COVID-19 HIGHLIGHTS NEED FOR SECURE DISTRIBUTED ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING
ACTUAL GLOBAL INSIGHTS
ABOUT ON-DEMAND MANUFACTURING
The frantic global search for rapid deliveries of masks and other protective gear, provided two clear insights.
First time that 3D Printing is being applied on such a large scale for on-demand Additive Manufacturing.
Existing on-demand Additive Manufacturing causes many problems: falsification of documents, illicit trading, fraud,
products of poor quality.
MARKET-DRIVEN INITIATIVE
TO ACCELERATE SECURE SOLUTIONS
Bringing together Industry, IT and Research, the Alliance is committed to accelerate and support development of Secure Distributed AM.
By accelerating the design and development of the Digital Thread in AM (DTAM), the Alliance defines and aggregates the requirements of manufacturers and suppliers.
With the goal to define standards and interfaces primarily to build various ecosystems, where both manufacturing data and 3D printed products move securely between the different actors — from idea to end-product.

JOIN OUR INAUGURAL SDAM RESEARCH PROJECT TO DEFINE THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF A SECURE DISTRIBUTED AM ECOSYSTEM
OBJECTIVE: TO AGGREGATE AND EVALUATE THE REQUIREMENTS OF ALL RELEVANT MARKET PARTIES FROM THE CREATION OF DIGITAL 3D PRINTING DATA TO 3D PRINTERS IN AN END-TO-END SECURITY CHAIN
RESEARCH PROJECT – MARKET SEGMENTS
More SDAM Research Project information
SESSION I.
Secure Data Transfer
The Digital Thread—a single, seamless strand of data that stretches from the initial design to the finished part—can help scale and enhance AM capabilities. Understand challenges and strategies for building a DTAM in various industrial, AM-driven applications, based on one’s strategic goals for AM.
SESSION II.
Blockchain
How could blockchain be utilized in Distributed Manufacturing to support supply chain scale and product innovation and add value to the digital thread? End-to-end Trust in Ownership (IP & OEM rights), in Quality (Industry-Grade validation & certification) and in Transactions thanks to Blockchain.
SESSION III.
Certification & Quality Assurance
Additive production consists of multiple stages, which must be monitored, assessed and controlled to ensure the repeatability and reliability of 3D printed parts. Qualification and certification standards open a feasible route to product certification by providing the guidelines against which parts are assessed and qualified.
SESSION IV.
Knowledge & Research
These professionals are putting their knowledge and technology to work for enhancing the security of production chains as Distributed Manufacturing. It’s all about on-demand, local manufacturing, made possible by technical technologies with new production processes.
SESSION V.
Software
The various software systems are a building block to ensure the promise of the AM process. The need for collaboration in the production chain is going to be crucial as AM deployment starts to accelerate. As such being able to offer a recognised solution will be a key differentiator for all stakeholders involved in the build out of the new manufacturing ecosystems.
SESSION VI.
3D Printers
Ultimately, most 3D printers are simply special purpose computers, and thus suffer the same potential security risks as any computer, especially when you add networking. Before 3D printers could become a core part of final manufacturing, the industry needs to find a way to address all of these security risks.
SESSION VII.
Material Suppliers
Digital, connected and distributed manufacturing has become a reality with 3D printing, allowing manufacturers to use more efficient and sustainable production methods. Focus should be on the application, not the technology.
SESSION VIII.
Printer Locations
The process of secure on-demand Distributed AM starts with the generation of the digital 3D print data and the secure exchange of the data with a 3D printer. This should be achieved through a seamlessly integrated end-to-end digital solution including relevant manufacturing data, to protect intellectual property and provide robust traceability.
SESSION IX.
Post Processing
The right digital infrastructure—one that can store, access, and analyze vast amounts of data and interoperate across multiple different machines and processes—is crucial to building and operating a successful digital thread. Machining services information should not be siloed, but integrated.

KEY EVENTS
We do need the impact of key events to build and grow an effective Alliance
Although nothing will replace the impact of face-to-face events, Covid-19 has introduced us to new event formats: the so-called digital events (hybrid, virtual, webinar, streaming and all its variations). The desire to meet, discuss, teach and learn is inherent to human beings. The advantages of onsite events are crystal clear, and now, so are the advantages of digital events. We have selected a number of face-to-face and hybrid events to create effective, interactive meetings and sessions that will accelerate the development of the Alliance and its goals. Over time, more events will be selected to further the development of the Alliance.
