The system includes a print server coupled through a data network to a plurality of three-dimensional printers. The print server is configured to receive status information from one or more sensors for each one of the plurality of three-dimensional printers and to manage a print queue for each one of the plurality of three-dimensional printers. The system also includes a database coupled in a communicating relationship with the print server and configured to store print queue data and status information for each one of the plurality of three-dimensional printers. The system further includes a web server configured to provide a user interface over the data network to a remote user. The user interface is adapted to present the status information and the print queue data for one or more of the plurality of three-dimensional printers to the user and the user interface adapted to receive a print job from the remote user for one of the plurality of three-dimensional printers. |
