Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, at a processor, data representing a three dimensional object. Using the processor, a modified data representation of the three dimensional object may be determined wherein, in the modified data representation, the three dimensional object is represented in terms of homogenous sub-volumes. Each homogenous sub-volume is homogenous with respect to a predetermined attribute and contains locations which are within a common object boundary distance band of plurality of object boundary distance bands, wherein at least two object boundary distance bands partially overlap.

Abstract: In an example, an apparatus comprises processing circuitry, the processing circuitry comprising: memory, to store a two-dimensional pixel representation of a layer of an object to be made in an additive manufacturing process and pixel information, the pixel information specifying pixels representing a surface of the object and colour for the pixels representing the surface; and an image processor, to generate a downscaled representation of the layer and to process the downscaled representation to propagate colour from pixels representing the surface of the object in the downscaled representation to neighbouring pixels representing an interior of the object in the downscaled representation.

Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, at a processor, an object model describing a geometry of a three-dimensional object, and determining a transformed data model describing a volume containing a modified version of the three-dimensional object as a plurality of categorised contiguous, non-overlapping sub-volumes, wherein the modified version of the three-dimensional object includes a surface offset. Determining the transformed data model may comprises categorising the sub-volumes by defining a first region by determining an area swept by an offset operator when the offset operator is swept around a boundary of the sub-volume and defining a second region, interior to the first region, and indicative of the closest approach of the offset operator to the sub-volume when the offset operator is swept around the boundary. Intersections between a surface of the object model and at least one of the first and second region may be determined. When the surface intersects the second region, the sub-volume may be categorised as interior to the three-dimensional object; and when the surface intersects the first region and not the second region, the sub-volume may categorised as spanning a boundary of the three-dimensional object.

Abstract: A method of printing an envelope for encapsulating at least one 3D printed object, the envelope allowing for removal of the at least one 3D printed object from an additive manufacturing system, the method comprising: monitoring a printing queue for one or more print jobs; determining a size of at least one dimension of the envelope based on the size of the one or more queued print jobs; commencing printing of the one or more queued print jobs and the envelope; and varying the size of the at least one dimension in response to changes in one or more print jobs in the printing queue.
