MatterHackers, Inc.

MatterHackers, Inc. is a U.S.-based company that concentrates on the additive-manufacturing workflow, acting as both a hardware reseller and the developer of MatterControl, an open-source desktop suite that consolidates every pre-print stage into one interface. Users can rough-out models with the built-in CAD tools, generate support structures, slice with customizable profiles for hundreds of filament types, queue jobs across multiple printers, and monitor progress through a browser or phone. Typical scenarios include educators batch-preparing student projects, engineers iterating functional prototypes in ASA or PETG, and hobbyists calibrating resin or FDM settings without jumping between Meshmixer, Cura, and OctoPrint. Because the codebase is public, advanced operators compile custom forks to add tool-changer macros or experimental kinematics, while beginners rely on the guided setup wizard and cloud-based material presets. The publisher also maintains an integrated marketplace for print-ready files and certified filaments, so a design can move from concept to first layer in minutes. MatterHackers’ software is available free of charge on get.nero.com; the single-package listing is delivered through trusted Windows sources such as winget, always installs the newest release, and can be pulled in bulk alongside other applications for unattended setup.
