3DLT, a platform for 3D printing as-a-service, is pleased to announce its collaboration with Authentise. 3DLT will implement key elements of Authentise’s technology to offer a streaming option for retailers and consumers who seek 3D printable computer aided design (CAD) files.

“From the beginning, 3DLT has been focused on delivering 3D printable content,” says CEO John Hauer. “The streaming technology provided by Authentise provides us with an important new licensing option, helping 3DLT better control the use of digital assets offered on our platform.”

The tools supplied by Authentise will help confirm that the 3D printable files supplied by 3DLT are printed in accordance with their terms of license. This will not only ensure that the appropriate parties are compensated each time an item is printed, but will also provide design owners with additional peace of mind regarding their intellectual property. Since editable .STL  files aren’t supplied, they can’t be easily modified by the end user.

“Intellectual property rights management is an important part of 3DLT’s offering,” says Hauer. “Building on our earlier collaboration with 3D Industri.es, we’re not only taking proactive steps to validate IP ownership, but with Authentise, also better securing the designs available on our platform. Retailers stand to gain a significant competitive advantage by offering 3D printing as-a-service. These partnerships reinforce the value of 3DLT’s platform in helping them capitalize on that opportunity.”

Further, the software offers significant benefits to the producers of 3D printed products.  Because the files can be printed directly from a web page, they make production easier, faster, and more accessible. The software also provides in-depth analytics, including the location, type of device used, print duration and other important information that can be shared with file owners, helping them improve the design of their products.

“Authentise is delighted to be working with 3DLT”, says Andre Wegner, CEO of Authentise. “Together we will be able to unlock further high quality designs for printing, making the 3D printing industry a more vibrant place. With our streaming service in place, brands and content owners now have exciting ways to engage with this buoyant market.”
