The short version

  • Each has a real cost: 3YOURMIND no pricing is published, and the suite is modular, so the quoted figure depends on which of the three product lines you take; the widely repeated 10,000 euro figure comes from third-party directories, not the vendor.; GENESIS Version 11 the name has changed twice, from GENESIS64 to GENESIS Version 11 with an Iconics-to-Mitsubishi ownership shift, so documentation, forum answers and integrator experience are split across three product identities.
  • They diverge on capability: 3YOURMIND covers Part identification, GENESIS Version 11 covers Unlimited tag licensing.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 1 September 2026.

What people use each for

The jobs each tool is most often brought in to do.

3YOURMIND

  • A navy or defence logistics organisation setting up distributed on-demand manufacturing for spares at forward sitesnot GENESIS Version 11
  • An energy operator screening a legacy spare parts catalogue to find which items are cheaper printed on demand than stockednot GENESIS Version 11
  • An additive service bureau automating quoting and order intake so engineers stop pricing jobs by handnot GENESIS Version 11

GENESIS Version 11

  • A university or hospital estate adding buildings every year that no longer wants a licence negotiation for each expansionnot 3YOURMIND
  • A data centre operator needing power and cooling status overlaid on a 3D floor model rather than a line diagramnot 3YOURMIND
  • A water utility wanting pump station status on a GIS map alongside historised flow and pressure datanot 3YOURMIND
  • A Mitsubishi Electric factory automation site wanting supervisory visualisation from the same vendor as the controllersnot 3YOURMIND

Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

3YOURMIND

  • No pricing is published, and the suite is modular, so the quoted figure depends on which of the three product lines you take; the widely repeated 10,000 euro figure comes from third-party directories, not the vendor.
  • The part identification module only produces useful output if ERP master data and consumption history are clean, and organisations with poor material master data spend the first phase on data quality rather than printing.
  • It is enterprise-scale software aimed at fleets and networks; a shop with a handful of machines gets more from a printer vendor own job management at no extra cost.
  • Machine integration depth varies by manufacturer, so a mixed fleet including smaller or newer OEMs often needs manual steps that undermine the automated scheduling case.
  • The company is a mid-sized independent in a sector that has consolidated heavily, and buyers making a multi-year distributed manufacturing commitment are exposed to that if ownership changes.

GENESIS Version 11

  • The name has changed twice, from GENESIS64 to GENESIS Version 11 with an Iconics-to-Mitsubishi ownership shift, so documentation, forum answers and integrator experience are split across three product identities.
  • Unlimited licensing sets a high floor: a small site with a few hundred points pays for capacity it cannot use, and tag-priced competitors remain cheaper below a few thousand points.
  • It is a Windows and Microsoft-stack product, depending on SQL Server and Windows services, so Linux-first or containerised deployment strategies do not apply to it.
  • Mitsubishi Electric now owns it outright, and roadmap priorities follow that group’s factory automation strategy rather than the independent building-automation direction Iconics previously set.
  • The 3D and GIS visualisation that distinguishes it takes real modelling effort to populate, and estates that skip that work end up with an expensive licence driving conventional 2D screens.

Answered from the vendors’ own pages

3YOURMIND: What does 3YOURMIND cost?

The vendor publishes nothing. Expect an annual subscription quoted per module, plus integration work. Third-party listings cite roughly 10,000 euro a year as an entry point, which should be treated as unverified.

GENESIS Version 11: Is GENESIS64 discontinued?

It has been superseded. GENESIS Version 11 is the current release and the name GENESIS64 is retired.

3YOURMIND: Is it a slicer?

No. It sits above build preparation, handling part selection, orders, scheduling and traceability, and integrates with preparation tools such as Netfabb and Magics.

GENESIS Version 11: Does version 11 really have no tag limits?

Yes, tag, user and device counting was removed in version 11. Licensing is by module instead.

3YOURMIND: Who actually uses it?

Large asset operators and service bureaus. Public references include US Navy distributed manufacturing and energy sector digital inventory programmes.

GENESIS Version 11: Who owns Iconics now?

Mitsubishi Electric, which took full ownership. Iconics continues to operate under its own name from Massachusetts.

3YOURMIND: Can it run on-premise?

Yes. On-premise deployment is offered, which matters for defence and critical infrastructure customers.

GENESIS Version 11: Can it act as a building management system on its own?

It is the supervisory and analytics layer. It reads BACnet and building controllers but does not replace field-level plant controllers.
