Security and privacy in cloud 3D printing

In this chapter, we discuss security issues related to cloud 3D printing, including data security of cloud 3D printing platforms, access control for cloud 3D printers, security of cloud 3D printing based on blockchain, and the intellectual property protection problem in cloud 3D printing. For data security, we discuss main data security problems and solutions. Access control methods of cloud 3D printing equipment are also discussed. Then, we discuss the blockchain-based service security technologies and the intellectual property protection problem in the cloud 3D printing environment.
