Internal QR Codes Stop 3D Counterfeits
Aug-23-18
Internal QR codes could help prevent counterfeited 3D-printed objects and ensure the item is an original.As 3D-printing becomes more common, we can assume counterfeit 3D-printed products to be close behind. To help prevent the spread of false and inferior goods, the team from the Tandon School of Engineering created a system that directs 3D printers to add hundreds of tiny elements within the object. While the elements do not affect the structure of the object, they are carefully arranged so that when the object is viewed by micro-CT scanner, they will image as a two-dimensional QR code pattern distinct to the original.
And since the proper QR code arrangement will only reveal itself when scanned from a specific angle, would-be counterfeiters are not able to detect the pattern for copying.

Where is dynamic 3D printing? Instead of printing mass products with poor printers at home consumers might prefer retailed unique products produced with professional printers. Algorithms and robots may already sketch personalized products, assemble them from components, use software modules and 3D print unique cases. Best operators would deliver them quicker than web shops.
