摘要:
A process by which a network service can be used to secure the rights to print 3D copies of items protected by trademark or other protection. Once rights are secured, the process can make a file available so the 3D printer can recreate the object, but not more copies than allowed by the license. The file will have metadata included to allow limitations to be placed on how many times it can be used to create the 3D object on the 3D printer.
