leanAM MES is the 3D printing management software (Manufacturing Execution System, MES) that runs entirely inside your network. It drives printer fleets from different vendors, handles the processing locally and needs no forced cloud. Your production data stays in the plant, even across multiple sites.
Modern 3D printers from many manufacturers send print data, camera feeds and machine telemetry through external cloud servers by default. Convenient for home users. A problem for companies.
Production data, CAD geometries and manufacturing parameters are core knowledge. They do not belong on servers in the US or China, least of all in industries with documentation and data protection requirements.
leanAM MES keeps all data inside your network. The machines run without external servers or manufacturer accounts, and production continues during an internet outage.
leanAM MES talks to your printers directly over the local network, with no external cloud and no mandatory manufacturer accounts. It reaches a wide range of makes and models through vendor-specific protocols and open standards like MQTT and OPC UA.
leanAM MES covers order control, machine monitoring and reporting. Every component runs on-premise, with no cloud dependency.
Create and prioritize print jobs and route them automatically to available machines — including BOMs, material variants and delivery dates.
Print progress, temperatures, material consumption and remaining runtime in real time — a shop-floor overview for every machine in your print farm.
Integration with common slicer software — manage print profiles centrally and generate print jobs automatically.
Spools, batches and consumption documented from goods-in to finished part. Essential for material qualification and regulated industries.
Email and webhook notifications on print failures, material changes or downtime, so your team can react before damage occurs.
OEE, utilization, first-pass scrap rate and print times, available as local dashboards or exports for your reporting pipelines.
Role-based access control defines who may operate which machine and protects expensive or safety-critical equipment. Useful for universities, multi-tenant environments and plants with rotating operator teams.
Per-order costing, automatic charging for universities or internal cost centers, export to SAP and others.
Open interfaces via REST, OPC UA and MQTT — custom connectors for your system where technically feasible.
This is how a print job flows through leanAM MES, documented and auditable. Not a single step touches an external server.
STL/3MF is uploaded via web UI or API — stored locally, with the ERP order linked automatically.
Pick a profile or let the system suggest one. Material and machine are validated, and the slice job runs locally.
The job is routed to the next available machine — even across multiple shop-floor sites.
Printing starts automatically while telemetry is logged locally. Any deviation triggers an immediate alert.
Print log, material batch and images are archived locally — ready for audit and shipment.
Answers to the questions we hear most often, from licensing model to data sovereignty.
Yes. leanAM MES is fully on-premise and requires no internet connection. All data stays inside your network — no forced cloud, no subscription, no external servers.
leanAM MES supports several ways of controlling machines directly on the local network, without an external cloud and without mandatory accounts. Print data stays entirely within your infrastructure. Whether and to what extent your production environment can be supported is something we can review in a conversation. Contact us
Yes. leanAM MES runs fully on-premise — all production and machine data remains inside your network. No external servers, no cloud routing, no data sharing. Software and support come from Germany.
A basic installation without ERP integration is typically ready for use within 1–3 working days. For more involved setups, such as ERP/CAQ integration, large machine fleets or specific compliance requirements, we work out a realistic schedule together. We usually plan 2–6 weeks to full operation.
leanAM MES provides open interfaces (REST, OPC UA, MQTT) that enable integration with ERP, CAQ and PLM systems. Where technically feasible, custom connectors can be developed for your existing system. We are happy to discuss which integration makes sense for your environment. Contact us
