Kiln

Acerca de

Kiln serves as an open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server and CLI, establishing agentic infrastructure for automated 3D printing. It provides a unified control plane for diverse 3D printer fleets, including OctoPrint, Moonraker, Bambu Lab, Prusa Link, and Elegoo, offering 232 MCP tools for AI-native operation. Agents can seamlessly search for models from marketplaces, auto-slice STL/3MF files, queue prints, and manage jobs, while benefiting from robust safety features like preflight checks, G-code validation, and automatic failure rerouting. Kiln supports printing on local devices, outsourcing to fulfillment centers, and a future distributed peer-to-peer network, abstracting complex physical fabrication processes into a simple, automated workflow.

Características Principales

• Advanced safety features including preflight checks, G-code validation, cross-printer learning, and automatic failure rerouting.
• 2 GitHub stars
• Flexible printing modes: Local printer control, outsourcing to fulfillment centers (e.g., Craftcloud), and future distributed network support.
• Automated workflow: Search models (MyMiniFactory, Cults3D), slice STL/3MF files (PrusaSlicer, OrcaSlicer), and queue prints.
• AI-native integration with 232 Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools for direct control by AI agents (e.g., OpenClaw, Claude, GPT).
• Unified control plane for managing mixed fleets of 3D printers (OctoPrint, Moonraker, Bambu Lab, Prusa Link, Elegoo).

Casos de Uso

• Automating print farm operations, allowing AI agents to manage and execute 3D printing jobs across a fleet of diverse printers.
• Enabling AI agents to handle the entire physical fabrication lifecycle, from model design and search to slicing, printing, and monitoring.
• Streamlining manufacturing by outsourcing print jobs to fulfillment centers directly through agentic commands, with automated quoting and tracking.
