Abstract

Many industries are rapidly adopting additive manufacturing (AM) because of the added versatility this technology offers over traditional manufacturing techniques. But with AM, there comes a unique set of security challenges that must be addressed. In particular, the issue of part verification is critically important given the growing reliance of safety-critical systems on 3D printed parts. In this thesis, the current state of part verification technologies will be examined in the con- text of AM-specific geometric-modification attacks, and an automated tool for 3D printed part verification will be presented. This work will cover: 1) the impacts of malicious attacks on AM using geometrically-modified 3D models, 2) a 3D part reconstruction approach from medical imaging scans, 3) a mesh alignment technique based on point set registration, de- signed to handle abnormal part geometries, and 4) an automatic error detection and defect visualization tool for comparing the geometric similarity of 3D printed parts to their intended geometries.
