How sellers, makers, and designers work together
Asmbly Labs coordinates people and production through a transparent, predictable system. Each participant knows their role, and the platform handles coordination automatically.
Connect your role
Users join as a Seller, Maker, or Designer. Each role has clear responsibilities and requirements. Sellers don't need equipment ownership—they focus on product listings and customer service.
- Sellers: List products and handle customer relationships
- Makers: Fulfill orders using 3D printing equipment
- Designers: License STL files and earn royalties
Set up products or capabilities
Configure your profile based on your role. Sellers select from a catalog of available designs and set pricing, designers license STL files for use, and makers define their materials, capacity, and availability.
- Choose products from the catalog and set pricing strategies
- Define production capabilities and material options
- License design files with royalty terms
Orders route automatically
When customers place orders, the system automatically matches them to nearby qualified makers. Routing considers material compatibility, quality standards, and delivery speed requirements. No manual coordination needed.
- Location-based maker matching for faster delivery
- Material and capability verification before routing
- Quality standards and capacity considerations
Produce, verify, and deliver
Makers receive orders, 3D print items according to specifications, and perform quality checks. Orders are then delivered locally or made available for pickup. Status updates are tracked automatically throughout the process.
- Print according to exact specifications and quality standards
- Quality verification before delivery or pickup
- Automatic status tracking and updates
Payouts and ongoing participation
Sellers, makers, and designers are paid automatically based on completed orders. Performance metrics and quality scores improve future order routing. The system continues operating without reconfiguration.
- Automatic payouts based on role and performance
- Quality metrics influence future order routing
- Continuous operation without manual reconfiguration
