Abstract
Systems, methods, and program products for managing digital production from one or more production devices with one or more sources providing inputs of production designs and/or production options are disclosed.
Claims20
A system for digital production, the system comprising:
- one or more digital production devices for manufacturing a three-dimensional object;
- and
- a digital production management platform comprising one or more processors and at least one non-transitory computer-readable memory, wherein the digital production management platform is configured to:
- receive a first data stream comprising an object design file, the object design file comprising a digital signature embedded within the object design file, wherein the digital signature contains at least one of a production date and an identifying code;
- confirm that production is authorized based on the digital signature;
- securely stream a second data stream to at least one of the one or more digital production devices, the second data stream comprising a first portion of the received object design file, wherein the first portion of the received object design file comprises production instructions;
- securely stream a third data stream to at least one of the one or more digital production devices, the third data stream comprising a second portion of the received object design file, wherein the second portion of the object design file is streamed after detecting the absence of the first portion of the object design file on the at least one or more digital production devices or after receiving a confirmation of removal of the first portion of the object design file from the one or more digital production devices;
- receive a feedback data stream from the one or more digital production devices comprising at least digital production status data;
- and
- track and determine the genealogy of a material used for manufacturing the three-dimensional object.

A system for digital production, the system comprising:
- a plurality of digital production devices for manufacturing three-dimensional objects;
- and a digital production management platform operatively connected to at least one of the plurality of digital production devices via a data network, the digital production management platform comprising one or more processors and at least one non-transitory computer-readable memory, wherein the digital production management platform is configured to:
- receive a first data stream comprising an object design file, the object design file comprising a digital signature embedded within the object design file, wherein the digital signature contains at least one of a production date and an identifying code;
- confirm that production is authorized based on the digital signature;
- stream a second data stream to at least one of the plurality of digital production devices, the second data stream comprising at least a first portion of the received object design file, wherein the at least a first portion of the received object design file comprise production instructions;
- stream a third data stream to at least one of the one or more digital production devices, the third data stream comprising a second portion of the received object design file, wherein the second portion of the object design file is streamed after detecting the absence of the first portion of the object design file on the at least one or more digital production devices or after receiving a confirmation of removal of the first portion of the object design file from the one or more digital production devices;
- and receive a feedback data stream from the at least one digital production device comprising at least digital production status data;
- and track and determine the genealogy of a material used for manufacturing the three-dimensional object.
