Zusammenfassung:	A system for protecting a printing capability may include sprinting consumable, and a data element associated with the printing consumable, the data element defining an assigned association between the printing consumable and a printing capability. Also, a method of protecting a printing capability via consumables may include assigning an association between a printing consumable and a printing capability, the association protecting the printing capability based on availability of the printing consumable, determining whether the printing consumable is installed in a 3D printing device to allow for the execution of the printing capability in forming a 3D object, and in response to a determination that the printing consumable is installed in the 3D printing device to allow for the execution of the printing capability, permitting the printing of the 3D object using the printing capability and consuming of the printing consumable.
