Everything in one app
BedReady for Desktop bundles the tools you already use on the website with the workflow tools you'd otherwise juggle in spreadsheets — all local, all in one window.
The full converter
Everything the web converter does — .3mf → U1, colors preserved, Full Spectrum for >4 colors, spool-swap fixes — plus STL ⇄ 3MF, right on your desktop.
Color Studio
Plan and mix filament colors, build recipes, and preview how they'll actually print on the U1 before you load a spool.
Print files
Keep your U1-ready files organized in one place — convert, tag, and re-open them without digging through downloads.
Filament inventory
Track the spools you own so color planning and slot assignment match what's actually loaded.
Print queue
Line up what to print next and keep your maker workflow moving — no spreadsheet required.
Cost calculator
Estimate filament and print cost per model so you know what a print really costs before you start.
App or browser?
🌐 The website
Best for a quick, one-off conversion. Nothing to install — open /convert, drop a file, done.
🖥️ The app
Best as your everyday workbench: the same conversion plus Color Studio, a file library, filament inventory, a print queue and cost — all offline in one place.

Does it work offline, and is my file uploaded?
It runs entirely on your machine — convert, preview and organize files with no internet and nothing uploaded. Your models never leave your computer.
Which platforms are supported?
macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows. It's a native desktop app built for the maker workflow, not a browser tab.
How is it different from the website converter?

Do I need a Snapmaker U1?
The converter and profiles are tuned for the Snapmaker U1, but the color tools, STL ⇄ 3MF and file management are useful for any multicolor FDM workflow.
