Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a parts logbook using blockchain technology. The method may include: receiving, by a processor, part information of a part from a first user device; adding, by the processor, a first block including the received part information to a copy of a blockchain database of a blockchain network; verifying, by the processor, the received part information of the part via the blockchain network; when the received part information of the part is verified, generating, by the processor, a parts logbook for the part based on the verified part information of the part; and transferring, by the processor, the generated parts logbook for the part to a second user device for displaying the generated parts logbook on the second user device.

Abstract: A method for secure transfer of an additive manufacturing design file and for process monitoring of additively manufactured articles that are manufactured in accordance with such design file includes the steps of: at an article designer located at a first location, generating the additive manufacturing design file; from the first location, sending the additive manufacturing design file to an additive manufacturing AM vendor located at a second location different from the first location; at the second location, using an additive manufacturing tool, manufacturing the article in accordance with the design file; and at the second location, and using a plurality of process monitoring devices, generating a plurality of process parameters associated with the manufacture of the article; at the second location, generating a cryptographic, distributed ledger comprising the plurality of process parameters. The ledger is generated in the manner of a block-chain.
