The paper gives a detailed review of the approaches adopted for embedding information into/onto additively manufactured parts. The primary purpose of this paper is to review all the techniques adopted for embedding information, highlight notable trends and improvements in these works, and provide design and manufacturing pipelines to realize most of these works. It classifies these approaches into four different categories and summarizes the works carried out in each field. It also compares all the results in textual and tabular forms and then gives a detailed conclusion of the best works in terms of application and effectiveness. The four categories discussed are 3D QR codes, 3D watermarking, steganography and nonclassified methods. Lastly, it discusses the future extensions and potential improvements in the field of embedding information, while exploring manufacturing technologies.

Creating tougher interfaces via suture morphology in 3D-printed multi-material polymer composites by fused filament fabrication Altuntas, Umut; Çöker, Demirkan; Yavas, Denizhan (2023-01-05) This study presents a facile strategy for architecting the interface morphology to create tougher and stronger interfaces in additively manufactured multi-material polymer composites. A sutural interfacial morphology between two dissimilar polymer phases PLA (hard) and TPU (soft) is designed and fabricated by the fused filament fabrication technique. The proposed strategy utilizes one of the process parameters (i.e., overlap distance) to create sutural interfaces with soft protrusions. The microscopic inspe...
Embedding QR codes on the interior surfaces of FFF fabricated parts Gültekin, Sinan; Ural, Ahmet; Yaman, Ulaş (2019-01-01) Quick Response (QR) codes have been utilized in various fields of manufacturing after their introduction to the automotive industry. Due to their error correction algorithms, they have advantages over the other coding schemes. Various information regarding the parts can be stored into these QR codes, which are conventionally printed on the labels of the artifacts. In this study, we propose an automated approach for embedding QR codes on the interior flat surfaces of 3D printed artifacts. Since we are using ...
Deep learning-based encoder for one-bit quantization Balevi, Eren; Andrews, Jeffrey G. (2019-12-01) © 2019 IEEE.This paper proposes a deep learning-based error correction coding for AWGN channels under the constraint of one-bit quantization in receivers. An autoencoder is designed and integrated with a turbo code that acts as an implicit regularization. This implicit regularizer facilitates approaching the Shannon bound for the one-bit quantized AWGN channels even if the autoencoder is trained suboptimally, since one-bit quantization stymies ideal training. Our empirical results show that the proposed cod...
Constraint handling in genetic algorithm integrated structural optimization Hasançebi, Oğuzhan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2000-01-01) This paper is concerned with constraint handling techniques in GA integrated structural optimization. A modified version of Joines and Houck's [18] penalty function method is introduced and studied with respect to discrete optimization of truss structures. Three test cases are designed and numerically examined to reflect three distinct situations of loading and constraints. Certain recommendations are reached for penalty parameter values. Furthermore, the considered penalty function is reformulated to elimi...
Using object-oriented materialized views to answer selection-based complex queries Alhajj, R; Polat, Faruk (1999-09-01) Presented in this paper is a model that utilizes existing materialized views to handle a wide range of complex selection-based queries, including linear recursive queries. Such queries are complex because it is almost impossible for naive users to predict the formulation of their predicate expressions. Object variables bound to objects in the result of a query are allowed to appear in the predicate of that query. Also, the predicate definition is extended to make it possible to have in the output only a sub...
