Automated testing and quality assurance of 3D printing/3D printed hardware: Assessment for quality assurance and cybersecurity purposes

This paper discusses the automation of quality assurance and produced part testing for additive manufacturing systems. The process of identifying defects, determining their impact and potentially taking corrective action is discussed. Algorithms for this purposes are presented. Examples of assessment are considered. The correction of both incidental and deliberately introduced defects is discussed.
