    摘要: In an example, a method for generating control data for production of a three-dimensional object is described. A model of the three-dimensional object is obtained as a array of voxels, and it is determined for each voxel whether that voxel comprises part of a first or a second sub-object of the three-dimensional object. Each first sub-object voxel is mapped to a volume coverage representation defining print material data for that voxel. The second sub-object voxels are mapped to a volume coverage representation defining common print material data for the voxels of second sub-object. Control data for printing the first sub-object is generated from the print material data for that voxel common print material data for the Control data for printing the second sub-object is generated according to the volume coverage representation for the second sub-object.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus for three-dimensional object representation are described. In an example, data representing a three-dimensional object is received, the data comprising an object property description associated with each of a plurality of locations within the object. Distinct object property descriptions are identified and a data object, which has a plurality of addresses, is populated with data indicative of the distinct object property descriptions, such that data indicative of each distinct object property description is represented at a different address. Data comprising a representation of the object is generated, the data comprising a data object address associated with each of a plurality of locations, wherein the data object address corresponds to the address of data indicative of the object property description for that location.
