3D Printing Has an Urgent Need for Cybersecurity

… According to a new paper, “Manufacturing and Security Challenges in 3D Printing”, written by researchers at New York University’s Tandon School of Engineering … 3D printing carries cybersecurity vulnerabilities that can lead to potentially dangerous, undetectable defects as well as opening the door for counterfeit products. Nikhil Gupta, an associate professor of mechanical and aerospace engineering at NYU Tandon, and one of the co-authors of the paper, told Design News that the cybersecurity risks that come with AM are far more significant that common threats we hear about today.
