Abstract
A method for providing three-dimensional object fabrication status includes the steps of: receiving data pertaining to three-dimensional object(s) fabrication progress; and controlling a graphical user interface to provide a visual representation of the three-dimensional object(s) fabrication progress in the form of one or more progressively filled-in wireframe model representations of the three-dimensional object(s).
