Picometrix a subsidiary of Advanced Photonix supplied the Terahertz platform and tools used in INFRASTRUCTS

(see: http://terahertztechnology.blogspot.com/2013/07/internal-thz-tagging-technique_23.html )

The joint venture by Carnegie Melon and Microsoft to develop a new technology called Infrastructs which embeds information directly inside items which can then be read by a THz scanner and which can be used in 3D printing, used a Picometrix platform.

Gizmodo had this to say about Inftrastructs:
Say you have a 3D-printed item you're selling. Maybe you slap a barcode on it that identifies what it is, where it came from, and how much it costs. However, Microsoft has developed a new technology called InfraStructs that offers a better alternative. With it, you could embed information directly inside of an item.
