Mass customisation governance: regulation, liability, and intellectual property of re-distributed manufacturing in 3D bioprinting

The feasibility study assesses the impacts of existing legal regimes on re-distributed manufacturing (RDM) in 3D bioprinting (bio-3DP). It investigates the viability of an embedded watermarking system into mass customisation governance of RDM as part of the potential impact of the three most important regimes on 3DP - regulation, liability, and intellectual property (IP) - in order to secure safety, quality control, surveillance, and traceability.
