Run billing your way

Every district budgets differently. Choose per school whether the district pays centrally or the school pays its own way - and change your mind later.

District pays centrally

Schools the district covers land on one merged monthly invoice. Add printers or whole schools any time from the district panel - billing is metered automatically at the next cycle, no sales calls needed.

Each school pays its own way

Schools with their own budgets bill separately while the district keeps central oversight, shared standards and district SSO. You pick per school, set a district-wide default, and mix both models freely.

District management

Everything a district needs in one place

District-standard permission groups in SimplyPrint

District standards

Roll out the same user groups, safety-course gates and quota policies in every building, so 3D printing works the same way district-wide. You can even author your own academy courses - teacher training, IT onboarding, district safety rules - and share them with every school you manage.

Per-student quotas in SimplyPrint

Quotas & budgets

Cap prints, material or cost per student in every school - reset per semester, tied to the school calendar.

Usage statistics per printer and per user in SimplyPrint

Usage you can report

Print jobs, hours and material per student and per printer in each school - the numbers your program reviews and grant reports need.

District SSO

One login for the whole district

Connect your district identity provider once - Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, Clever or any SAML/OIDC provider - and share it with every managed school. Students and staff sign in with the account they already use all day and land in their own school automatically.

No passwords to hand out, no per-school IT setup, and accounts follow your district's own lifecycle. We enable District SSO for you as part of onboarding.

SimplyPrint AI failure detection watching a school print
AI failure detection

AI watching every printer - included free

The AI catches spaghetti and warping early and notifies staff, so a failed print doesn't waste class time or filament - in any school, on any printer with a camera.

For district-managed schools, AI failure detection is included at no extra cost. And we do not train our AI on your prints unless you specifically opt in.

Frequently asked questions

Both - per school. The district can cover schools centrally, schools with their own budgets can bill separately, and you can mix the two models across the district and change later.
District volume pricing counts every printer across all your schools together - the whole district climbs the volume discount as one, up to 45% off per printer, so a small school with two printers pays the same low per-printer rate as your biggest lab. District-managed schools also get a reduced per-school base fee with no two-printer minimum, and AI failure detection is included free. Book a demo and we'll quote your district.
Yes. Add printers or whole schools any time from the district panel - billing is metered automatically at the next cycle, so a school that connects more printers simply pays for them, and one that scales down pays less. No sales cycle in the loop.
Connect the district's identity provider once - Google Workspace, Microsoft Entra ID, Clever, ClassLink or any SAML/OIDC provider - and share it with every managed school. Students and staff sign in with the account they already use. More on SSO for education.
Send us your school list in any format - a spreadsheet, a table, anything - and we set them all up for you. You can also add schools yourself, one at a time, from your district panel. Each school gets its own account, printers, teachers and classes under the district umbrella. See the onboarding journey.
Yes. We have signed the SDPC / TEC multi-state NDPA (Standard v1.0) - eligible districts in MA, ME, CO, IL, IA, MO, NH, NE, NJ, OH, RI, TN, VT, VA and WA subscribe via the General Offer of Privacy Terms, no renegotiation. Other states and international districts get a custom DPA - email [email protected].
Yes - that's the model. The district sets the standards (user groups, safety-course gates, quota policies, SSO) and each school runs its own printers, teachers and classes inside them.
