Streamline Pro is a workflow platform designed to simplify and centralize printer management, job requests, analytics, and security for organizations using Stratasys 3D printers. It provides four key modules: Control, Shop, Analyze, and Shield. Together, they improve access control, workload automation, production visibility, and cybersecurity.
Why Streamline Pro Matters
Juggling multiple printers, user roles, job requests, material usage, and production metrics is challenging. The traditional approach quickly becomes a bottleneck. Streamline Pro helps teams automate and audit these processes.
By consolidating into one system, you gain more control over job workflow and cost-estimation, without having to increase headcount.
How Does Streamline Pro Help?
Here’s a breakdown of the four core modules that enable efficient workflow management:
1. CONTROL
This is the administrative backbone of the platform, where printers, users, and license management all live. Control reduces unauthorized access and improves onboarding/offboarding.
Key Features:
- Prevent unauthorized access to 3D printers and avoid business interruptions.
- Manage user access, groups, printer groups, and licensing in one place.
2. SHOP
This module transforms your print-job requests into managed “shop” workflows, from quoting to scheduling to tracking status.
Key Features:
- Simplified workorder management: automated quoting, planning, and request handling.
- Status visibility for requesters, operators, and administrators.
- Role assignment (administrator, requester, operator) to enforce correct permissions and visibility.
3. ANALYZE
Visibility is crucial. With this module, you can monitor machine health, utilization, material consumption, and more.
Key Features:
- Custom dashboards and alerts tailored to your printers and jobs.
- Reports like Printer Health Summary, Utilization, Uptime/Downtime, and Material vs Consumption.
- Notifications for specified events (e.g., job completed, downtime detected) to maximize uptime.
4. SHIELD
Cybersecurity is often under-emphasized, but Streamline Pro makes it a priority. Shield is a physical industrial-grade secure network device, that protects your Stratasys 3D printer from cyber-security attacks.
Key Features:
- IPv6 support.
- Integrated firewall that regulates communication to/from the printer.
- Intrusion Detection System (IDS) to monitor abnormal network behavior.
- MSI Validation allows digital signatures validate installation packages sent to printers.
Scale With Confidence
Many of the organizations that are using Streamline Pro report a 4x ROI within the first year, largely due to better machine utilization and reduced downtime.
The platform’s hybrid deployment offers the best of both worlds: on-premises control for analytics and security, and cloud-based tools that make collaboration easy across teams and locations.
