description: >-
  Velo3D sells enterprise metal additive-manufacturing hardware and software,
  not a metered developer API. Engagement is through capital purchase of
  Sapphire printers (with Flow, Assure, and Intelligent Fusion), printing
  services with zero capital investment, or a manufacturing network for surge
  capacity. Pricing is quote-based and negotiated through Velo3D sales; there
  are no published per-call, per-token, or subscription API tiers. This plans
  artifact is not reconciled because no public API pricing exists.
notes: >-
  No public API or developer plan is documented. Pricing for printers,
  software, and printing services is enterprise / quote-based. Contact Velo3D
  sales for current terms.
