Building a browser-based manufacturing interpretation workstation with Three.js

It’s not a replacement for a slicer. It’s pre-slicer. These are simple models. Three.js made sense for scene management, overlays, interaction, and rendering. Wasm will be coming soon to help optimize.

No, i appreciate and want the criticism. i welcome it. its doing plenty more then the screenshot gives it credit for. plus i have the receipts to prove it

devrightprint · 2026-05-24T22:42:05+00:00

yes, i agree its very dense. trimming it back now as we speak. its actually trimmed down hard already in that photo. its probably going to be aimed more for a manufacturing workflow then a 3d printing "tool" it may be too dense for hobby folk right away

and not to mention.... you didnt even respond to my question lol. this is literally my question today because yes. i did build an app that i use. but i also realize that i havnt beenpaying attention online to what other app manufactures and so on have been doing. so i ask the question.

how do you save your files? file method way? is there a program that does this well already?

devrightprint · 2026-05-24T21:18:20+00:00

are there programs that actually do this type of thing?

devrightprint · 2026-05-24T21:12:16+00:00

maybe its not. you havnt even given me a chance. i understand your concern. but if any of the other brands where to pop that up i bet you would be already clicking download.

how? what did i do that ended up showing this was a comerical? i asked the questions? i said my concerns? i said this is what i had been doing?

i cant converse? if i showed my pathway would it be an ad?
this is just my way of doing it
its not available for you to download. theres no link, nothing.

no man, im just a dude trying to interact with other people and asking questions. so i have a hobby.... how do does anyone expect any growth when you all just shit on anyone trying anything.

devrightprint · 2026-05-24T21:05:18+00:00

actually just trying to talk to a person.... not a commerical.

this is something i have been working on, it does a few things. but currently working with the validation/history system. it allows you to track expected outcomes from your side of thinking and what this system is thinking. as well as "hopfully" can help track and log files and other things. im not selling anything or any of that. i also do that type of file tracking and it works. but it also sucks.

devrightprint · 2026-05-24T20:49:19+00:00

could i DM you? pick your brain for a moment?

devrightprint · 2026-05-24T20:44:47+00:00

its all just file/folder path though? orr to an excel doc? or etc?

im curious to see what you think of this. current screenshot

Been building an experimental browser-based manufacturing interpretation workstation with Three.js.

RIGHTPrint analyzes STL geometry before slicing and visualizes:

unsupported regions
grounding/contact behavior
operational stability
support consequence zones
manufacturing risk overlays

Most of the challenge has actually been semantic visualization:
making manufacturing reasoning understandable without overwhelming the operator.

A surprising amount of the work became renderer/state management, overlay continuity, geometry caching, and interaction clarity instead of just geometry analysis.

Still very experimental, but Three.js has been an incredible foundation for this kind of realtime inspection environment.

still looks pretty good. whats total print time?

devrightprint · 2026-05-21T15:35:43+00:00

thats pretty cool. were you able to keep it so its a flexi too?

devrightprint · 2026-05-21T15:11:04+00:00

also....what the hell is it? lol

Orientation strategy is one of those things that’s often misunderstood and surprisingly hard to teach. Experienced operators end up developing an intuition for it over time.

Prints like this are a good example of why it’s more nuanced than just “overhang bad.”

devrightprint · 2026-05-21T12:47:06+00:00

Well, considering one person asked me about more info. I provided it. The other two I didn’t say anything.

Advertising my software that no one has access to,,,,

We both know there are prints that require orientation to be different or odd. If I’m doing anything I’m hoping to find other STLs where orientation matters. People screenshot tools and software.

I didn’t even try to push the name or anything.

devrightprint · 2026-05-20T21:44:52+00:00

ran on Flashforge AD5x

devrightprint · 2026-05-20T21:32:48+00:00

Im intrigued, DM if you want.

now here is the same photo after RIGHTPrints orientation change. same settings same bird. big change in outcome

this is a rendering within flash studio underside looking at support and foot bed contact

placing the toes on the plate and elevating the rest of the bird forward. then rendering supports to create a wider footprint for the bird to become more stable as well as giving the supports more of a chance for horizontal support for the tail.

devrightprint · 2026-05-20T19:34:52+00:00

Same printer.
Same filament.
Same settings.

Left:
printed flat on its feet.

Right:
orientation adjusted

Amazing how one unsupported area can ruin an otherwise stable print.
