METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR ENFORCING 3D RESTRICTED RIGHTS IN A RAPID MANUFACTURING AND PROTOTYPING ENVIRONMENT
First Claim
1. A method of enforcing 3D restricted rights in a rapid manufacturing and prototyping environment, said method comprising:
- in response to receiving a 3D object data representative of a 3D object, performing, by a computing device, at least one function on the 3D object data to determine a parameter set for each respective at least one function;
applying, by the computing device, at least one business rule to each parameter set for each respective at least one function;
performing, by the computing device, at least one algorithm to determine whether at least a portion of the 3D object matches a rights restricted 3D object; and
in response to determining that at least a portion of the 3D object matches a restricted rights 3D object, causing, by the computing device, an action to be taken, otherwise, in response to determining that at least a portion of the 3D object does not match a restricted rights 3D object, enabling, by the computing device, the 3D object to be rapid manufactured or prototyped.

Abstract
A system and method of enforcing 3D restricted rights in a rapid manufacturing and prototyping environment may include, in response to receiving a 3D object data representative of a 3D object, performing at least one function on the 3D object data to determine a parameter set for each respective function. Business rule(s) may be applied to each parameter set for each respective function. At least one algorithm may be performed to determine whether at least a portion of the 3D object matches a rights restricted 3D object. In response to determining that at least a portion of the 3D object matches a restricted rights 3D object, an action may be caused to be taken, otherwise, in response to determining that at least a portion of the 3D object does not match a restricted rights 3D object, the 3D object may be enabled to be rapid manufactured or prototyped.

9. A system of enforcing 3D restricted rights in a rapid manufacturing and prototyping environment, said system comprising:
-
a storage unit configured to store restricted right 3D objects; a memory configured to store data; a computing device in communication with said storage unit and memory, and configured to; in response to receiving a 3D object data representative of a 3D object, perform at least one function on the 3D object data to determine a parameter set for each respective at least one function; apply at least one business rule to each parameter set for each respective at least one function; perform at least one algorithm to determine whether at least a portion of the 3D object matches a rights restricted 3D object; and in response to determining that at least a portion of the 3D object matches a restricted rights 3D object, cause an action to be taken, otherwise, in response to determining that at least a portion of the 3D object does not match a restricted rights 3D object, enable the 3D object to be rapid manufactured or prototyped. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)
