3DOS chooses Sui as the exclusive blockchain partner to power its global decentralized peer-to-peer manufacturing network

Sui, a cutting-edge Layer 1 blockchain, announced a strategic alliance with 3DOS™, a leading innovator in decentralized manufacturing. The alliance promises to solve the coordination problems plaguing the $15.6 trillion global manufacturing market by coupling 3DOS’s expansive network of 3D printers, manufacturers, and customers with Sui’s advanced decentralized blockchain technologies. Sui’s industry-first zkLogin technology will make onboarding new users particularly easy for 3DOS by natively allowing millions of people to access the service using traditional social accounts like Google or Twitch.

Prior to engaging with Sui, the 3DOS founders pioneered one of the world’s first 3D printing operating systems and achieved remarkable results. So far, the platform has over 500,000 users, has manufactured 4.2 million parts, and has supported more than 15 million CAD designs across 120+ countries. Customers include John Deere, Google, MIT, Harvard, CalTech, UC Berkeley, Bosch, the British Army, the US Navy, the US Air Force, and NASA. These customers are currently being onboarded onto the network that 3DOS™ is building on Sui.

The current partnership adds to 3DOS the redundancy, transparency, speed, and flexibility inherent in leveraging Sui’s industry-leading decentralized technology platform.

“At 3DOS, we believe that manufacturing should be decentralized. By tapping Sui to power our infrastructure, we now have the technology to enable this massive shift in our industry,” said John Dogru, Founder and CEO of 3DOS. “3DOS is a 3D Operating System, bridging the digital world to the physical world, allowing anyone to access manufacturing capacity and 3D printers anywhere empowering local producers and eliminating waste, inventory, and the carbon footprint associated with international shipping.”

Together, the technological innovations of the Sui and 3DOS combination will enable the massive global manufacturing industry to harness the power of localized production and eliminate the inefficiencies of high operational costs, and limited accessibility that currently plague it. The 3DOS/Sui solution addresses these continuing challenges and also vastly expands the world’s manufacturing potential by connecting siloed 3D printing capacity to massive demand around the world. In the process, the partners’ decentralized approach will reduce costs, democratize manufacturing, and open up new economic opportunities globally.

“Improving manufacturing processes is one of the world’s most important challenges, and the infrastructure that 3DOS is building on Sui marks a significant advancement that will catalyze economic growth and technological innovation,” said Adeniyi Abiodun, Chief Product Officer and Co-Founder of Mysten Labs which developed the Sui Network. “Through this partnership with 3DOS, Sui is helping to create a global decentralized manufacturing network that empowers more individuals and businesses to participate in the production of physical goods.”

The 3DOS platform leverages smart contracts on Sui to eliminate the overhead typically associated with coordinating supply and demand, which traditionally requires thousands of employees at Web2 companies and banks. By programming governing rules and processes directly into Sui’s blockchain, 3DOS achieves near-zero human intervention and infinite scalability. This approach optimizes resource efficiency and enhances supply chain transparency, reducing waste, improving cost-effectiveness, ensuring quality assurance, and facilitating global collaboration—all while empowering a diverse range of creators and innovators.
