Method and system for providing automated high scale fabrication of custom items

A method for manufacturing a plurality of unique items on a fabrication tray, comprising the steps of:

• (a) receiving, by a processing unit, a data batch including manufacturing data associated with a plurality of stages of a treatment profile, each of the plurality of stages of the treatment profile corresponding to one of the plurality of unique items;
• and
• (b) operating the processing unit, in accordance programmed instructions, to:
• (1) convert the manufacturing data of the data batch into a plurality of object data files, each of the object data files including three-dimensional object data associated with one of the plurality of stages of the treatment profile;
• (2) generate a tray data file based on the object data files, the tray data file including optimized layout information representing an optimized spacing and orientation of the plurality of unique items to be manufactured on the fabrication tray;
• and
• (3) determine an orientation and location on the fabrication tray for each of the plurality of unique items in accordance with the optimized layout information and the three-dimensional object data in each of the object data files;
• and
• (c) manufacturing each of the plurality of unique items in its determined orientation and location on the fabrication tray.
