Abstract:
1. A system comprising: a three-dimensional printer including a build volume; a video camera directed toward the build volume; and a user interface for the three-dimensional printer, the user interface including a first control to capture data from the video camera for creating a stop-motion animation of a fabrication of an object from a three-dimensional model on the three-dimensional printer including user controls for editing the stop-motion animation so that an animation of a user-selected length or detail can be created for sharing with a social network platform, and the user interface including a second control to share the data with the social network platform, the second control configured to share information with the social network platform based upon a social graph of a user, the information including the three-dimensional model, status information including at least one photograph captured from the video camera, and a fabrication result for the three-dimensional model including the stop-motion animation.
