1. A system comprising:
- a user interface configured to receive a user input;
a data interface configured to connect to a predetermined library of printable three-dimensional content;
a printer interface configured to connect to a three-dimensional printer; and
processing circuitry, the processing circuitry configured to receive the user input from a user that does not specify an item in the library of printable three-dimensional content and in response to the user input, to select an item of printable three-dimensional content from the predetermined library of printable three-dimensional content according to one or more criteria for the user and to transmit the item of printable three-dimensional content to the three-dimensional printer through the printer interface for fabrication.

Abstract
A server is configured to store a library of printable content and to select an item from the library in response to a user request. Instead of the user specifying a particular item, the server can automatically select from a number of different items. The server may automatically determine a printer type for the user and select a suitable, corresponding model for immediate fabrication by the printer.
