Abstract

Systems and methods for 3D printer management can allow or reject printing of an object based on a model that is trained with machine learning. In one example, the model classifies the object according to object type. The object type can be compared against a list to determine whether to block the object from printing. The object can also be compared to previously printed objects. The object can be blocked from printing if a combination of the object and a previously printed object amounts to a threshold amount of a blacklisted item. The lists can be specific to users, such as an organizational group to which the user belongs. A print server can apply the model prior to forwarding the object to a 3D printer for printing. Both the models and the lists can evolve based on machine learning, such as based on which print decisions receive override from administrators.
