Free desktop app
3 ways to add your spool
With or without a chip, your QIDI filament goes into your inventory.
- 01
Link the RFID chip
Set the spool on the TigerPOD Mini and link its chip, once, to a spool of your inventory. From then on, setting it down opens its card.
- 02
From the catalogue
The 144 QIDI products are already in the app's catalogue: pick yours, and its material, colour and settings come with it.

Barcode and TigerQR+
Scan the box's barcode: the catalogue finds the exact product. Then print the spool's TigerQR+: scanning it opens the spool.

QIDI RFID chip
Nothing is written to your chip
The QIDI chip is encrypted. Tiger Studio does not read its content and writes nothing to it: it recognises the chip by its ID. Your spool stays as it came out of the box, and your printer reads it as before.
A TigerQR+ for every QIDI spool
Every QIDI product in the catalogue has its TigerQR+, on its page. Here is the one for QIDI Tech PLA Rapido Red: pick the format of your label printer, print it, stick it on the spool.

Frequently asked questions
Does Tiger Studio work with QIDI RFID chips?
Yes. It recognises the chip by its ID and links it to a spool of your inventory. It does not read its encrypted content and writes nothing to it.
Can I add a QIDI spool without a chip?
Yes: from the catalogue, which holds 144 QIDI products, with the box's barcode, or by hand.
What happens when I set the spool down again?
On the TigerPOD Mini, a linked spool opens straight away. On the TigerScale, its weight updates.
Does it change my QIDI spool?
No. Nothing is written to the chip: the spool stays as it is and your printer reads it as before.
