I’m not sure if DRM will be an option, DRM usually works either with an online legitimation from the device running the software or it is included in the firmware. So you would need to develop industry standards to which manufacturers adhere, so having bodies and industry associations.

I don’t see this happening for 3d Printers, given that most of them come from a maker scene and there is not a big company behind the stl standard like blue ray, DVD or VHS, nor do I see consumers accepting such a change, nor a possibility to press such standards on to the market.
