📦 TigerSystem-Docs - Manage your 3D printing filaments easily

📖 What is TigerSystem?

TigerSystem provides a standard way to track and manage your 3D printing materials. It uses smart tags to identify the specific type, brand, and remaining length of your filament spools. This system prevents common printing errors and helps you keep an accurate inventory of your supplies.

This software works with standard RFID tags. You attach these tags to your spool holders or directly to the filament rolls. The application reads these tags to ensure your 3D printer uses the right settings for every job.

💻 System Requirements

You need a computer running Windows 10 or Windows 11 to use this software. Ensure you have at least 200 megabytes of storage space available. You will also need an RFID reader station connected to your computer via USB to perform tag scans.
