Selling Designs and 3D prints

[Anonymous]

The only post i saw about this was from 2015 and kind of conflicted with a few things i read in the Terms and Conditions. I am a 1 man army with a 3D printer. I’m looking to design and sell stl files and prints on websites like fiverr or treatstocks. I was wondering if i was allowed to do this. To elaborate i am using the Personal license and am currently within my 1 year free subscription.

Hi,

Thanks for posting. I always like people like you who are trying to do something productive with the software.

But, Personal license is limited to:

• Individuals with non-commercial personal design projects.
• Individuals doing home-based non-commercial manufacturing and fabrication.

If you want to sell something, why don't you start something new? May be a start up with some unique idea and designs? Autodesk offers startup license for 1 year (may be you can extend for more). I think you should apply for this. Your time for traditional goods design can also be used for unique ideas and who knows it may make someone's life better! I also am planning to start something new, that's why I told you all these.

Startups license is for:

• Businesses less than 3 years old.
• Businesses with 10 or fewer employees.
• Businesses (including parent entities) generating less than $100,000 USD in gross annual revenue.
• Businesses designing and/or manufacturing their own physical products.
• Businesses willing to share their story with the Autodesk Fusion 360 community.
• Service providers, resellers, contract manufacturers, and consultants doing work for other companies do not qualify for Fusion 360 for startups.

Good luck!

I followed the link you posted and it seems more for actual businesses, i would just be doing my own thing and selling the prints or files, would this still qualify for the start up license?

Yes, Startup license is applied to that also. 🙂 But, I just suggested to think about a little bit bigger picture.

Can I sell products using my student license?

No the license doesn't allow.

That's a very illogical answer! The correct answer is: no, you can't.

Forcing users into your client use cases because you have no method of guaranteeing you are making the most money, is not an answer to "Can I sell stuff under the personal license".

Not everyone wants the "big picture". Most of us don't want any picture at all! Also, that's not at all how you start a business... if smaller 1 person shops could sell parts and work on designs, even for a reasonable price (which none of the licenses are for a 1 person operation), then they could start thinking and evaluating the risk/reward based on what they are doing.

Just because you are a big company that simply doesn't want to put any money into validating your aggressive money-pump semi-industrial software that has almost no space for 1 person fabricators, it doesn't mean everyone is going to become an engineer and start a business just to be able to pay your absurd fees. Most people will just sell stuff illegally until they can afford the license, or they'll migrate away to a cheaper or open-source alternative.
