Abstract: A method for verifying and authenticating additive manufactured products utilizing extraterrestrial communication including generating a product geometry file, recording to a distributed transaction register stored on a server network having a plurality of node servers a first transaction reflecting the product geometry file, the first transaction having a first output associated with the first transaction and including a blockchain address, transmitting the first output between a terrestrial transceiver that is communicatively connected to the server network and an extraterrestrial transceiver that is communicatively connected to the terrestrial transceiver, and printing, with a 3D additive printer, a product that utilizes the product geometry file.

Abstract: An additive manufacturing system uses a trained artificial intelligence module as part of a closed-loop control structure for adjusting the initial set of build parameters in-process to improve part quality. The closed-loop control structure includes a slow control loop taking into account in-process build layer images, and may include fast control loop taking into account melt pool monitoring data. The artificial intelligence module is trained using outputs from a plurality of convolutional neural networks (CNNs) tasked with evaluating build layer images captured in-process and images of finished parts captured post-process. The post process images may include two-dimensional images of sectioned finished parts and three-dimensional CAT scan images of finished parts.
