One of the biggest benefits of digital manufacturing is the ability to more easily trace parts throughout their lifetime. Product traceability is critical when it comes to quality control, regulatory compliance and supply chain transparency. However, it can be hard for users to know how to take advantage of this and have a truly secure and verifiable record of a part’s lifecycle. That is why we sat down with Henrik Peiss and Dr. Ulrich Jahnke to talk about how digital product passports can be integrated into Desktop Metal’s additive manufacturing technology, binder jetting, for real-time tracking data. We discuss how this approach enhances authenticity, streamline certification processes, and paves the way for widespread industry adoption.
