Abstract
The present disclosure generally relates to methods and apparatuses for secondary material deposition and insert deposition during additive manufacturing (AM) processes. Such methods and apparatuses can be used to embed chemical signatures into manufactured objects, and such embedded chemical signatures may find use in anti-counterfeiting operations and in manufacture of objects with multiple materials.
