Zusammenfassung:	A three dimensional printing system includes an appliance tier, a processing tier, and a work cell tier. The appliance tier (1) defines a client interface for receiving process parameters and data pipeline parameters for a given production job, and (2) provides instructions based upon the process parameters. The processing tier processes the data pipeline parameters and outputs a sequence of slice data arrays pursuant to a print engine platform. The work cell tier includes a work cell server and a plurality of functional cells. A functional cell can be a print engine, a post processing station, an inspection station, or a robotic transport mechanism. The work cell server transfers the slice data arrays to one or more print engines. Based upon the instructions from the appliance server tier the work cell server sequentially operates the plurality of functional cells to produce a three dimensional article of manufacture.
