Abstract
The present disclosure provides techniques for finding non-printable features in a three-dimensional (3D) printable object. An example method includes receiving a first encrypted file and a request to process the first encrypted file to identify non-printable features of a 3D printable object, wherein the first encrypted file is an encrypted complement of an object file that comprises a specification of the 3D printable object. The method also includes computing a first encrypted Minkowski sum of the first encrypted file and an encrypted minimum feature file to generate an encrypted intermediate file and sending the encrypted intermediate file. The method also includes receiving a second encrypted file that comprises an encrypted complement of the encrypted intermediate file and computing a second encrypted Minkowski sum of the second encrypted file and the encrypted minimum feature file to generate an encrypted result file that describes non-printable features of the 3D printable object.
