1. A control system for a three-dimensional printer, the control system comprising:
a processor; and
a memory storing program code executable by the processor to:
provide a user interface;
receive user input of a selected mode of a plurality of modes for the three-dimensional printer through the user interface; and
in response to the user input of the selected mode, modulate one or more operational parameters of the three-dimensional printer relating to either or both of print agent deposition and thermal energy delivery based on a set of tolerances specific to the selected mode that vary from a default tolerance or a tolerance indicated by a print job.
