I wonder if something like that is implemented in 3D printers.

  If we're talking about FDM... Unless you're buying from a non-open-hardware company (like Makerbot, which you shouldn't anyway), you should be fine. Thhey use an all open-source software chain (ie. Slic3r -> Printrun/OctoPrint -> Marlin)

  ... to stop someone forging gold bars?

    Presumably such a mechanism in 3D printers would be used to try to stop people from printing guns and anything else a government might frown upon, like drug paraphernalia, etc.

    Or from making offset printing plates that can be used to print dollars.
