Security & IP

Your designs are the whole business. We treat them that way.

Every quote starts with someone trusting us with unreleased product geometry. These are the commitments that trust rests on.

Your IP stays yours

Uploading files grants us exactly one license: to manufacture your order. We never reuse, share, resell or train on your designs. Full stop.

Encrypted transfer & storage

Files move over TLS 1.2+ and rest in private, access-controlled object storage. Nothing is ever exposed on public URLs.

Controlled access

Only the engineers and operators assigned to your order can open your files. Access is logged and role-restricted.

NDA before disclosure

Request our mutual NDA — or send yours — before sharing anything. B2B programs routinely run NDA-first.

Deletion on request

Ask, and your files are purged from active systems and backups on the next cycle — with written confirmation.

Subprocessor discipline

Metal partner jobs travel with only the geometry needed to build, under our supplier confidentiality terms.

File lifecycle

  3. 3

    Production

    Released to the production cell for the duration of the job

  4. 4

  5. 5

    Deletion

    Purged on request, or automatically for inactive guest uploads after 30 days

Need an NDA first?

Sensible. Request our mutual NDA and share nothing until it's signed — or start a quote and tick "Request NDA before sharing files" in the review dialog.
