Manyfold

What is Manyfold?

Manyfold is an open-source, self-hosted web application designed for organizing and managing collections of 3D print files. It supports multiple file formats including STL, OBJ, and 3MF, providing users with an interactive 3D viewer for browsing their models. The application allows users to categorize files through tags, creators, and collections while adding custom metadata such as source information, notes, and print compatibility details. The platform caters to makers, hobbyists, and professionals who work with 3D printing files and need centralized file management. Key features include automatic file reorganization on disk based on user-defined tags and customizable naming conventions, eliminating manual file sorting. Manyfold also supports content sharing through public or private access and integrates with the Fediverse, enabling users to follow and share content across federated instances. As a self-hosted solution, Manyfold gives users complete control over their data and collections. The open-source nature allows developers to modify and extend functionality according to specific needs. The application serves as a practical utility for anyone managing a substantial 3D model library who requires robust organizational tools and doesn't want to rely on cloud-based solutions.
