New Matter Dashboard & Printer Queue
The New Matter Store was developed to address the challenges of the growing 3D printing industry, which has a steep learning curve and lacks user-friendly solutions for finding 3D designs that print properly on current printers. The store not only offers a range of 3D files that are compatible with the MOD-t printer, but also provides an easy-to-use interface for purchasing the MOD-t and its accessories.
To ensure a seamless user experience, the store’s design was modeled after the user-friendliness of the MOD-t. It boasts a modular and visually appealing design that is easy to navigate, making it simple for users and designers to quickly start printing and selling their designs. By providing a hassle-free shopping experience, the store caters to both new and experienced users, enabling them to get started with 3D printing without any difficulties.

Outcome
The introduction of the New Matter dashboard to our Designers was met with positive reception. Our creators engaged extensively with the dashboard, with advanced users finding significant value in the data it provided. They were able to glean insights into trends and concentrate their efforts on their most popular designs. However, due to the feature’s recent implementation, the initial data was limited, and the small user base resulted in less actionable information during the early stages. Nevertheless, we are confident that as the product scales and our customer base expands, the effectiveness of the dashboard will increase accordingly.
