Abstract

A system for evaluating manufacturing feasibility of a graphical design is disclosed. The system includes a secret owner device and a memory, operatively connected to the secret owner device. The memory may be configured to store a three-dimensional form including a three-dimensional shape and a dimension set in three dimensions and at least a local geometric feature. The apparatus may also include a merge engine configured to generate at least a combined three-dimensional graphical design as a function of the three-dimensional graphical design and the at least a contributor graphical design. The apparatus also includes an interrogation engine communicatively connected to the merge engine. The interrogation engine is configured to extract the at least a local geometric feature from the three-dimensional graphical design, evaluate manufacturing feasibility of the combined three-dimensional graphical design, and initiate manufacture of a structure represented in combined three-dimensional graphical design as a function of manufacturing feasibility.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for evaluating manufacturing feasibility of a graphical design, wherein the system comprises:
a secret owner device;
a memory, operatively connected to the secret owner device, the memory configured to store a three-dimensional graphical design including:
a three-dimensional form including a three-dimensional shape and a dimension set in three dimensions; and
at least a local geometric feature;

a merge engine configured to generate at least a combined three-dimensional graphical design as a function of the three-dimensional graphical design and at least a contributor graphical design; and
an interrogation engine communicatively connected to the merge engine, wherein the interrogation engine is designed and configured to:
evaluate the conformance of material data indicated by the three-dimensional graphic design to a global constraint as a function of a material resistance,
extract the at least a local geometric feature from the three-dimensional graphical design;
evaluate manufacturing feasibility of the combined three-dimensional graphical design based on the evaluated conformance to the global constraint; and
initiate manufacture of a structure using represented in combined three-dimensional graphical design as a function of manufacturing feasibility; and

a secret share generator configured to generate a plurality of key shares as a function of a secret share key, wherein the plurality of key shares have a cardinality equal to a number of contributor graphical designs needed to produce the combined graphical design; and
a plurality of contributor devices, wherein each of the plurality of contributor devices is configured to combine the plurality of key shares to produce the combined graphical design.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interrogation engine is further configured to evaluate the contributor graphical design received from the at least a contributor device for manufacturing feasibility.

3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional graphical design further comprises at least a global constraint.

4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interrogation engine is further configured to evaluate the contributor graphical design.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interrogation engine is configured to parse and analyze a design file.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the secret share generator is further configured to generate a secret share key as a function of the at least a graphical secret share and the at least a three-dimensional graphical design.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising a contributor interface, wherein the contributor interface comprises a graphical user interface.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the three-dimensional graphical design further comprises at least a global constraint.

9. The system of claim 8 , wherein the interrogation engine is further configured to evaluate a contributor graphical design received from the at least a contributor device for conformance to the at least a global constraint.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein the secret share generator is further configured to generate at least a secret share constraint as a function of the at least a global constraint.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein the secret owner device is incorporated in an automated manufacturing device.

12. The system of claim 1 , wherein the memory is provided at a cloud storage.

13. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system further comprises a secret share generator executing on the secret owner device and configured to generate at least a dummy feature, wherein a second three-dimensional form further comprises a second dummy feature and wherein generating the second three-dimensional form further comprises combining a three-dimensional geometric primitive with the at least a local geometric feature, the at least a dummy feature, and the second dummy feature.

14. The system of claim 1 , wherein the secret share generator is further configured to generate a new secret share constraint as a function of at least a secret share constraint and adopting the new secret share constraint as at least a part of at least a secret share constraint.

15. The system of claim 1 , wherein the secret share generator is further configured to generate at least a dummy feature, wherein the at least a dummy feature further comprises at least a duplicate of the at least a local geometric feature.

16. The system of claim 15 , wherein the interrogation engine is further configured to evaluate the dummy feature for manufacturing feasibility.

17. The system of claim 1 , wherein the system includes a contributor interface executing on the secret owner device, wherein the contributor interface is configured to provide the at least a graphical secret share to at least a contributor device.

18. The system of claim 1 , wherein the interrogation engine is configured to analyze contributor graphical design as a function of a secret share constraint.
