THE GENESYS

The Genesys is an Italian deep-tech startup revolutionizing 3D printing through an integrated ecosystem that combines patented hardware, blockchain, and NFTs. Our technology enables the sale and printing of each product as a single, verified copy, turning 3D files into certified digital assets. With our app and plug-and-play device, users can easily produce authenticated objects at home or in local print hubs. The Genesys makes 3D printing simple, secure, and sustainable, empowering creators and brands with full control over their intellectual property while unlocking a new era of on-demand manufacturing.

Problem Statement and Solution Overview

• 3D printing remains inaccessible for the average user, requiring technical skills, setup time, and complex software.

• 3D files lack protection, preventing major brands from using 3D printing as a direct sales channel.

• For example, if Nike released a 3D file of the Air Max 1000, anyone could copy and reprint it endlessly, destroying exclusivity, IP value, and brand control.

• Traditional production models lead to high costs, unsold inventory, and a heavy environmental footprint due to centralized logistics.

Key Metrics

• Marketplace ready for file uploads by creators and brands (NFT minting & management integrated).

• Platform in pre-launch phase.

• Strategic technology partners in blockchain, 3D printing, and fulfillment.

• Active advisory board including leaders from Kotuko, Hera, and Accenture.

• 2028 Vision: to become the global leader in decentralized manufacturing, replacing mass production with a distributed network of local digital factories.

Indian Context

India is one of the fastest-growing markets in the field of additive manufacturing and digital production, driven by government initiatives such as “Make in India” and “Digital India.” However, despite this rapid development, two key challenges remain:

1. Limited accessibility and adoption of 3D printing among SMEs, schools, and designers due to

high costs, technical complexity, and lack of standardization.

2. Lack of intellectual property protection, which discourages brands and creators from distributing 3D files and digital projects. The Genesys directly addresses both of these challenges by offering a secure, plug-and-play, blockchain-based ecosystem that makes decentralized production accessible to everyone.

Our patented system enables local printing of verified products, each linked to a digital NFT certificate, ensuring that every object produced in India is authentic, traceable, and authorized for a single print. This model aligns perfectly with the country’s strategic goals:

• Empowering local manufacturers and SMEs to join distributed production networks.

• Reducing import dependency by enabling ondemand production of spare parts and consumer

goods.

• Supporting environmental objectives by cutting waste and minimizing logistics costs. Through collaborations with universities, innovation hubs, and design institutes, The Genesys aims to position India as a regional leader in secure, decentralized manufacturing across the Asia-Pacific region.

Technology / IP Overview

The Genesys ecosystem is built on three main innovations:

1. Patented Hardware (Hermes Device) a universal IoT module that connects to any 3D printer, enabling direct “one-click” printing from the Genesys App or Marketplace.

2. NFT-Based Licensing System each 3D model is associated with two digital tokens:

     • Right-to-Print NFT: the license that authorizes a single, verified print.

     • Proof-of-Print NFT: automatically generated upon completion of printing, certifying authenticity and stored in the user’s wallet. As described in the Genesys Patent, the system assigns each printed product a unique serial code linked to its NFT, allowing for numbering and traceability. After printing, the NFT is burned, preventing any unauthorized reproduction.

3. Blockchain Platform (Polygon / ERC-1155) — integrates smart contracts to manage licenses, royalties, and authentication in a scalable, cost-efficient, and sustainable way.

4. Generative and Customization Engine- powered by AI and parametric modeling, this system allows users, brands, and creators to personalize objects in real time before printing.The engine automatically adapts geometry, texture, and proportions while maintaining structural integrity and licensing constraints.This capability enables the creation of unique, user-driven products, combining mass customization with certified digital ownership- a true bridge between industrial production and personal expression

Together, these technologies transform 3D files into certified digital assets, making 3D printing secure, traceable, and monetizable.

“The Genesys represents a real breakthrough in how we conceiveproduction: it merges digital protection and physical creation. It’s not just3D printing — it’s verified and sustainable manufacturing.”
— CEO, Kotuko

“As a design studio, we can finally sell our models without losingcontrol. The single-copy printing model creates genuine digital scarcity.”
— Elena Rogna, 3D Designer 

“Through The Genesys, we reimagined the concept of handcrafted footwear:the design remains Made in Italy, but production can happen locally, on demand,and with certified traceability. It’s the new frontier of responsible luxury.”
— Servati, Italian Luxury Footwear Brand 

“With The Genesys, a new paradigm of the artist’s multiple is born: asAndy Warhol did in Pop Art, reproduction is no longer a copy but part of theartwork itself. Uniqueness becomes digital, traceable, and alive.”
— OZMO, International Artist & Muralist

“Ourstudents use The Genesys to develop sustainable design projects, experimentingwith on-demand manufacturing and real-world IP protection.”
