الملخص
This research examines the application of blockchain technology as a mechanism to augment intellectual property (IP) protection for three dimensional (3D) printed products within the domain of industrial design. The escalating accessibility and decentralized nature of 3D printing technologies have intensified concerns regarding the unauthorized replication and dissemination of design files, thereby posing a considerable risk to the IP rights of designers and manufacturers. This study explores the potential of blockchain's intrinsic attributes immutability, transparency, and decentralized architecture to create an auditable and safe framework for the administration and safeguarding of digital design assets. It investigates how blockchain based solutions can provide verifiable provenance for 3D printable files, monitor their utilization and transfer, and automate licensing agreements through the implementation of smart contracts. Furthermore, the research analyzes the advantages of blockchain in deterring counterfeiting, streamlining the administration of IP rights, and fostering trust among designers, manufacturers, and consumers. By addressing the challenges of IP infringement within the context of 3D printing, this study contributes to the development of robust strategies for safeguarding innovation and promoting a secure ecosystem for the design and production of 3D printed products. The findings aim to provide insights into the feasibility and efficacy of blockchain technology in redefining IP protection mechanisms within the evolving landscape of digital manufacturing.
