Encrypted File

ericmiller

A computer file that has been encoded into a format that can only be accessed by authorized parties. An algorithm uses a process to encode the file and then decode it by someone with a key or password, called decryption. In additive manufacturing, files used to describe geometry may be encrypted and need decryption to be pre-processed. Build files can also be encrypted after pre-processing and decrypted on the additive manufacturing system.
