3DQue Introduces Lifetime Licensing Option for AutoFarm3D
Vancouver‑based 3DQue announced a lifetime licensing option for its AutoFarm3D print‑farm management platform. The service, previously sold as a per‑printer subscription at $10 /mo for Lite and $30 /mo for Standard, will now be available as a one‑time perpetual license. Pricing has not been disclosed, though analysts speculate it could equal roughly two years of subscription fees. The move targets large‑scale operations that prefer capital expenditures over ongoing costs.
