Identify3D developed software to secure the digital (additive / 3D-printing) manufacturing supply chain by encrypting, distributing, and tracing digital part files, so that a part could only be produced by an authorized user, machine, and material and non-conforming or counterfeit parts could not enter the physical supply chain. The suite coupled part designs with production criteria (designated user, machine, material) and provided intellectual-property protection, digital-rights management, and traceability for distributed manufacturing. Founded in San Francisco and backed by Uncork Capital, Identify3D was acquired by Materialise NV in October 2021 and its technology was folded into the Materialise CO-AM distributed-manufacturing platform. The company no longer operates a standalone product, developer portal, or public API; this profile is retained in the API Evangelist network for historical and VC portfolio-graph purposes.
Identify3D is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, 3D Printing, Digital Manufacturing, Supply Chain Security, and Digital Rights Management.
Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the
Horizontal (data, software, accessibility, platform) regime, so
Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite.
If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your
provider repo — the
applicability map is public and we will correct it.
Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for
this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero:
never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and
several others — scorable at all.
The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them,
because the conditional facet above carries the other
15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped
maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal
weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Agent readiness — checks not met, largest first (exact, from this profile):
Machine-Readable Auth+10 pts — a served openid-configuration/oauth-authorization-server carrying `issuer` (served), else the securitySchemes class in the provider OpenAPIs — bound (mutualTLS, DPoP, Signature) > negotiable (oauth2 authorizationCode/clientCredentials, openIdConnect) > bearer (http bearer, apiKey)
Idempotency+9 pts — OpenAPI mutating operations declare an idempotency key — a header, a request-body property, or a named de-duplication token whose own description says so (verified); else common[].type matches /idempoten/i (documented)
Stable Error Semantics+8 pts — OpenAPI $refs a shared error schema across 4xx/5xx responses (verified), else common[].type includes ErrorCatalog / ErrorCodes / DeclineCodes
13 more unmet checks in the Agent Readiness table above.
