This invention describes a 3D printing system that not only creates objects but also embeds a tiny storage device, like a microchip, directly inside them as they are being built. A computer then writes information about how that specific object was manufactured onto this embedded chip, allowing its history to travel with the part itself. While it could link to a database, the core idea is to store the manufacturing details directly within the object.
Why it matters: Since 2019, the drive for comprehensive traceability in 3D printed parts has intensified. Miniaturization of embedded electronics and advancements in multi-material 3D printing make integrating storage elements more feasible.
