The people who fight, every day, for open source and the liberation of filament RFID — so that a spool's identity belongs to its owner, readable by anyone, locked by no one.
"Made for Makers. Open to Everyone. Born from the community, TigerTag empowers users with real data and total freedom. 100 % open-source, it connects your material, printers, and brands under one universal language today and tomorrow. Join the movement. Connect your world with TigerTag."
Vision: Cheap & Reusable.
Benoit started TigerTag in 2023, right after a Formnext where proprietary spool tags were multiplying — and flew to China to convince printer makers and filament factories that an open, neutral, cross-platform standard was the better path (the full story).
3D France is a partner that has supported the project's open-source and ecological vision from the very beginning — and pushed filament manufacturers to integrate TigerTag into their spools.
A real maker bench, the whole system in use — this is what the fight is for.
- The factory partners who chose the open chip over a walled garden — Rosa3D, eSun, Sunlu, Landu, Jamg He, R3D — with Filforme, Nanovia and more being integrated.
- The independent builders who picked up the protocol on their own — OpenRFID, Spooly Tracker, the Snapmaker U1 community firmware (third-party integrations).
- The community — the makers who tag, weigh, share, report, translate and push the whole thing forward, one spool at a time.
TODO: add further team members (name, role, one-liner) as they wish to appear publicly.
