In this paper we propose and analyse a method for watermarking 3D printed
objects, concentrating on the watermark retrieval problem. The method
embeds the watermark in a planar region of the 3D printed object in the
form of small semi-spherical or cubic bumps arranged at the nodes of a
regular grid. The watermark is extracted from a single image of the
watermarked planar region through a Convolutional Neural Network.
Experiments with 3D printed objects, produced by filaments of various
colours, show that in most cases the retrieval method has a high accuracy
rate.
