Counterfeiting is a trillion-dollar business
Costs US companies
$250B/year
Erodes consumer confidence
Can support terrorists and
organized crime
R I S K
3D printing makes counterfeiting easy
3D Printing, Protected with Spectroscopy
Under-the-skin fingerprinting:
Fingerprinting for “ink”
Authorized spare parts, made with the right material
Make objects unscannable
What We Do: Light-Based Verification
Chemical Taggants in the “sandwich”
Detector: Pocket-sized spectrometer
Fast & easy field authentication
PB&J metaphor:
“the most promising is a technique developed by InfraTrac” (3dprint.com)
Tagging Electronics
Printable electronics options include:
Jettable nanocomposites, e.g. Chemcubed
Bioprinting with electronics, e.g. Jennifer Lewis (Wyss/Harvard)
Conductive ink (NanoDimension)
Conductive graphene filament (BLACKMAGIC3D)
RFID (Chemcubed)
Flexible, e.g. for wearables
Layered into substrate: InfraTrac taggants
Confidential
InfraTrac’s chemical protection is…
Completely covert
Detectable in the field
Easy to scale
Small circle of trust: nobody needs to know the entire recipe
¢
3D Printing IP Opportunity: Licensed Taggants
Gartner: 3D printing IP theft >$100 billion by 2018
Brand Owners: Authorized product
1st Markets: Defense/Aerospace; Med Devices
Current Protection Options for 3D
1-use print
Protects the file, but not the object
Quantum dots
Scale-up and supply chain issues
Toxicity issues (cadmium, lead)
DNA
Full verification is not a field test
Heat limits applicability
Easy AND Effective
