“…3D printing is how additive manufacturing (AM) is popularly known, the technology that combined with automation and artificial intelligence (AI) will enable the next industrial revolution. By adding 'layer by layer', AM turns a digital model into a physical object covering a vast array of sectors, materials and processes (CAMPBELL et al, 2011;JOHNSTON et al, 2018;NGO et al, 2018).…”

“…One of the most AM gamechanging solutions that has become a catchphrase is that 'additive manufacturing offers complexity for free'. This means that while in traditional manufacturing the cost and time of production is directly related to the complexity of the object's shape, AM allows the creation of elaborate products practically by the same cost of simple ones; the focus of production is shifted to the creation of the digital design (CAMPBELL et al, 2011;COTTELEER, 2014;JOHNSTON et al, 2018).…”

“…Given its 'layer by layer' way of printing, 3D printed objects are created as single pieces and hence the necessity for multiple subcomponents is reduced; this contrasts with 'subtractive manufacturing' which demands the assembly of multiple parts. As a result, AM has made the fabrication of elaborate items easier, cheaper and faster, allowing the development of even more elaborate geometries without increasing the cost or time of fabrication, and also the making of products that could not be fabricated by traditional methods, which demonstrates that the importance of AM is increasing rapidly, representing a major advancement in the way items are designed, manufactured, sold and fixed (BERMAN, 2012;CAMPBELL et al, 2011;JOHNSTON et al, 2018;SCHULZ et al, 2017).…”

“…In addition, the simplicity of the process, the decreasing cost of printers and the increase in the variety of usable materials in the process make 3D printers a viable solution not only for big companies, but also for designers, engineers, architects, artisans, and even hobbyists. However, experts' opinions diverge in this matter, particularly regarding if the day will come when 3D printers will become a household appliance just as ink-jet printers are nowadays enabling the manufacture of many objects at home (BERMAN, 2012;CAMPBELL et al, 2011;JIANG et al, 2017;JOHNSTON et al, 2018).…”

The present study is a horizon scanning report based on the British model Sigma Scan. It explores possible future issues and trends in 3D printing and its potential impact on society, particularly with regard to new security threats that its spread is expected to cause. This exercise allows for an examination based on the best predictions of how the future of this disruptive and, at the same time, enabling technology is likely to be, in order to better understand the uncertainties that its development will bring. This report addresses the potential implications of the development of 3D printing, in particular for crimes, the likely early indicators of the development of this technology, the simultaneous developments that can serve as inhibitors and drivers, the potential crime preventers and promoters, and the evidence that indicates the possibility of the predicted events. Keywords: 3D printing, additive manufacturing, disruptive technology, enabling technology, security risks.

“…Additive Manufacture (AM) is changing the production standards and the value chains in an unprecedented way [11] [12] [13]. Its distribution sometimes is geographically dispersed, in some scenarios it could be in clusters and then 4.0 industry pops up some considerations about regional ecosystem influence [14] and also RISE Research Institutes of Sweden [15], there are also discussion about frameworks and threats and opportunities.…”

One question raised in this exploratory work with focus on how assure that the Additive Manufacture, AM, let's say 3D printing, produced part fits all the requirements, to fulfil the demands of warranty and performance to assure the proper operation of the system in that this part is included and how to perform the traceability of them. Some other important points in this discussion, regarding the digital files and the parts produced from those files or by files produced from scanned 3D parts, include among others: Copyright and Patent issues, Licensing private or Public (GPL), Creative Commons (CC). Other important topics are about customer adapted production, support licenses i.e. the AM techniques recommend by the supplier of the system to produce a specific part to fulfil the requirements of the system. Traceability of this production and Digital Right Management (DRM) since suppliers are demanded regarding the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) and Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Embargo statements frequently are needed for humanitarian and geopolitical reasons and ensure the fulfilling dimension and scope and demands of an embargo sanction are a trick challenge. The AM could be an opportunity or a threat in this issue. The point surrounding the 4.0 industry is how to define and control the permission to copy and some kind traceability of the produced goods e.g. IoT and "IP or DOI mark", but the ontology logical data and right technological and legal model must be defined. However, if those goods, the spare parts or additional ones, will not be controlled, they potentially could be produced by the entity or nation under embargoes sanctions or some undisclosed ally. The other concerns regarding AM solutions are about software to control in some extent the production of some good and with the possibility that the supplier of the product restrict the production at the buyer as an undeclared embargo, one option is private blockchain key shared by the supplier of the technology able to be AM, the customer and a trusted third part.
