Abstract
There is provided a system and method for authentication and making payment when carrying out on-demand manufacturing. The system and method ensures that payment can be conveniently made by users and subsequently, appropriate payments are made to parties for their role in the on-demand manufacturing.
Claims11
A system for authentication and making payment when carrying out on-demand manufacturing, the system comprising:
- at least one manufacturing apparatus of an on-demand manufacturer;
- a central repository communicatively coupled to the at least one manufacturing apparatus, the central repository comprising a first processor and a first memory including first processor executable instructions, that when executed by the first processor, cause the first processor to perform the steps of:
- storing manufacturing data, the manufacturing data including at least a certification of the at least one manufacturing apparatus of the on-demand manufacturer;
- receiving instructions for carrying out the on-demand manufacturing from at least one user device, the instructions including a device identifier associated with the at least one manufacturing apparatus;
- in response to receiving the instructions, retrieving operational parameters from the at least one manufacturing apparatus based on the device identifier;
- authenticating the at least one manufacturing apparatus based on the certification and the operational parameters;
- and
- in response to authenticating the at least one manufacturing apparatus, transmitting production parameters for the on-demand manufacturing to the at least one manufacturing apparatus;
- and
- a payment system communicatively coupled to the central repository, the payment system comprising a second processor and a second memory including second processor executable instructions, that when executed by the second processor, cause the second processor to perform the step of:
- transmitting payment in response to the at least one manufacturing apparatus of the on-demand manufacturer being authenticated by the first processor of the central repository.

A method for authenticating and making payment when carrying out on-demand manufacturing, the method comprising:
- storing, by a processor of a central repository server coupled to at least one manufacturing apparatus of an on-demand manufacturer, manufacturing data, the manufacturing data including at least a certification of the at least one manufacturing apparatus of the on-demand manufacturer;
- receiving, by the processor of the central repository server, instructions for carrying out on-demand manufacturing from at least one user device, the instructions including a device identifier associated with the at least one manufacturing apparatus;
- in response to receiving the instructions, retrieving, by the processor of the central repository server, operational parameters from the at least one manufacturing apparatus based on the device identifier;
- authenticating, by the processor of the central repository server, the at least one manufacturing apparatus based on the certification and the operational parameters;
- in response to authenticating the at least one manufacturing apparatus, transmitting, by the processor of the central repository server, production parameters for the on-demand manufacturing to the at least one manufacturing apparatus;
- and
- transmitting, by a processor of a payment system communicatively coupled to the central repository server, payment in response to the at least one manufacturing apparatus of the on-demand manufacturer being authenticated by the processor of the central repository server.

A method for authenticating and making payment when carrying out on-demand manufacturing, the method comprising:
- storing, by a processor of a central repository server coupled to at least one additive layer printer of an on-demand manufacturer, manufacturing data, the manufacturing data including at least a certification of the at least one additive layer printer of the on-demand manufacturer;
- receiving, by the processor of the central repository server, instructions for carrying out on-demand manufacturing from at least one user device, the instructions including a device identifier associated with the at least one additive layer printer;
- in response to receiving the instructions, retrieving, by the processor of the central repository server, operational parameters from the at least one additive layer printer based on the device identifier;
- authenticating, by the processor of the central repository server, the at least one additive layer printer based on the certification and the operational parameters;
- in response to authenticating the at least one additive layer printer, transmitting, by the processor of the central repository server, production parameters for the on-demand manufacturing to the at least one additive layer printer;
- and
- transmitting, by a processor of a payment system communicatively coupled to the central repository server, payment in response to the at least one additive layer printer of the on-demand manufacturer being authenticated by the processor of the central repository server.
