    Abstract: Printer control data is generated which includes a three dimensional model for a protective structure to be built around a printed object by a three-dimensional printing apparatus, which protective structure is configured to compensate for the distorting effects of uneven shrinkage during cooling. The three dimensional model for the protective structure comprises a plurality of side panels and at least one extensible member interconnecting two or more of the side panels, which extensible member is configured to be extensible in response to shrinkage of the plurality of side panels during cooling. A method and apparatus is disclosed which obtains object model data defining an object to be built by a three-dimensional printing apparatus and automatically generates a three dimensional model for a suitable protective structure that has extensibility as an integral feature of the design to compensate for uneven shrinkage.

    Abstract: An example method includes obtaining, by at least one processor, a plurality of categorised indications of deviations from expected dimensions for at least one object generated using an additive manufacturing apparatus wherein the categories comprise at least two of a first dimension type comprising dimensions which are expected to increase on application of a positive offset to object model data used to generate an object, a second dimension type comprising dimensions which are expected to decrease on application of a positive offset to the object to object model data used to generate an object, and a third dimension type comprising dimensions which are expected to be unaffected by application of an offset to object model data used to generate an object. The method may include determining a geometrical compensation model to apply to object model data for generating objects using additive manufacturing to compensate for anticipated deviations in dimensions.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes generating a training dataset for an inference model to generate dimensional modifications to apply to object models to compensate for departures from model dimensions in objects generated using additive manufacturing based on those object models. Generating the training dataset may include acquiring, for each of a plurality of generated objects, (i) an indication of a first dimensional inaccuracy and a second dimensional inaccuracy, wherein the first and second dimensional inaccuracies are acquired in a direction of a first axis and relate to respective first and second object dimensions; and (ii) an indication of object placement within a fabrication chamber during object generation.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, at least one processor, object model data representing at least a portion of a first object that is to be generated by an additive manufacturing apparatus by fusing build material within a fabrication chamber. An indication of an amount of fused build material in a region of the fabrication chamber which is to be below the region in which the first object is to be generated may be determined and a dimensional compensation value to apply to the object model data representing the first object may be determined based on the determined indication. The determined dimensional compensation value may be applied to the object model data to derive modified object model data.
