Abstract
Systems and methods for 3D printer management can allow or reject printing of an object based on a model that is trained with machine learning. In one example, the model classifies the object according to object type. The object type can be compared against a list, such as a whitelist or blacklist, to determine whether to block the object from printing. The lists can be specific to users, such as based on an organizational group to which the user belongs. A print server can apply the model prior to forwarding the object to a 3D printer for printing. Both the models and the lists can evolve based on machine learning, such as based on which print decisions receive override from administrators.
