remaining filament length with high precision — no more guessing how much PLA or PETG is left in a half-used spool.
