Macropace Secure
G-Code (.sgc)

G-code is a programming language that a 3D printer needs to be able to translate the 3D data file into a practical action driven process to do the printing. G-code (or Geometric Code) tells the 3D printing device what to do or how to do something. The G-code commands instruct the machine where to move, how fast to move and what path to follow.

It is possible to reverse engineer from G-code back to an open access STL file, even if the original STL file was shared in a secure format such as Macropace Secure Share 3D. To close the security loop for sharing valuable 3D IP information and to allow printing of the 3D model, the 3D production vendor converts the STL file to a Secure G-Code that can only be read by a dedicated 3D printer with the installed secure compatible lock and key parsing software.

Macropace Secure Share 3D and Macropace Secure G-Code closes the security loop for 3D data sharing and printing.
