Volum documentation

Your private 3D library, properly organized.

Start on one computer, bring projects to the workbench, or run an always-on library on hardware you control.

Choose a setup

One library. Three ways to use it.

Begin with Desktop. Add mobile or a dedicated server only when your workflow needs them.

Install Volum, connect existing model folders, and build previews locally.

Browse projects, capture photos, and keep selected work available offline.

Run volumd in Docker on a NAS or home server you manage.

Desktop + Companion

Pair a trusted phone through Tailscale to take project details, photos, parts, and assembly steps where you print.

Direct connection. Your device talks to your Desktop or server, not a Volum cloud.
Offline selections. Keep chosen projects available when the host sleeps.
Revocable access. Every paired device gets its own token.

Popular guides

Choose between linked folders and a managed library.

Connect over your Tailnet with a short-lived pairing code.

Deploy volumd and verify the first client connection.

Check health, Tailscale, pairing, permissions, and storage.
