Digital and Additive Manufacturing is proliferating in industrial settings. These new techniques for product design and implementation can enable rapid prototyping, more complex part details, simplification of product assemblies, and reduction in part tooling. However, they may also increase the attack surface for malicious third parties to alter design files, manufacturing parameters, steal intellectual property, or compromise part testing. In this webinar series we present an examination of this area. This week's focus is on Mechanical Compromises and Defect Detection:…
