MODIFYING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT TO BE PRINTED WITHOUT EXCEEDING A TIME OR COST THRESHOLD

摘要

A method and a computer program product for performing the method are provided. The method includes identifying a data file including parameters for causing a three-dimensional printer to print a three-dimensional model of an object, identifying a total time or total cost threshold for printing the three-dimensional model of the object on the three-dimensional printer, obtaining a unit time or unit cost for one or more resources required for printing, modifying one or more of the parameters of the data file so that the three-dimensional model of the object can be printed without exceeding the time or cost threshold, and causing the three-dimensional printer to print the three-dimensional model of the object using the modified parameters.
