Assignee: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.
Field: Other special machines (Mechanical engineering)
Classification: CPC G  B | IPC B  G

Claim 9:
10. A three-dimensional (3D) printing system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing instructions executable by the processor to:
receive a 3D object model file from a client device connected to the 3D printing system via a network, the 3D object model file comprising 3D geometric information for a plurality of physical 3D parts to be printed, the 3D geometric information encoded as a logical 3D part, the logical 3D part comprising merged 3D geometric information for the physical 3D parts;
extract, from the 3D object model file, a separate set of 3D geometric information for each physical 3D part;
individually process the separate set of 3D geometric information for each physical 3D part; and
print the physical 3D parts in accordance with the separate set of 3D geometric information for each physical 3D part as has been individually processed,
wherein the 3D geometric information for the physical 3D parts comprises a collection of triangle meshes and transformation matrices positioning the physical 3D parts into a build bed of the 3D printing system.
