  • Feature protection for three-dimensional printing
    Patent number: 11318677
    Abstract: In some examples, with respect to feature protection for three-dimensional printing, a three-dimensional model of a three-dimensional object to be printed may be ascertained. A determination may be made as to whether a configuration of a three-dimensional model feature of the three-dimensional model matches a removable feature configuration from a set of removable feature configurations. Based on a determination that the configuration of the three-dimensional model feature of the three-dimensional model matches the removable feature configuration from the set of removable feature configurations, the three-dimensional model feature may be removed from the three-dimensional model to generate a modified three-dimensional model.
