Abstract
Control and access of digital files for three dimensional (3D) model printing are supported by an authorized 3D model marketplace. At a system providing the 3D model marketplace, a 3D model file catalog can be searched using a search input that may be at least one image to identify possible results. At least two options for a specific result of the possible results can be available. The at least two options can include an original quality 3D model file and a degrade option 3D model file. The degrade option 3D model file may represent a lower quality or altered version of the original quality 3D model file and can be generated from the original quality 3D model file upon selection of the degrade mode option.
