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.
While this sounds great in theory, for major manufacturers it creates one major headache: how do you prove a design is yours?
Not only that, but what liability does a company have if someone steals its design, creates a poorly made copy and it leads to a major accident?
