Researchers Turn Tracking Codes into Unclonable “Clouds” to Authenticate Genuine 3D Printed Parts

The worldwide market for 3D-printed parts is a $5 billion business with a global supply chain involving the internet, email, and the cloud – creating a number of opportunities for counterfeiting and intellectual property theft. Flawed parts printed from stolen design files could produce dire results: experts predict that by 2021, 75 percent of new commercial and military aircraft will fly with...

QR CODE ‘CLOUDS’ PROTECT 3D PRINTING FROM PIRACY

The worldwide market for 3D-printed parts is a $5 billion business with a global supply chain involving the internet, email, and the cloud—creating a number of opportunities for counterfeiting and intellectual property theft. Flawed parts printed from stolen design files could produce dire results: experts predict that by 2021, 75 percent of new commercial and...

Major 3D-printing breakthrough could keep design pirates at bay

Trying to prove who designed and built what in 3D printing was envisaged as costly to major manufacturers, until now. The amazing aspect of 3D printing is that anyone, anywhere, with the right equipment, can print and build an object almost identical to an already existing one.

Medical and Aerospace 3D Printed Parts Could Be Secured by Embedded QR Codes

Experts have predicted that by 2021, 75 percent of new commercial and military aircraft will contain 3D printed parts. That makes it crucial that manufacturers find a foolproof way to ensure that 3D printed components are genuine. Counterfeit parts do a lot more than steal intellectual property – they can be dangerous or even deliberately...

Researchers Defeat 3D Printing Piracy with Hidden QR Codes

Worldwide, the market for 3D printed parts is $5 billion. As a result, intellectual property theft and counterfeiting are rife. But, what can be done to stop this when the global supply chain is online? Researchers at NYU Tandon and NYU Abu Dhabi believe they have come up with a solution to foil counterfeiters and...

NYU TEAM ENCODE PARTS WITH 3D PRINTED QR “CLOUDS” TO PREVENT COUNTERFEITING

3D printed QR codes are the latest development in the prevention of counterfeitingand intellectual property (IP) theft. Created by an international team of researchers from NYU Tandon, New York, and NYU Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), these invisible tags can be internally embedded within additive manufactured components, to be read later only by trusted...

How to Authenticate a 3D-Printed Part: ‘Explode’ and Embed a QR Code

3D-printed parts are increasingly finding their way into airplanes and operating rooms. Garter experts predict that, by 2021, 75% of new commercial and military aircraft will feature engine and airframe components made through additive manufacturing. Similarly, the use of 3D-printed medical implants are set to increase by 20 percent over the next decade. As the...

First Ever Conference on Biochip Security Sees Risks and Rewards at the Nexus of Biochemical and Electrical Engineering

Today there are some 10 billion connected devices — excluding smartphones and computers — and those numbers are growing fast. One driver: mobile applications for medical devices, including biochips (devices that combine biochemistry and electrical and computer processing to run chemical reactions — sometimes many at once at the microscopic level). Paired with microfluidic systems, these “lab...
