Although the 3D printing community is famous for being one offering an open-source dynamic and participating in a great amount of trust and sharing, that doesn’t mean certain tools and designs aren’t protected–and it also doesn’t mean that intellectual property issues can’t arise. On the business level, when designs are being considered and new products are going to be rolled out down the line, security is a requirement. In a fledgling industry though, many may not know where to turn when it comes to using a variety of new tools offered online, as well as protecting subsequent files with valuable content, whether in progress or completed.
Application developers now have a space for allowing a larger audience to access an expanded and integrated workflow and a ‘pay-per-use’ atmosphere.
“Our security solutions are already used by leading 3D enabled businesses. Now we’re making it even easier for application developers and corporations to deliver 3D content to manufacturing and beyond by giving them access to all the tools they need in one place,” says Andre Wegner, CEO of Authentise. “We’re excited to be working with leading organizations such as Siemens as well as startups to bring their tools to a broad audience.”
Headquartered at the NASA Research Park campus in Mountain View, CA, Authentise’s mission is centered in providing quality middleware in manufacturing as well as solutions that help companies at the top of their field ease into new technologies like 3D printing. Part of that is in providing secure, safe solutions like 3DIAX which allow companies to open their tools and those of third parties to industry stakeholders.
“Not only is Cults able to get going on releases faster because all the tools we need are under one roof, but with Diax, we can also easily switch providers or integrate new services with just one line of code,” said Sunny Ripert, CTO of French 3D printable file sharing platform Cults.
