Systems and methods for selecting processes to manufacture an object

A system for selecting processes to manufacture an object, the system comprising a computing device designed and configured to:

• receive, at a computing device, one or more files providing a design of an object to be manufactured, wherein the computing device is configured to:
• identify, as a function of the design:
• a first comprehensive process for manufacturing the object using a first exterior element;
• and
• a second comprehensive process for manufacturing the object using a second exterior element, wherein the first exterior element is distinct from the second exterior element;
• communicate the first comprehensive process and the second comprehensive process via one or more application programming interfaces to one or more remote computing devices of third parties;
• receive from the one or more remote computing devices via the one or more application programming interfaces, a first exterior element dataset and a second exterior element dataset;
• generate an objective function of the first exterior element dataset and the second exterior element dataset;
• and
• provide a selection of a process of the first comprehensive process and the second comprehensive process based on the objective function.
