Security architecture

Four pillars of 3D print security

3D print files contain the complete geometry of your parts. A leaked STL or G-code file can be reverse-engineered, counterfeited, or used by a competitor. 3DPrinterOS treats every design file as sensitive IP by default.

Data residency control

You choose where your data lives. Our hosted cloud runs on Microsoft Azure with U.S.-based data centers. Or deploy on your own servers, your own Azure, AWS, or Google Cloud account. No design files are ever routed through third-party or overseas infrastructure without your explicit choice.

Authentication and access

Enterprise SSO via SAML 2.0, Shibboleth, OKTA, and InCommon. Role-based permissions control who can upload files, start prints, manage printers, or view analytics. Every action is tied to an authenticated user identity.

Audit trail and accountability

Complete print job history with user attribution: who submitted what file, when it was printed, on which printer, with which material settings, and whether it succeeded or failed. Exportable logs for compliance reporting, incident investigation, and operational analysis.

Encrypted transport

All data in transit is encrypted via TLS. Files are encrypted as they move from the platform to the Cloud Client on your local network. Patented Secure Streaming Technology ensures the complete design file is never stored on the printer itself.

Deployment options

Two ways to deploy. Both fully secure.

Every organization has different security requirements. Some need a managed, certified cloud. Others need to keep every byte on their own hardware. 3DPrinterOS supports both.

Managed cloud

3DPrinterOS on Microsoft Azure

Secure Streaming: files never stored on the printer

3DPrinterOS uses patented Secure Streaming Technology to send print data to the printer in real time, layer by layer. The complete design file is never stored on the printer's local storage or SD card.

If a printer is stolen, decommissioned, or physically accessed by an unauthorized person, no design files can be recovered from it. The file exists only on your secured server, streamed through encrypted channels during the active print job and discarded immediately after each layer is executed. This eliminates an entire class of IP theft vector that traditional 3D printing workflows leave open: the file sitting on a USB stick, an SD card, or the printer's internal memory.

Compliance and frameworks

Built for the way regulated organizations buy software

Procurement teams at state agencies, public universities, and defense contractors need vendors that can answer security questionnaires, not dodge them. Here is what we bring to the table.

State government

TX-RAMP certification

Our hosted Azure deployment holds TX-RAMP certification from the Texas Department of Information Resources. We have passed security assessments aligned with NIST 800-53 controls, covering data protection, access management, incident response, and continuous monitoring. Required for Texas state agencies and public universities since January 2022.

Higher education

HECVAT ready

The Higher Education Community Vendor Assessment Tool is the standard security questionnaire used by U.S. universities during procurement. 3DPrinterOS maintains completed HECVAT documentation, so your procurement team does not have to wait weeks for answers. If your institution requires a HECVAT review, we can provide the completed assessment on request.

Defense and aerospace

ITAR and CMMC support

Our private server deployment enables organizations to maintain ITAR and CMMC compliance by keeping all data on customer-controlled, U.S.-based infrastructure. 3DPrinterOS does not require cloud connectivity in air-gapped configurations, ensuring that export-controlled design data never leaves the facility.

Enterprise

Vendor security reviews

For Fortune 500 and enterprise accounts, we support standard vendor security review processes including security questionnaires, architecture review calls, and penetration test result sharing. Our team works directly with your InfoSec and procurement teams to address requirements specific to your organization.
