1. A method comprising:
- receiving instructions to generate a multi-component product on a processing device;
processing the instructions;
identifying a first recipe to produce a first component of the multi-component product;
identifying at least a second recipe to produce at least a second component of the multi-component product, wherein the first and second recipes are chosen from a plurality of available recipes;
altering the first recipe based on the second recipe; and
executing the first and second recipes,wherein the first recipe is executed within a first manifold of the processing device, wherein the first manifold is chosen from the group consisting of;
a mixing manifold, a blending manifold, a grinding manifold, a heating manifold, a cooling manifold, a freezing manifold, a steeping manifold, a nozzle, a pressure manifold, a vacuum manifold, and an agitation manifold, andwherein the second recipe is executed within a second manifold of the processing device, wherein the second manifold is different from the first manifold, and wherein the second manifold is chosen from the group consisting of;
