A group of researchers has discovered ways for manufacturers to turn the tables on thieves by deliberately embedding hidden flaws in CAD files to thwart intellectual property theft. In a new study, they show how certain intentionally induced defects can disappear when the part is printed under a very specific set of conditions.
