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.; Prodsmart the product has been absorbed into the Autodesk Fusion family, so the standalone brand, pricing page and channel that earlier reviews describe no longer reflect how it is bought, and buyers must evaluate the current Autodesk packaging instead.
  • They diverge on capability: 3YOURMIND covers Part identification, Prodsmart covers Mobile shop floor declarations.
  • Prices and features above were last checked on 31 August 2026.

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.

Prodsmart

  • The product has been absorbed into the Autodesk Fusion family, so the standalone brand, pricing page and channel that earlier reviews describe no longer reflect how it is bought, and buyers must evaluate the current Autodesk packaging instead.
  • All data originates from operator declarations, so accuracy depends entirely on shop floor discipline, and a plant that cannot enforce scanning gets confident charts built on incomplete input.
  • Because it reads nothing from machines, it cannot detect a stoppage the operator does not report, which means downtime analysis captures what people admit to rather than what happened.
  • Scheduling and planning are shallow compared with a full MES or ERP, so most customers still plan elsewhere and use Prodsmart for execution only.
  • Support and account management now run through a very large software vendor, and small manufacturers frequently report longer response paths than they had with the original company.

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.

Prodsmart: Who owns Prodsmart?

Autodesk acquired it in 2022 and has integrated it into the Fusion product family as its operations offering.

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.

Prodsmart: Does it need my machines to be connected?

No. That is the central design decision. Operators declare production on mobile devices.

3YOURMIND: Who actually uses it?

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

Prodsmart: Is it a full MES?

It covers execution, traceability and basic OEE. Detailed scheduling, quality workflows and controller level data are not its scope.

3YOURMIND: Can it run on-premise?

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

Prodsmart: Can I still buy it as a standalone product?

It is sold through Autodesk. Confirm the current packaging and pricing with Autodesk rather than relying on pre acquisition material.
