ReceptionRating · Positive reviews · Number of ratings

Printing 3D holds the better App Store score, 3.5 against 2.9. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 3D Printing has 36 ratings behind it against 4, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews complicate that: 0% of Printing 3D's written reviews are positive against 17% of 3D Printing's, so the app with the better star average is not the one people write more warmly about.

UpkeepUpdate frequency

Printing 3D ships an update every 4 days, 3D Printing every 2 weeks. Both last shipped on October 24, 2026.
