Claim Text:
1. A system comprising: a three-dimensional printer including a build volume; a video camera directed toward the build volume and configured to provide a video feed of the build volume; a machine vision system configured to analyze image content to obtain information about the status of a print job on the three-dimensional printer by comparing actual three-dimensional results within the build volume to expected three-dimensional results from a three-dimensional model for the print job, and further configured to provide error detection for the print job and to address a fabrication error based on the comparison prior to completion of the print job; a processor coupled to the three-dimensional printer, the processor configured to provide a web server that serves a web page displaying the video feed of the build volume; and a network interface configured to couple the three-dimensional printer and the processor in a communicating relationship with a data network, the web server configured to host a remote user of the three-dimensional printer through the network interface, the web server including a user interface with a display of a visual alert based on the error detection.
