1. A method comprising:
receiving a request to fabricate an object from a three-dimensional model;
determining a target printer to fabricate the object;
querying the target printer for configuration information of the target printer relevant to creation of a printable model for fabrication of the object on the target printer;
receiving, from the target printer, a dictionary of configuration information containing one or more properties from the target printer that affect fabrication capabilities of the target printer;
creating a fabrication profile based on the one or more properties; and generating a machine-ready representation of the three-dimensional model
executable by the target printer to fabricate the object.
