Boeing Teams Up With Assembrix For Secure 3D Printing

May 15, 2018 | American aerospace multinational Boeing announced this week that it signed a memorandum of understanding with Israeli company Assembrix, which developed a SaaS platform for 3D printers, to use its software “to manage and protect intellectual property shared with vendors during design and manufacturing.” Boeing Israel president David Ivry said the agreement “expands Boeing’s ties to Israeli industry while helping companies like Assembrix expand their business. Boeing seeks suppliers globally who meet stringent quality, schedule, cost and intellectual capital, and Assembrix does all of that.” Assembrix CEO Lior Polak said in a statement, “We are pleased to partner with Boeing and value its confidence in us and in our capabilities. This collaboration supports our vision to develop and implement innovative solutions that connect the world and take the additive manufacturing digital thread one step forward.” Assembrix’s software, Boeing said, “will enable Boeing to transmit additive manufacturing design information using secure distribution methods to protect data from being intercepted, corrupted or decrypted throughout the distribution and manufacturing processes.”
