Abstract:
This paper explores the application of Web3.0 technologies to provide de-centralised secure, private, and provenance preserving trust networks for society's increasingly digital design and manufacture workflows. It provides an overview of the key technologies involved and an example of a minimal trust framework required for issuing jobs between actors and machines in a makerspace. A comparison with centralised AM farm platforms is made and demonstrates how Web3.0 can support emergent trust structures compared to fixed centrally managed structures that actors need to agree to.
