Compatibility

How TigerSystem works with each printer ecosystem. Two independent axes:

• Printer link — Tiger Studio talking to the machine over the LAN (telemetry, filament slots, job, camera). Six brands are live today.
• Native RFID — reading the vendor’s own spool tags. Documented per vendor. Direct in-app decoding is not integrated yet (the right interoperability model is still an open question); the current work aims at converting vendor tag data into TigerData digital spools, so filament from other brands can be scanned and managed in the ecosystem. Meanwhile, the TigerTag chip itself already works with every printer via the smartphone bridge.

Note: the per-vendor RFID sheets (read-only decoding specs, derived from the OpenRFID project) are maintained in the Tiger Studio repo under docs/rfid-vendors/ — they are linked, not duplicated, here.

Beyond printers

Compatibility isn’t only about printers: see the growing list of compatible third-party hardware — NFC readers, filament analyzers, USB scales — and the software built on TigerTag.

The universal answer

Whatever the printer: stick a TigerTag chip on the spool and the whole ecosystem works — identification, inventory, weight, sharing, and filament data pushed to any of the six integrated brands.
