Abstract: A contemplated system analyzes files used to create 3D objects by first virtually constructing the 3D object, and then by examining the virtual construct in a variety of different ways to determine if the 3D object has protected content. The system could examine the virtualized object from a variety of different angles, read characters embossed or imprinted upon the 3D object, and could even play virtualized records and other virtualized video/audio tools to determine if the 3D object has protected content. If the system rules that the 3D object has a high probability of having protected content, an alert is sent to an appropriate authority.
