Definitions
- the present invention relates to a three-dimensional printing method for producing a product protected against counterfeiting with at least one first security feature comprising the following method steps: providing a digital 3D model of the product to be produced, providing the positions for the at least first feature substance for the at least first security feature, Providing the digital model as a program code for controlling an SD printer, providing at least a first predetermined material for the 3D printing, providing at least one second predetermined material from the at least one feature substance or containing the same or layered construction of the Produce with the at least one first predetermined material, providing the at least one feature substance at the intended positions, and removing the product from the manufacturing plant or the working space of the SD prints rs and the preparation for the intended use.
- Products are increasingly made of polymeric materials or the proportion of polymeric materials in products at the expense of valuable materials such as metals or woods, for example, is constantly increasing.
- Typical manufacturing processes are optimized for mass production, while the complexity of a polymeric product such as a dashboard part for a vehicle can be very high. Production processes of high-value goods are thus becoming more and more affordable, but at the expense of flexibility with regard to small quantities.
- the object of new production methods is to satisfactorily meet demands for unit flexibility, quality and complexity at low unit costs.
- additive manufacturing processes or 3D printing are known. Accordingly, the market for products made by the so-called 3D printing process is increasing explosively, with continued development for some very low cost devices for both semi-professional and industrial applications.
- the industrial applications are already very diverse today, although the 3D printing processes (also generative or additive manufacturing processes) currently still operate at relatively low speeds (10 to 20 cm / h). It is expected for the next few years, a duplication of this value.
- the fast authentication also includes the option that the entire process could be automated, including the exploitation of the obtained authentication results.
- a method according to the preamble of claim 1, which achieves the above object, is characterized in particular by providing the at least one second predetermined material comprising: providing at least a second predetermined material for the 3-D pressure, the at least second Material comprising at least one feature substance; and that the steps of printing and providing are summarized: printing of the product with the predetermined first and second materials at the intended positions in a combined printing step.
- a three-dimensional printing method for the Producing a product protected against counterfeiting with at least one first security feature comprises the method steps of providing a digital 3D model of the product to be created, providing the positions for the at least first feature substance for the at least first security feature, providing the digital model A program code for controlling a 3D printer, providing at least two predetermined materials for SD printing, wherein at least one material comprises the at least one feature substance, the printing or the layered construction of the product with the predetermined materials and the feature substances on the provided Positions, as well as the removal of the product from the manufacturing plant or the working space of the SD printer and the preparation for the intended use.
- the provision of the 3D model may include the generation of the digital 3D model by a CAD method, in particular by a CAD method, a 3D scan or a stored data set; providing the positions of the feature substance may include determining the location coordinates in the digital 3D model of the object; and providing the digital model may include converting the model data into the program code.
- the printing process which term refers to various 3D forming methods discussed herein, may preferably be logged and the records contained in the log uploaded directly to a product database containing all data specific to each individual product.
- lots are each created with the same specific characteristics and thus are clones in terms of authentication.
- a control unit may be provided, which predetermines the item of manufactured article the location (s) of the defined volume element (s), including their volume dimensions and if there is more than one feature substance, the type of feature substance. These locations can be determined either from a database or by a random generator from a predetermined set of locations.
- the one or more predetermined volume elements form surface sections of the article to be produced.
- the one or more predetermined Volume elements sections in the interior of the article to be produced in particular in magnetic feature substances or magnetically detectable feature substances or in transparent or partially transparent or translucent products.
- volume elements are expansions, starting from cubes, of e.g. 200 x 200 x 200 microns possible and reasonable volumes can be up to 2 x 2 x 2 millimeters edge length.
- a cuboid of e.g. 0.5 x 0.5 x 2 millimeters edge length, where then the largest length makes an orientation along the surface of the product. This results then different responses of the sensors of the detection device depending on the direction from which is looked at the product, which also represents this difference is a security feature.
- the length of the strand of the cuboid may e.g. associated with the lot number or the production period.
- the volume element may be a complete or a correspondingly applied partial layer.
- the feature substance (s) are, for example, upconverters and / or downconverters, in which shortwave radiation is converted into longerwave radiation (down-conversion) and / or longerwave into shortwave (up-conversion) radiation by fluorescence.
- the product database can be decentralized in a mobile or stationary device, centrally located in a server or it can be created in the cloud and accessible via various servers.
- a method for authenticating a product protected against counterfeiting with at least one first security feature the product is placed on a holding device, a detection device is provided in one or more predetermined positions, the relevant feature characteristics are registered by the feature substance (s) and its or their positions in the product, the recorded data is compared with the data on feature properties and feature positions from a product database, and a report on the result of the authentication is created.
- the positioning of the detection device according to data from the product database is predetermined.
- the report can give the authentication result to be stored; In doing so, the report can be stored in the product database, in particular together with the location and time of the authentication process and with the identity of the auditor or the verification device.
- the report may include a comparison of the target / actual values of the defined property of the feature substance (s).

