Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is described. The system includes a reader to read an identifier from a storage element associated with a part. An extractor of the system extracts, based on the identifier, lifecycle conditions specific to the part. A controller of the system alters manufacturing operations based on extracted lifecycle conditions for the part.

Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, a system is described. The system includes a reader to 1) read an identifier from a three-dimensional (3D) System printed object that includes a storage element and 2) read a location of the 3D printed object within a build material bed. An extractor of the system extracts, based on the identifier, a post processing operation to execute on the 3D printed object. A controller of the system controls a post processing operation based on extracted post processing operation information and the location.
