Studios and publishers
Extend a licence into physical objects without committing to factory production or a minimum order.
In preparation
Your worlds,
made on demand
Studios, publishers, creators, clubs, brands: bring your characters and objects into the physical world with no stock, no factory and nothing unsold — while keeping hold of your rights.
This programme isn't open yet
We are building the contractual framework and the tools that will let a rights holder entrust their models to the network. This page describes what we are preparing; nothing is on sale today.
How it works
-
You deposit your models
You stay the owner. You grant a bounded manufacturing right, limited to the objects, territories and duration you set.
-
You choose who makes them
You build your sub-network of approved workshops and you set their conditions: materials, colours, finishes, inspection, territories. No workshop outside that list can produce your models.
-
The network makes them one at a time
Every copy is printed after the order, by an approved workshop near the buyer. Nothing produced in advance, so no stock to finance and nothing to destroy.
-
You earn a royalty
On every copy made, counted by the platform and paid out automatically, with the sales detail.
Who it's for
Creators and artists
Sell your pieces at volume without handling printing, packing or shipping.
Clubs, associations, local authorities
Trophies, medals and branded objects, made close to the people they are meant for.
Brands
Spare parts, accessories and promotional objects produced on demand, with no cash tied up.
Your approved workshops
You are not handing your creations to an anonymous network: you name the workshops allowed to produce them, and what they must respect.
You name who makes it
You build the list of approved workshops and set their specification: materials, colours, finishes, inspection. On the buyer's side, the piece is announced as printed by an approved partner.
Or you take the Dimap sub-network
If you would rather not build the list yourself, Dimap will offer its own sub-network of certified workshops. You take it as it is, or mix it with your own.
An order never waits
Workshop on holiday, machine down, part rejected at inspection: the order moves automatically to the next on your list. A single imposed workshop with no alternative is an order with no recourse.
You set a royalty, not the final price
What the buyer pays also depends on the workshop producing it and the material chosen. You control what comes back to you on each copy — the royalty is yours, the till receipt is not.
What we guarantee
- You keep your rights. The licence is non-exclusive, revocable, and bounded by what you signed — objects, territories, duration.
- The file never leaves. A licensed model is printed without ever becoming downloadable, not by the buyer, and not by the workshop beyond the order entrusted to it.
- Every copy is counted. Royalties are calculated on real sales, traceable one by one, and paid out automatically.
- You do the restricting, not us. The choice of approved workshops is yours: Dimap applies it and tells the buyer, it does not impose it.
