BuildFrog turns your browser into a full CAD-to-print pipeline. Describe what you want — AI writes the CAD code, previews the model, slices it, and sends it straight to your Bambu Lab printer over LAN. No Bambu Cloud. No CAD experience. Nothing leaves your desk.

BuildFrog Studio: AI-generated frog 3D model ready to print, with code editor and live preview

Pick Your Path

BuildFrog works across the full spectrum — from a single Bambu on your desk to a locked-down factory floor.

Individual

Maker & Hobbyist

Design + Print in minutes, not weeks.

Learning CAD takes months. Slicers are confusing. You have an idea and a printer — you just want the thing to exist.

  • No CAD experience needed — ever
  • AI generates CadQuery, Build123d, or OpenSCAD
  • Live 3D preview, iterate in seconds
  • Direct LAN send to Bambu Lab printer
  • Works in any browser

Manufacturing & Enterprise

Air-gapped. Zero cloud leaks. Full IP control.

You can't upload proprietary CAD to cloud services. IP policy forbids it. You need manufacturing software that stays on your network — no exceptions.

Local LLM. Local slicing. Local printing. BuildFrog takes a natural-language spec and delivers a sliced, print-ready file without touching the cloud. No external API calls, no vendor telemetry, no data leaving your infrastructure.
  • Fully air-gapped deployment
  • On-premises LLM — no external API calls
  • No vendor telemetry, ever
  • Batch processing & fleet management
  • Audit trail & compliance ready

Education

K-12 & STEM Schools

Idea to physical object in one class period.

IT blocks cloud accounts. Chromebooks can't run desktop CAD. You need a tool students can access, teachers can manage, and IT will approve.

One LAN URL. Students design. Teachers control. No cloud accounts, no installs, nothing stored externally. Works on any Chromebook or laptop, IT-friendly, zero external dependencies.
  • Works on Chromebooks & any browser
  • Single LAN URL — no cloud signup
  • Teacher dashboard & design approval
  • Class projects & student portfolios
  • Zero data leaves school network

How It Works

Four steps. One browser tab. A physical object in your hand.

1

Write a Prompt

Describe what you want. "A bracket to hold my water bottle" or "A phone stand angled at 30 degrees." Plain English, no special syntax.

2

AI Generates Code

BuildFrog writes the CAD code — CadQuery, Build123d, or OpenSCAD. No conversion step, no mesh-from-image hack. Proper parametric geometry.

3

Preview & Tweak

See a live 3D preview in your browser. Adjust dimensions, change materials, iterate in seconds. Refine with follow-up prompts.

4

Slice & Print

Auto-slices for your Bambu Lab printer. Sends the job directly over LAN — no Bambu Studio, no Bambu Cloud, no extra steps.

Simple, Honest Pricing

Free vs. paid is about use, not identity: a hobbyist who sells the odd print stays free. Businesses, schools, and teams need a license. Licenses are offline, signed files — no phone-home, ever.
