Providing services related to item delivery via 3D manufacturing on demand

A system, comprising:

• a memory that stores computer-executable instructions;
• and
• a processor configured to access the memory, the processor further configured to execute the computer-executable instructions to cause the processor to at least:
• provide an electronic marketplace for items, the items including a plurality of items, wherein each item of the plurality of items is associated with 3D manufacturing instructions;
• in response to receiving an order from a user for an item of the plurality of items, provide, to the user, access to corresponding 3D manufacturing instructions associated with the item;
• receive a request for scaling of the item to a larger size or a smaller size;
• reconfigure the 3D manufacturing instructions for the item based on the request;
• provide the reconfigured 3D manufacturing instructions to a 3D manufacturing apparatus;
• in response to providing the reconfigured 3D manufacturing instructions, cause the 3D manufacturing apparatus to manufacture the item at the larger size or at the smaller size, wherein the access to the 3D manufacturing instructions associated with the item is limited by a length of time that is based at least in part on an estimated amount of time for a manufacturing apparatus to manufacture the item;
• and
• generate delivery instructions for delivering the manufactured first item to the user.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium including instructions that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:

• providing an electronic marketplace for items, the items including a plurality of items, wherein each item of the plurality of items is associated with 3D manufacturing instructions;
• in response to receiving an order for an item of the plurality of items, providing, to the user, access to the 3D manufacturing instructions associated with the item;
• receiving a request from the user for scaling of the item to a larger size or a smaller size;
• reconfiguring the 3D manufacturing instructions for the item based at least in part on the request;
• providing the reconfigured 3D manufacturing instructions to a 3D manufacturing apparatus;
• in response to providing the reconfigured 3D manufacturing instructions, causing the 3D manufacturing apparatus to manufacture the item at the larger size or the smaller size, wherein the access to the 3D manufacturing instructions associated with the item is limited by a length of time that is based at least in part on an estimated amount of time for a manufacturing apparatus to manufacture the item;
• and
• generating delivery instructions for delivering the manufactured item to the user.
