Acceptable use policy
We print for everyone, but we do not print everything. This page sets out what we refuse, so nobody finds out at the last minute.
By uploading a model to extruded.in you confirm the part complies with this policy. Every uploaded model is seen by a human operator before it is printed, and we refuse jobs that break these rules regardless of whether payment has already been taken.
We will not print
- Sexually explicit or adult items. Nudity, sex toys, genitalia and other sexually explicit objects, including items that are obscene under Indian law. Anatomical models for genuine medical or educational use may be accepted; contact us before ordering with context.
- Weapons and weapon components. Firearms, firearm parts, magazines, suppressors, functional blades and striking weapons, and components whose purpose is to convert or complete a weapon. This includes so-called replica parts that are functionally real.
- Items that defeat safety or security. Lock-picking tools, key blanks for restricted keyways, card-skimmer housings, tamper-evidence bypasses and similar.
- Counterfeits and infringing designs. Parts bearing brand logos, trademarks or protected designs you do not have rights to, and copies of products you did not design or license.
- Impersonation items. Police, military or government badges, official seals, currency and identity items.
- Hate and harassment. Symbols or objects whose purpose is to demean, threaten or harass a person or group.
- Safety-critical applications. Parts you intend to use in medical implants, life-support, aircraft or vehicle braking and steering. FDM plastic is not certified for these uses and we will not knowingly supply it for them.
- Anything else unlawful under Indian law.
How we enforce this
Our operators review every model before printing. If a job is refused under this policy before printing begins, you receive a full refund. If a violation only becomes apparent after printing has started, the refund excludes material already consumed, in line with our refund policy. Deliberate or repeated attempts to order prohibited items will close the account, and where the law requires it we cooperate with authorities.
If you are not sure
Borderline cases exist: airsoft accessories, cosplay props, anatomical study models, replacement parts for branded products. Email contact@bot-works.tech with the model and its purpose before ordering and we will give you a straight answer, usually the same working day.
This policy forms part of our terms of service.
