AUTOMATED MODEL SELECTION

摘要

A server is configured to store a library of printable content and to select an item from the library in response to a user request. Instead of the user specifying a particular item, the server can automatically select from a number of different items. The server may automatically determine a printer type for the user and select a suitable, corresponding model for immediate fabrication by the printer.
