AstroPrint is a cloud platform and application marketplace designed for consumer 3D printing by 3DaGoGo Inc., a private San Diego–based technology company.
Along with the AstroBox Touch, AstroPrint released cross-platform desktop and mobile apps alongside a public API designed to enhance the 3D printing experience on its platform.
[11] In July 2015, AstroPrint received coverage by the San Diego Business Journal for enabling Dr. Peter Manning at the National Institutes of Health to print 3-dimensional models of a two-year-old boy's heart.
The models, which helped to fix the network of coronary vessels that caused the boy's health problems, were allegedly made possible due to AstroPrint's simplicity.
[19] AstroPrint is compatible with many consumer 3D printers and devices, including the Raspberry Pi, and provides an API that allows third-parties to extend its capabilities.
