| Because of the growing risk of 3D printing and impaired printing, preventative methods and solutions are in high demand in order to guarantee the quality of the part.However, a few innovative individuals and teams are accomplishing this task, In recent years we have seen some very interesting 3D printing security options.  Jeremy Straub, assistant professor of computer science at Dakota State University, North Dakota, and his team are developing a 3D printing assurance system called the Imaging-based 3D Print Quality Control System Recently won a patent. The system consists of imaging technology that takes pictures of 3D printed components at all stages of production.The layering of photos of 3D printed components enables manufacturers to inspect the internal structure of the part to ensure that the print does not crack, break or otherwise defect. Straub and his team said the imaging system can help manufacturers prove that their 3D printing matches the 3D model they are based on and that they are not compromised by hardware failure or more dangerous sabotage. Imaging is an issue that is of concern to the industry for those who want to ensure that their 3D printing is not hacked, which means that imaging technology is not suitable for applications such as medical services that require highly rigorous authentication procedures Industrial 3D printing applications in areas such as healthcare or aerospace, but it is for smaller companies, professional designers, researchers and even individual manufacturers. Straub explains: 'It's not just researchers who are using 3D printing, but now kids, the elderly, and many who are not print professionals are making things, and it's crucial that the printer has built-in capabilities to make sure that these items Safe, will not destroy or hurt others. ' Currently, Straub is discussing the possibility of commercializing and licensing the functional prototype of an imaging system to some companies. Source: 天工 社 |
