Identify3D partners with SLM Solutions and Siemens on secure digital manufacturing solutions

Ahead of RAPID + TCT next week, digital supply chain software provider, Identify3D has announced a collaboration with SLM Solutions to deliver end-to-end data protection coupled with contractual and manufacturing licensing for its metal 3D printing systems.
The technology enables SLM Solutions to secure digital IP, enforce production rules and provide traceability in the digital supply chain through an integration of Identify3D Enforce with SLM's MCS machine control software.
"We are very happy about our collaboration with SLM Solutions as the technological leader in metal-based additive manufacturing and the delivery of this proof of concept is a key step to enable decentralized manufacturing, one of the key elements of Industry 4.0," says Stephan Thomas, Co-Founder and Chief Strategy Officer at Identify3D.
The proof of concept ensures secure part delivery to the SLM 125, SLM 280, SLM 500, and SLM 800 machines with control over production quantities over a defined period of time with selected parameters. The two are also in talks regarding further integration of Identify3D solutions into SLM Solutions products.
