Our Commercial License program generates the most questions from prospective print farm operators. This comprehensive FAQ addresses every common question about licensing, rights, limitations, and business opportunities.
What Does the License Include
The 3DCentral Commercial License grants subscribers unlimited physical printing rights for every design in our licensed catalog. You can print as many units as you want, in any material and color, and sell them through any channel — Etsy, Amazon, craft markets, your own website, or wholesale to retailers. The license covers physical reproductions only; digital file redistribution is never permitted.
How Does Billing Work
The Commercial License is a monthly recurring subscription billed through Stripe. Your license is active from the moment of subscription and remains valid as long as payments continue. If you cancel, your rights to print and sell licensed designs end immediately. There is no annual commitment — you can subscribe for a single month to test the program.
Can I Modify Licensed Designs
Yes, within reasonable limits. Scaling, color changes, and minor modifications for printability are permitted. Fundamental redesigns that create derivative works require separate written permission. The intent is that you print and sell the designs as the artists created them, not use them as starting points for entirely new creations.
What About International Sales
The license covers worldwide sales of physical prints. You can sell to customers in any country. However, you are responsible for complying with local regulations regarding product safety, labeling, and import duties in each market you serve.
How Do I Get Started
Visit our Commercial License page, select your subscription, and complete payment through Stripe. Your license activates immediately, and you gain instant access to our full STL library. Download designs, configure your printer settings, and start producing inventory. Most new licensees have their first products listed for sale within 48 hours of subscribing.
