Abstract
A structure authentication system includes a sensor configured to sense identifying features of a three-dimensional (3D) printed structure and generate identifying feature data based on the identifying features, as well as a processor configured to receive, from the sensor, the identifying feature of the 3D printed structure. The processor is also configured to analyze the identifying feature data along with a non-fungible token (NFT) database that correlates a plurality of NFTs to a plurality of identifying feature data to determine whether the 3D printed structure is associated with an NFT within the NFT database. Additionally, the processor is configured to query a blockchain to determine whether the NFT is authentically associated with the 3D printed structure. The processor is also configured to, in response to determining that the NFT is authentically associated with the 3D printed structure, send a notification to a user device indicating that the 3D printed structure is authentic.
