Examples described herein provide a computer-implemented method that includes aggregating data. The method further includes filtering the data to eliminate objects known not to be suitable for additive manufacturing. The method further includes performing machine learning on the data to identify objects suitable for additive manufacturing. The method further includes generating, using additive manufacturing, at least one of the objects identified as being suitable for additive manufacturing.

Identifying candidate objects for additive manufacturing

Methods may involve accepting pre-manufacture verification of manufacturer capabilities and product precursors for a product. Discrete packets of operational parameters to enable an additive manufacturing device to manufacture the product may be generated, each packet enabling manufacture of a respective portion of the product. The respective packets may be sent for only after receipt of confirmation that a previous packet is complete and associated operational parameters for the previous packet have been deleted. A time from completion of the previous packet may be sufficient to ensure that manufacture of another respective portion of the product may begin without interruption in an additive manufacturing process. In-manufacture verification of operational parameters utilized by the additive manufacturing device may be accepted. During at least some stages, a blockchain may be updated to associate data representative of workflows for the product with an encrypted, secure identifier utilizing a secure, distributed transaction ledger.

Systems and methods for verifying additive manufacturing workflows

Methods may involve sending identification of a product to an additive manufacturer. Confirmation from the additive manufacturer of availability may be received. Approval of a respective additive manufacturer may be confirmed. Discrete packets of operational parameters to enable an additive manufacturing device to manufacture respective portions of the product may be generated. Respective packets of operational parameters may be encrypted and sent to a network-connected additive manufacturing device. The respective packets may be sent only after confirmation that a previous packet is complete and has been deleted. A time from completion of the previous packet may be sufficient to ensure that manufacturing of another portion of the product may begin without interruption in an additive manufacturing process. During at least some stages, a blockchain may be updated to associate data representative of workflows for the product with an encrypted, secure identifier utilizing a secure, distributed transaction ledger.

Additive manufacturing distributed inventory management

Methods may involve accepting an order for a product to be manufactured and identification of a product file meeting the specification, the product file comprising instructions for manufacturing the product. Pre-manufacture verification of manufacturer capabilities and product precursors may be accepted. Operational parameters to enable an additive manufacturing device to manufacture the product may be sent as discrete packets. At least one packet may be sent only after receipt of confirmation that at least another previous layer is complete and associated operational parameters for the at least another previous layer have been deleted. In-manufacture verification of the operational parameters utilized by the additive manufacturing device when manufacturing the product may be accepted. At each stage, a blockchain for certifying characteristics of the product may be updated to associate data representative of workflows for the product with an encrypted, secure identifier utilizing a secure, distributed transaction ledger.

Systems and methods for end-to-end verification of manufacturing workflows

A sensor system, including: a dielectric material on a part body; and a sensor on the dielectric material, the sensor configured to provide impedance, capacitance, and resistance values and to alter one or more of the impedance, capacitance and resistance values responsive to a stress applied to the part body. Also disclosed is a method of making and a method of using the sensor system.
