1. A method performed by a system for controlling a 3-dimensional printing device comprising a processor and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause the system to perform the method, the method comprising: receiving a request to render an object with the 3-dimensional printing device; comparing information associated with the object with information associated with one or more managed objects at a plurality of resolutions, wherein comparing at one of the plurality of resolutions comprises comparing 3-dimensional shape information at the one of the plurality of resolutions associated with the object with 3-dimensional shape information at the one of the plurality of resolutions associated with the one or more managed objects; determining, based on the comparison, that the object is similar to at least one managed object of the one or more managed objects; identifying a policy associated with the at least one managed object; and enforcing the identified policy in connection with rendering the object with the 3-dimensional printing device.