- WO 2011/036087 AI does not describe the execution of an authentication of the product in more detail, but leaves it an indication of X-ray or ultrasound analysis, for example computed tomography.
- the method of Pilz et. al. is geared towards products made with powder bed processes such as SLS or SLM, which are manufactured as single pieces or in small batches and rather as expensive capital goods with the highest safety standards. Turbine blades are a well-known example for this product category.
- the extension of the process by filling artificially created cavities with magnetic material does not reduce the complexity of the process. Checking a distribution of cavities is in any case an authentication on forensic level and for a fast and cost-effective authentication of small or even medium series little suitable.
- it is necessary to integrate an additional step in the production process (closing empty cavities or filling them with magnetic material), which in the sense of the solution proposed here just to avoid.
- EP 2 837 444 A1 aims in a similar direction, in which case the inventors focus on creating a kind of indentation in the surface, in a second step introducing an identifier therein and then closing the filled indentation in a further step by laying a thin layer of the construction material over the opening of the indentation.
- This proposal also requires additional steps during manufacture.
- EP 2 837 444 A1 does not present any concrete workflow that already starts at the level of the digital model and ends with a verification and certainly does not include the following steps with regard to data utilization. As a personalization reference is made in this approach to an ID chip, which is not practical for cost reasons and the additional cost of its installation in the product to solve this problem.
- both WO 2011/036087 A1 and EP 2 837 444 A1 the location of the security feature or the positions of the sub-features on or in the object are not discussed. Rather, according to embodiments of the present invention, the location of a security feature on or in an object as a feature property is included in the security concept, so that there is a possibility for individualization (personalization) of the object and overall a higher level of security.

This may, for example, be a steganographically intended imprint in the area of a manufacturer logo or a type designation, wherein the steganography is selected so as not to present this information in a way that disturbs the user.
- the provision of the positions of the feature substance comprises, in a first step, the definition of the location coordinates in the digital 3D model of the object.
- this means that the positions are predetermined. This predetermination may be deliberate by decision of the 3D printer / manufacturer of the product, or it may be made as a random selection in the context of possible meaningful positions.
- Another aspect of the invention is the provision of the feature substance for the additive digital fabricator or short additive Fabber.

- a test device which, after the product has been identified by reason of a serial number or other individual characteristic of the product, causes the tester to move to a specific position to carry out the verification.
- Such a method is particularly suitable for verification of individual pieces that can wear markers individually at different locations.
- the tester does not necessarily have the verification location on the surface of the marked product start automatically. An examiner can also do this manually if he has clear documentation, such.
- Example in the form of a three-dimensional (perspective) drawing, which clearly identify the marked location.
- a tomographic method also allows to detect security features located within the product or below the surface, for example a volume element made of a polymer material of different density compared to the surrounding material.
- a tomographic method is particularly well suited for single piece testing.
- Necessary part of all verification procedures is the knowledge of the location of the security feature, which is defined in any form indicative of the single or series product is deposited as a coordinate.
- the typical coordinate for the product may be stored in the tester itself, which may be both a mobile, semi-stationary or stationary device, in a decentralized or centralized database or in the cloud.
- a coordinate in the sense of the invention can also be noted on a product data sheet.
- a database is thus not exclusively an electronic or digital database to understand, but the term can also stand for a paper storage.
- all verification methods have in common that the 3-D printer is capable of applying the security feature to a selected location of the product to be manufactured.
- all devices are suitable according to the FDM method with an at least second extrusion head (eg commercially available devices from Airwolf 3D (Airwolf HD2x), Mankati (Fullscale XT Plus), 3D Systems (CubePro Duo and CubePro Trio) or Builder 3D (Builder Dual) or devices with a multiple extrusion head.
- an at least second extrusion head eg commercially available devices from Airwolf 3D (Airwolf HD2x), Mankati (Fullscale XT Plus), 3D Systems (CubePro Duo and CubePro Trio) or Builder 3D (Builder Dual) or devices with a multiple extrusion head.
- An extended result of verification of the security feature in the defined volume element with a method includes features of the feature substance for its application as a security feature.
- An example is the spectral parameters of the feature substance, such as the luminescence at a certain wavelength.
- the safety feature applied by means of 3-D printing is integrated into the object so that the three-dimensional shape of the object does not differ from its unmarked variant.
- the shape of the object which may be decisive for the function of the article, remains unimpaired by the marking.
- the security feature is not tactile detectable and is thus not suitable as a basis for Braille, for example.
- a tactile feature that is very subtly detectable can be integrated into a product. This is a special case in which the output of the verification result is simply the finding that the expected tactile impression arises at a particular location.
- the method according to the invention essentially comprises the method steps:
- the printheads can also be integrated in a multiple printhead.
- Verification of the security feature in the defined volume element with a method that recognizes the properties of the feature substance for its application as a security feature.
- Partially finished product in a production stage in which a cavity is being filled with a support polymer is Partially finished product in a production stage in which a cavity is being filled with a support polymer.
- This step may be executed several times
