This is more of the same garbage IP that blocks up the world.
This is effectively trying to patent 3d printing process pipeline. Something breaks, you replace it.
How can this patent pend include items that are not sensor based? That's what we do today.
A sensor tells you something is broken, is barely better than you knowing something is broken.
Might as well patent text messages and emails as well. The device breaks, sends you a message, you instruct printer, make a new one.
It will still be used as a club for generic threats thou
Garbage IP, good for lawyers, bad for everyone else
