Abstract

The present disclosure provides methods and systems for three-dimensional (3D) printing. In an example, a system and method for maintaining a command history in 3D printing software is disclosed. In an example, a method for updating a plurality of printing instructions comprises maintaining a plurality of printing states corresponding to the plurality of printing instructions, wherein a first state corresponds to a first set of printing instructions for printing a first portion of a 3D object. The plurality of printing states may comprise a final state comprising final printing instructions. User instructions may be received to select a second state that is not the final state. A new state may be generated comprising a second set of printing instructions for printing second portion of the 3D object. The plurality of printing instructions may be updated with the second set of printing instructions to yield an updated plurality of printing instructions.
