Examples disclosed herein relate to a finishing system for a three-dimensional (3D) printed part. Example systems include a sensor to detect a marking on a portion of the 3D printed part. A post-processing component of the system may perform a finishing operation on the portion of the 3D printed part while the marking is detected on the 3D printed part.

Finishing three-dimensional printed parts

According to one aspect, there is provided a method of forming a layer of build material on a build platform of a three-dimensional printing system. The method comprises obtaining characteristics of a build volume to be processed, determining characteristics of a volume of build material to be used to form the layer, forming an intermediate volume of build material having the determined characteristics, and spreading the intermediate volume of build material over the build platform to form the layer.

Forming layers of build material of a three-dimensional printing system

According to an example, in a method for forming a three-dimensional (3D) printed object, a plurality of layers of the 3D printed object and a channel that extends through the plurality of layers may be formed, in which the plurality of layers is formed of a first material. In addition, a supporting element may be inserted into the channel such that the supporting element extends through multiple layers of the plurality of layers, in which the supporting element is formed of a second material that differs from the first material.

Private data to be communicated to a recipient is encrypted with the public key of a public and private key pair associated with the recipient. An optically readable format of the encrypted private data is generated. The optically readable format may be provided to the recipient.

Optically readable format of encrypted data

According to an example, an apparatus may include a hardware processor that is to access a first scanned image, in which the first scanned image corresponds to a scanned first feature of a three-dimensional (3D) object, perform a search for models matching the 3D object based upon the first scanned image, identify, from the search, a first set of candidate models, identify, from the first set of candidate models, a general identity of the 3D object, determine, based upon the identified general identity of the 3D object, a second feature of the 3D object that is to be scanned, and output an instruction to obtain a second scanned image of the determined second feature of the 3D object.

Identify a model that matches a 3D object

Example implementations relate to computing devices with movable input/output (I/O) connectors. For example, a computing device may include a chassis of the computing device and an I/O connector to connect an I/O device to the computing device. The I/O connector may be movable about an axis relative to the chassis by at least 180 degrees such that the I/O connector is accessible from multiple sides of the chassis.

Computing devices with movable input/output connectors

An example unmanned aerial vehicle includes an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) sensor. The EMR sensor detects a signal indicative of a direction of emission of the signal. The unmanned aerial vehicle also includes a nozzle to eject the substance based on the direction of emission.

Signaling print locations

An example unmanned aerial vehicle includes an electromagnetic radiation (EMR) sensor. The EMR sensor detects a signal indicative of a substance to print. The unmanned aerial vehicle also includes a nozzle to eject the substance based on a location at which the signal is detected.

Signaling print substances

System and methods are disclosed for determining the print path of a printer to facilitate manual duplexing. The method includes instructing a printing device to print a first object on a first side of a test sheet and then instructing a user to reinsert the test sheet in the printing device. The printing device is then instructed to print a second object on the test sheet. The user can further provide information indicating a location of the second object with respect to the first object. Based on the information, the printing path of the printer is determined.

Determining the print path of a printing device

In one embodiment, an instruction to share a printer is received at a print service, via a network, from a first user that is a member of a social networking service. A print job is received at the print service, via the network, from a second user that is a member of the social networking service. The print job is sent, via the network, to the printer to print.

Method and system to share a printer and print

Example systems and methods provide for maintaining a list of printer associations between user addresses and a set of network printers. A print request directed to a destination email address may be received from a respective user address. Examples provided herein can determine whether one or more of the set of network printers is associated with the respective user address based on the list of printer associations.

Using a generic email address of a server and a sender email address to determine a destination printer for print data

One example discloses a network system for managing a print job. The network system can comprise a printing system. The printing system can comprise a memory for storing computer executable instructions and a processing unit for accessing the memory and executing the computer executable instructions. The computer executable instructions can comprise a printer server to generate a print job for a printer based on a received print email message. The print job can be generated based on an email decoration in the print email message. The email decoration can include a request specifying printing parameters for the print job.

Systems and methods for managing a print job

An electronic message is received from a sender having a destination address indicative of a request to print data included in the message. A printer is determined to fulfill the request based at least in part on the sender address and a printer characteristic. The data to be printed is sent to the printer for fulfillment of the request.

The invention relates to a computer-implemented method of updating a virtual machine class file, including the steps of identifying a class file for execution by a virtual machine, accessing the class file in a class file repository, and downloading the class file to a file system associated with the virtual machine.

Runtime updating of virtual machine class files

Personalized messages can be generated according to contents detected in communications between parties to a commercial transaction. The information streams between parties is monitored; spoken keywords, images, video or textual data are detected by pattern recognition, voice recognition or text matching. One or more subjects of the communication detected from recognized keywords, images, video or text data are used to generate a personalized message to one or more participants according to the detected subjects.
