License clarification

Discussion started by Lawrence10

Good evening, I need clarification regarding the license required to commercially use a 3D model.
The work to be created is a sculpture using CNC, starting from the 3D reference, which will then be finished by hand.
After this work, can I resell it?
Is Royalty Free License ok?
Thanks in advance

If it's your own sculpture, go ahead. If not, what is the license on the original artwork? You can't change a format of a model, and expect that the license will nullify.

The doubt came to me because I don't use a print directly but I work partially on the model and finish it manually, I was advised to talk about it directly with the seller. Thanks for the reply

It depends, if you're doing commissioned job for a client, then yes, you can buy a model with royalty free licence, print it, or mill it on CNC and give result as the part of the job to the client. On the other hand, if your plan is to make multiple physical copies of that object and offer to buy for your customers, then the answer is no, such activity is prohibited by the royalty free license. Distributing digital files in the form that you downloaded them is not allowed in any case. If you have more questions or need clarification, i suggest you to contact site support, they might be qualified to give you legal advice, or might be not, but some random dude on the forum certainly isn't.
