Abstract
In the era of digital manufacturing, 3D printing has great potential in the spare parts supply chain due to its characteristics of real-time response manufacturing. In order to improve the docking efficiency of the supply and demand sides in 3D printing, the development of 3D printing cloud platform has received more and more attention. However, the traditional 3D printing platform can neither meet the needs of rapid production in actual production scenes nor create a safe and efficient data sharing mode. In order to meet these challenges, this paper proposes a 3D printing platform based on blockchain. First of all, the production standard identification and coordination solutions of spare parts suppliers are established to carry on the rapid qualification certification to the supplier. Secondly, the blockchain technology on-chain off-chain storage scheme is developed to achieve efficient sharing of 3D printed digital files under the premise of full property rights protection. Third, the product traceability service is developed to ensure the safety and transparency of spare parts. Finally, the effectiveness of the blockchain 3D printing platform is confirmed through the development of the prototype system.
