Density

The same plate, packed two ways.

Same part, same plate, same scale. On the left, Bambu Studio's own auto-arrange. On the right, Pack3D. Drag the divider.

Why it fits more: overhangs nest
From the founder

Pack3D started as a program I wrote for a friend's print farm. The first version packed around 20% more parts per plate than a skilled human nester. Read the story

How it works

From upload to printable layout.

  1. Step 1

    Upload

    Drop in 3MF or STL files. Choose your printer, clearance, and print scale. Each file gets its own plate.

  2. Step 2

    Pack

    Pack3D fills the plate with as many copies of your part as will fit. It tries many rotations against the part’s true 3D shape and keeps the densest layout.

  3. Step 3

    Print

    Check the layout in 2D and 3D, then download a packed 3MF that is ready to slice.

Built for production printing

  • Packs by true shape

    Curved parts nest into each other instead of reserving the empty box around them.

  • Real printer profiles

    Bambu Lab, Prusa, Elegoo, Creality, Snapmaker. Custom plates to 500 mm.

  • Batch queue

    Queue many files at once, reorder or cancel them, and watch progress live.

  • Reads your printer from the 3MF

    A Bambu Studio or OrcaSlicer project opens back up on the plate it came from.

  • Online or on-site

    Use it at pack3d.net, or run it on your own server by arrangement.

  • Your designs stay yours

    Used to compute your layout and nothing else, then deleted as soon as the job finishes.

Pack your first plate.
