| Summary: | Additive manufacturing (AM) is increasingly used for the production of functional
components. This process is based on digital design model and can produce customized
components with no additional cost (toolless process). AM is an inherently model-centric approach
to manufacturing which provides a starting point for extending product-centric control and
services to tasks and operations beyond manufacturing. In this paper, we investigate a method to
assign a unique identification to each part using AM and the additional product-centric services
enabled through it, are discussed. The use of a unique identifier in the form of ID@URI which is
additively manufactured (from the design file) on the parts enables additional services throughout
the parts' lifecycle. Assembly, delivery, aftersales services, and maintenance, as well as product
improvement, are the major product-centric services benefiting from identification introduced
through the use of AM. |
