Protecting your Intellectual Property (IP) is our top priority. We employ strict physical and digital security protocols:

  • All uploaded CAD files and engineering documents are stored on secure, encrypted servers with restricted internal access.

  • Only authorized tooling engineers and project managers assigned to your project have access to your designs.

  • We routinely sign and strictly adhere to comprehensive Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDAs) prior to receiving any confidential designs.
