Abstract: A solution for monitoring the manufacturing of items with a 3D printer is presented. The solution comprises detecting (302) initiation of a manufacturing process where a 3D printer is used to manufacture an item; controlling (306) one or more sensors to obtain first information from the input materials to be utilised by the 3D printer during the manufacturing process; controlling (308) one or more sensors to obtain second information the 3D printer and the item being produced by the 3D printer during the manufacturing process; controlling (310) one or more sensors to obtain third information the item after the manufacturing process; storing (312) the first, second and third information; creating (314) from the first, second and third information an identification for the manufactured item.
