Application: Apparatus, system, and method for blockchain tracking of spooled additive manufacturing print material (Patent ID: US20230382051A1)
The patent filed by Jabil Inc. describes apparatuses, systems, and methods for tracking the use of print filament wound on a print spool in additive manufacturing prints. The system includes an identifier associated with the print spool, a network ledger containing information about prior prints using the filament, and authorized printers for running enhanced print algorithms. A confirmation block in the ledger ensures a sufficient amount of filament is available for the current print, with a controller executing the print with the enhanced algorithms and an update block confirming the filament usage.
Claim 1 of the patent outlines a system for tracking 3D print filament usage on a printer in additive manufacturing prints. It includes an identifier for the print spool, a network connection to a ledger with information on prior prints and authorized printers for enhanced algorithms. The system also features a confirmation block in the ledger to ensure enough filament for the current print, a controller to execute the print with enhanced algorithms, and an update block generator to confirm the execution and filament usage. This system aims to efficiently manage filament usage and enhance the additive manufacturing process.
