Abstract

According to an example, with respect to decentralized supply chain for three-dimensional printing based on distributed ledger technology, three-dimensional printing constraints may be ascertained for a three-dimensional part to be printed, and a plurality of attributes for three-dimensional printers may be ascertained. The three-dimensional printing constraints may be compared to each attribute of the plurality of attributes. A determination may be made as to whether the three-dimensional part is printable by at least one three-dimensional printer or not printable by any three-dimensional printer. Costs associated with three-dimensional printing of the three-dimensional part and non-three-dimensional printing based manufacturing of the three-dimensional part may be ascertained. A determination may be made as to whether the three-dimensional part is to be printed by the at least one three-dimensional printer. A distributed electronic ledger may control execution of the electronic three-dimensional printing file for the three-dimensional part, and control printing of the three-dimensional part.
