Layerwyse

Layerwyse is a pricing and business management toolkit for 3D-printing creators.
It helps makers calculate accurate costs, track projects, understand profitability, and eventually send invoices — turning a 3D-printing hobby into a sustainable business.

This project is built on top of the Next.js SaaS Starter, providing:

• Authentication
• Protected dashboard
• Postgres + Drizzle ORM
• User/team management
• Middleware-protected routes
• A scalable structure for SaaS apps

Layerwyse customizes this foundation into a full toolset for 3D-printing businesses.
