HP/Siemens full color MJF 3D-printer;

* Background as related to QD's [misc excerpts]: "This same approach could be applied to validating the authenticity of an object, such as a collectible figurine. By 3D printing an object with an imperceptible color code, a limited-edition Mickey Mouse statue could be validated as the genuine artifact. However, if one was hesitant to alter the colors of an item, he or she could, instead, turn to quantum dots and UV light. By introducing a fluid channel devoted to nanoparticle inks, HP was able to 3D print objects with invisible QR codes, only revealed by UV lights.............As quantum dots can be implemented in solar cells to increase energy absorption, the potential for 3D printing solar panels with complex geometries is not entirely out of the question.........One possible use for such an application would be to 3D print parts with strain gauges embedded within them that could be continuously monitored for stress, wear and tear. Imagine a complete aircraft featuring embedded sensors that could constantly provide feedback, alerting operators as to when a component needed to be replaced and possibly avoiding a potential catastrophe."
