Authentise and Guardtime today announced a partnership in which they will seek to protect Intellectual Property from unauthorized use. 3D Printing and scanning is certain to cause chaos in the IP world. Therefore the companies are setting up to take on the impending IP theft that will slowly emerge as 3D printers and scanners become ever more commonplace.
