Abstract: The disclosure generally relates to determining items to build based on inventory in an Internet of Things (IoT) network and using a 3D printer to build the determined items. In particular, inventory in the IoT network may be monitored to predict replacement needs associated with certain items in the IoT network inventory and determine further inventory needs (e.g., based on items that malfunction or break, upcoming calendar events, etc.). In one embodiment, in response to determining that additional inventory items may be needed in the IoT network, licenses and 3D printer blueprints to build the items may be obtained (internally and/or externally) and 3D printing may be scheduled to build the items (e.g., based on a priority scheme, timing criteria, resource availability, etc.), whereby the items may be added to the IoT network inventory when the 3D printer completes 3D print jobs to produce the items.

Abstract translation: 本公开通常涉及根据物联网（IoT）网络中的库存确定要建立的项目，并且使用3D打印机构建所确定的项目。 特别地，可以监视物联网中的库存以预测与物联网网络库存中的某些项目相关联的替换需求，并确定进一步的库存需求（例如，基于故障或中断的项目，即将到来的日历事件等）。 在一个实施例中，响应于确定在IoT网络中可能需要额外的库存物品，可以获得用于构建物品的许可证和3D打印机蓝图（内部和/或外部），并且可以安排3D打印以构建物品（ 例如，基于优先权方案，定时标准，资源可用性等），由此当3D打印机完成3D打印作业以产生物品时，物品可以被添加到物联网网络库存。
