To address the increasing challenges of counterfeit detection and IP protection for 3D
printing, we propose that every 3D printer holds unique fingerprinting features characterized …

Zeltmann, et al. demonstrated that structural integrity and other quality damage to objects
can be caused by changing its position on a 3D printer's build plate. On some printers, for …

Three-dimensional printing systems have expanded the access to low cost, rapid methods
for attaining physical prototypes or products. However, a cyber attack, system error, or …

In prior work, Zeltmann, et al. demonstrated the negative impact that can be created by
defects of various sizes in 3D printed objects. These defects may make the object unsuitable …

Prior work by Zeltmann, et al. has demonstrated the impact of small defects and other
irregularities on the structural integrity of 3D printed objects. It posited that such defects …

A wide variety of characteristics of 3D printed objects have been linked to impaired structural
integrity and use-efficacy. The printing material can also have a significant impact on the …

The digitization of manufacturing systems is at the crux of the next industrial revolutions. The
digital representation of the “Physical Twin,” also known as the “Digital Twin,” will help in …
