    Abstract: One example of a method includes receiving a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object to be 3D printed and voxelizing the 3D model to define a plurality of voxel layers. Each voxel layer defines a plurality of voxel rows including an initial voxel row. The method includes for each voxel layer: exclusively oring (XORing) a key voxel row with the Initial voxel row to provide an initial delta row; and for each voxel row from the voxel row following the initial voxel row to a further voxel row of the plurality of voxel rows, XORing each voxel row with the previous voxel row to provide a delta row for each voxel row.

    Abstract: An additive manufacturing apparatus includes an additive manufacturing engine and an input to receive a plurality of part files to create a plurality of parts. Each part file includes a description of a part to be created by the additive manufacturing engine. A processor interprets a part file to read the description of the part from the part file, stores at least a portion of the description of the part, and repeats the interpretation and storing for each of the received part files. A job composer generates a manufacturing job using the stored descriptions and using characteristics of the additive manufacturing engine, and provides the generated manufacturing job to the additive manufacturing engine.

    Abstract: According to an example, a computing apparatus may include a processing device that may access a three-dimensional (3D) object model of a 3D object and determine whether 3D render data for an equivalent 3D object model has previously been processed, is scheduled to be processed, or is currently being processed, the equivalent 3D object model being equivalent to the accessed 3D object model. The processing device may assign 3D render data corresponding to the equivalent 3D object to the 3D object or may generate processed 3D render data for the 3D object using the accessed 3D object model depending upon whether 3D render data for an equivalent 3D object model has previously been processed, is scheduled to be processed, or is currently being processed.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes acquiring, at a processor, a first data model and a second data model. The first data model comprises a representation of at least one property of at least part of a first object and the second data model comprises a representation of at least one property of at least part of a second object. The first and second objects are to be generated in a common additive manufacturing operation. The method may include generating a first print layer model and a second, different, print layer model using the processor by combining at least parts of the first data model and the second data model and generating additive manufacturing instructions based on the first print layer model and the second print layer model.
