An international team of researchers from NYU Tandon, New York and NYU Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates have developed 3D-printed QR codes that can be embedded into materials. Created by an international team of researchers from NYU Tandon, New York, and NYU Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates (UAE), these invisible tags can be internally embedded within additive manufactured components, to be read later only by trusted parties. The tags allow for increased security by adding a new dimension to QR codes by encoding the data with multiple faces. In this study, published in Nature Communications, they used 3D printing technology to create an array of QR codes, each containing up to four faces which could then be scanned using a smartphone or tablet.
