Classification: CPC G  B  Y | IPC B  G

Claim 15:
16. One or more non-transitory computer-readable storage media storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computing devices, cause the one or more computing devices to perform a specified method comprising:
receiving a request for a display of a plurality of parts in a new build volume, by a parts-packing software, via a user interface to a parts packing software program, the user interface to enable a user to:
supply an image of a build volume generated by the parts packing software program, wherein the build volume is a three-dimensional (3D) representation of a plurality of parts to be simultaneously 3D manufactured in a build bed; and
enable manipulation of one or more of the plurality of parts in the build volume image, resulting in a modified build volume image, wherein the manipulation include an orientation for identical parts in the modified build volume, wherein a symbol is placed on an edge of a part of the plurality of parts, wherein the parts packing software program orients the part based on the symbol;

determining, by the parts packing software, the new build volume by processing the modified build volume image by the parts packing software; and
automatically displaying, by the parts packing software, the plurality of parts via the user interface on a screen of a computing device based on the new build volume.
