Abstract:
In one example, a computer implemented system manages digital rights pertaining to the  3 D printing of a  3 D digital model or object. The system includes a database of  3 D printing service providers and a computing device that implements a  3 D printing platform in a federated network of  3 D printing service providers. The platform comprises units that act cooperatively to publish a pre-authorization for printing the  3 D digital model or object granted by an owner of digital rights associated with the  3 D digital model or object, receive a request for a  3 D printing task, the request including a selection of the pre-authorized  3 D digital model or object, and rank the plurality of  3 D printing service providers based on a  3 D printing identifier metric. An independent selection of a preferred  3 D printing service provider is received, and printing instructions are transmitted to a  3 D printer service provider.

Claim (Index 7):
A method for managing digital rights pertaining to the 3D printing of a digital model or object, the method including, at least:\n publishing a pre-authorization for printing the 3D digital model or object granted by an owner of digital rights associated with the 3D digital model or object; receiving a request for a 3D printing task, the request including a selection of the pre-authorized 3D digital model or object from a plurality of 3D digital models or objects listed independently of the plurality of 3D service providers; in response to the request for a 3D printing task, ranking the plurality of 3D printing service providers based on a 3D printing identifier metric, wherein the 3D printing identifier metric includes one or more of:\n a 3D printing quality metric; \n a 3D printing quantity metric; \n a 3D print file type; and \n a 3D digital model type; \n listing the plurality of 3D printing service providers based on the ranking; receiving a selection of a preferred 3D printing service provider from the ranked plurality of 3D printing service providers, the selection of the 3D printing service provider independent of the selection of the 3D digital model or object; storing or accessing an authorized version of the independently selected 3D digital model or object, the authorized version of the 3D digital model or object including a design fingerprint associated with the pre-authorization; and transmitting to a 3D printer service provider, printing instructions to print the authorized 3D digital model or object at a 3D printing facility based on the received request for a 3D printing task, wherein the 3D digital model or object is printed accordingly.
