Pretty sure drm will be top of the requirement.

Today, the 3MF Consortium has announced a new level of membership, with the Associate level allowing for benefits such as early access to changes in specifications, participation in an online communication forum, password-protected .3MF document access, and the use of the 3MF logo on their products (that meet provided requirements). Associate members will be listed on the 3MF Consortium website. Annual dues are $1,000 for Associate members, and an application can be filled out to join at this level; the Consortium may expand the offerings for Associate members in the future.
