The paper gives a detailed review of the approaches adopted for embedding information into/onto additively manufactured parts. The primary purpose of this paper is to review all the techniques adopted for embedding information, highlight notable trends and improvements in these works, and provide design and manufacturing pipelines to realize most of these works. It classifies these approaches into four different categories and summarizes the works carried out in each field. It also compares all the results in textual and tabular forms and then gives a detailed conclusion of the best works in terms of application and effectiveness. The four categories discussed are 3D QR codes, 3D watermarking, steganography and nonclassified methods. Lastly, it discusses the future extensions and potential improvements in the field of embedding information, while exploring manufacturing technologies.
本文详细回顾了将信息嵌入增材制造零件的方法。本文的主要目的是回顾所有用于嵌入信息的技术，突出这些工作中的显著趋势和改进，并提供设计和制造流程以实现其中的大部分工作。它将这些方法分为四个不同的类别，并总结了每个领域所开展的工作。它还以文本和表格形式比较了所有结果，然后就应用和有效性方面给出了最佳工作的详细结论。所讨论的四个类别是3D二维码、3D水印、隐写术和非保密方法。最后，在探索制造技术的同时，讨论了信息嵌入领域未来的扩展和潜在改进。
