The toolfree production of parts using 3D printing technology enables dynamic use of the production area. On the one hand, this makes it possible to react flexibly to changes and, on the other hand, to achieve a high level of efficiency in the production units. The blockchain technology enables a common database between the participants. This leads to a verifiable collaboration in the case of the relationship between customer and manufacturer. This paper describes how available additive manufacturing resources can be identified and offered in a decentralized production network.
