Abstract

According to examples, a three-dimensional (3D) fabrication system may include a fabrication component, a monitoring component, and a controller. The controller may access a record specifying an identification of a parameter to be monitored during a fabrication operation of a part, cause the fabrication component to fabricate the part, and cause the monitoring component to monitor the parameter during fabrication of the part and generate data corresponding to the monitored parameter. The controller may also cause the generated data to be recorded in a blockchain ledger.
