The document discusses customization and 3D printing from a software product line perspective. The researchers observed the Thingiverse community to see how they interact and collaborate to customize and produce 3D models. They found that while variability concepts are present, there is no constraints modeling and configuration leads to many issues due to huge complexity with 38 parameters across 8 tabs and 10^28 possible configurations. Software product line engineering techniques like variability modeling and implementation could help address challenges of complexity and cognitive effort for non-software developers customizing 3D models, but may not provide clear benefits for small communities in garages. Future work includes automated techniques to better analyze large datasets and help communities manage complexity.
