Additive Manufacturing (AM) is an emerging manufacturing technology that plays a growing role in both industrial and consumer settings. However, security concerns of the AM have been raised among researchers. In this paper, we present an online detection mechanism for the malicious attempts on AM system, which taps into both audios and videos collected during the actual printing process. For audio signals, we propose to monitor the characteristics or patterns in the spectrogram via the Wasserstain metric. For video signals, we present a path reconstruction method which effectively monitors the motion of the printer extruder. We then show the effectiveness of our methods in a case study using Ender 3D printer, where the cyber-incidence of modifying the internal fill density can be easily identified in an online manner.
Additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D printing is an emerging manufacturing technology that plays a growing role in both industrial and consumer settings. However, security concerns of AM systems have been raised among researchers. In this paper, we present an online detection mechanism for the malicious attempts on AM systems, which taps into both audio and video signals collected during the printing process. For audio signals, we propose to monitor the shift of patterns in the spectrogram and dominant frequencies via a control chart designed based on the Wasserstein metric. For video signals, we propose to monitor the change in the reconstructed path of the extruder via a Hausdorff metric. We then show the effectiveness of our methods in a case study using an Ender 3D printer, where the cyber‐incidence of altering the internal fill density can be easily identified in an online manner.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
