An optical element includes a substrate having at least one surface on which a layer of material is disposed, the layer of material being selected to be at least partially transmissive to radiation with a predetermined wavelength \u03bb. The layers are derived from previous decomposition of the part or object along specific planes, and one or several steps. The system provides for auto-decisioning of low-risk, low-amount transactions while enabling authorized users to manually decision and otherwise manage transactions through various workflow-driven graphical user interfaces.
