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, Additive Manufacturing, 3D Printing, Digital Manufacturing, and Supply Chain Security.
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.
Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/identify3d: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
