Authenticated production

This invention describes a system that checks if physical parts are genuine. For each part meant for a larger assembly, it takes a picture, processes that picture to create a unique digital signature based on the part's physical structure, and then uses this signature to confirm if the part is authentic. This information can then be stored in a database for the complete assembly.

Why it matters: The rapid advancements in AI-powered computer vision since 2021 make the "digital fingerprint processor" for structural analysis significantly more robust and accessible. This is particularly relevant for authenticating increasingly complex parts produced by additive manufacturing, as indicated by the classifications.
