Abstract
In some aspects, methods for measuring a level of usage of one or more replaceable consumable components within a material processing system can include detecting a type of consumable component in use within a processing device of the material processing system; determining, using a computing system, if the type of consumable component in use is a specific type of consumable component; and determining, using the computing system, a usage ratio of the specific type of consumable component used relative to other types of consumable components used within the processing device during a cumulative time period of use of the material processing system.
