Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Three-dimensional fabrication resources are improved by adding networking capabilities to three-dimensional printers and providing a variety of tools for networked use of three-dimensional printers. Web-based servers or the like can provide a single point of access for remote users to manage access to distributed content on one hand, and to manage use of distributed fabrication resources on the other.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a three-dimensional printer including a build volume; a video camera directed toward the build volume; and a user interface for the three-dimensional printer, the user interface including a first control to capture data from the video camera for creating a stop-motion animation of a fabrication of an object from a three-dimensional model on the three-dimensional printer including user controls for editing the stop-motion animation so…
