Question 1

What is MetaFuse3D and what makes your in-house chain unique?

Accepted Answer

Founded in 2022 by Akshay Deshpande under Sigma Technical Management and Services (Sigma TMS), MetaFuse3D provides an unbroken in-house chain: 3D Scanning, 3D Designing, 3D Printing (FDM & 8K Resin), and Injection Molding across facilities in Nashik (India) and Tennessee (USA). We never outsource critical manufacturing steps.

Question 2

What is ModelForge?

Accepted Answer

ModelForge is our proprietary cloud 3D platform that allows anyone—from dental clinicians to industrial engineers and makers—to discover models, configure custom parameters in real-time 3D, inspect DFM mesh validity, and order physical parts manufactured directly on our fleet.

Question 3

What 3D file formats do you accept for instant analysis?

Accepted Answer

ModelForge natively accepts .STL (binary preferred), .3MF (recommended for multi-color 16-color builds), .OBJ, .STEP / .STP (solid CAD), .PLY, and .DCM (DICOM dental scans) with maximum file sizes up to 200MB.

Question 4

How does 16-color multi-filament printing work?

Accepted Answer

Our multi-colour FDM process can place up to 16 colours in a single print, so parts come off the build plate finished — no post-print painting or manual gluing.

Question 5

What is India's First MAD Device mentioned in your brochure?

Accepted Answer

MetaFuse3D developed India's First 3D printed Mandibular Advancement Device (MAD)—a precision custom intraoral appliance designed from patient dental scans to treat obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and chronic snoring with comfortable mandibular titration.

Question 6

How is patient dental data protected during file upload?

Accepted Answer

All dental scans (.DCM / .STL) are encrypted in transit via TLS 1.3 and at rest via AES-256 in strict isolated quarantine buckets. In compliance with the India DPDP Act 2023 and US privacy frameworks, files are used solely to manufacture the prescribed appliance and can be permanently deleted upon request.

Question 7

How is pricing calculated for custom parts?

Accepted Answer

Our instant pricing engine calculates cost based on actual part bounding box, displacement volume (cm³), raw material type, estimated machine run-time, required layer height resolution, and post-processing finish.

Question 8

Do you offer volume discounts for batch manufacturing?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We provide tiered volume discounts: 6-25 units receive 10% off, 26-100 units receive 20% off, and orders exceeding 100 units unlock custom B2B production rates with dedicated engineer oversight.

Question 9

Where do you ship, and what are typical lead times?

Accepted Answer

We ship across India from our Nashik manufacturing centre and across the United States from our Tennessee office, using express couriers. Production time depends on the part, the process and the batch size — we confirm your dispatch date with your quote, and you can track every stage on the order page.

Question 10

Who owns the intellectual property of uploaded CAD models?

Accepted Answer

You retain 100% intellectual property ownership of all uploaded geometry, models, and custom configurations. MetaFuse3D holds only a limited license to slice, analyze, and manufacture your physical order. We never sell, share, or publish your files without explicit consent.
