Under the hood

## Built to beinvisible.

Bridge waits in your menu bar or system tray and only does something when a part arrives.

<dl>

<dt>**Discovery**</dt>
<dd>Bridge announces itself on your network with Bonjour (mDNS), so there’s nothing to type on your iPad.</dd>

<dt>**Pairing**</dt>
<dd>Each iPad pairs once. Every transfer after that is signed with that device’s own key, so only your devices can send.</dd>

<dt>**Slicers**</dt>
<dd>Finds Orca Slicer, Bambu Studio and Creality Print on your computer, or opens the file in the app you use for STL files.</dd>

<dt>**Privacy**</dt>
<dd>Parts go straight from your iPad to your computer over your local network. Nothing passes through the cloud.</dd>

<dt>**Footprint**</dt>
<dd>Under 10 MB to download and under 15 MB of memory while it runs.</dd></dl>

## **iPad can’t find Bridge?**

<details>

<summary>**Are both devices on the same network? **</summary>



Your iPad and computer need to be on the same Wi-Fi or local network. Guest networks and some office networks keep devices apart; try your home network.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Is Bridge running? **</summary>



Look for the Bridge icon in the menu bar on Mac, or in the system tray on Windows and Linux. If it isn’t there, open Part3D Bridge again.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Is a firewall blocking it? **</summary>



Bridge listens on port 8844. If your computer asks whether Part3D Bridge may accept incoming connections, allow it, or add the port to your firewall’s allowed list.

</details>

<details>

<summary>**Using Linux? **</summary>



Discovery uses Avahi on Linux. Make sure the avahi-daemon service is installed and running.

</details>

## **Don’t have Part3D yet?**

Bridge is free with every copy of Part3D.
