A method and system for tracking and managing additive manufacturing of products includes formalizing a digital contract between a registered product owner and a registered additive manufacturing vendor. The digital contract includes an identification of a design file of the product, an identification of each registered additive manufacturing printer owned by the registered vendor, and an authorized quantity of products to be manufactured. The method further includes providing an access to the design file to the registered vendor upon formalization of the digital contract, and recording a print transaction data received from each registered printer. The print transaction data includes a quantity of products manufactured by the registered printer. The method further includes terminating the digital contract by revoking the access to the design file when the manufactured quantity equals the authorized quantity or upon violation of the digital contract.
