IP & Ownership

Your artwork stays yours

Uploading an image or importing an NFT grants us no ownership of the artwork. We receive only the limited licence needed to produce your order: storing the image, generating a 3D model from it, printing the object, photographing it for QC, and keeping an order record.

The physical print is yours

You own the physical object we ship you, including the engraved base if you added one. It is not a blockchain token, and buying a print transfers no copyright in the underlying artwork — you own the thing, not the rights to the picture on it.

What the engraved base records

The engraved base is an optional extra, priced at checkout. When you add it, each of the plinth's four sides carries at most one line:

• Front — the words you choose, in capital letters. The piece's name (and number, where it fits) is filled in by default; you can change it or leave the front blank.
• Back and side, for wallet imports — the source contract, shortened (for example 0x3FA4...C21B), and the chain and token ID, shortened if very long. The full contract and token ID are kept with your order and shown on its tracking page. This record is on by default and you can switch it off, which leaves both sides blank.
• Other side — the serial number assigned to your piece. It is always cut: it is how the object leads back to its order.
• Uploaded artwork — no contract, ever. There is no contract address to record, and we don't invent one.

Lettering is cut into the surface, not painted, so it reads by shadow. Some Solana mint addresses cannot be cut legibly in matte PLA or full-color sandstone: those whose shortened form contains a g, j, p, q or y, and in sandstone also an i. The preview shows that side greyed out, and the full address is kept with your order and shown on its tracking page instead.

That engraving is the provenance record in full: the piece carries its origin on itself rather than in a separate document. It is a factual statement of where the artwork came from, not an endorsement by — or affiliation with — the collection's creators. The words on the front are yours, and so is the responsibility for them — see the Terms of Service.

Owning an NFT ≠ owning merchandising rights

What you may do with an NFT's artwork is set by the licence its creator attached to the collection — some allow full commercial use, some personal use only, some almost nothing. It is your responsibility to check the collection's licence before printing. By ordering you confirm you hold the rights (or permission) to make a physical reproduction.

Takedowns and disputes

If you believe a print order infringes your rights, email workshop@nft3d.ai with: identification of the work, the allegedly infringing artwork or order, your contact details, and a good-faith statement that the use is unauthorized. We review promptly, pause affected orders while we investigate, and cancel (with refund to the buyer) orders we reasonably believe infringe. Repeat infringers are barred from the service.
