    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.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, at least one processor, object model data describing at least part of a three-dimensional object to be generated using additive manufacturing. A model type may be determined from the object model data by at least one processor. When the model type is a mesh model, a volumetric model describing at least part of the three-dimensional object in terms of a plurality of sub-volumes may be determined by at least one processor. When the model type is a volumetric model, the sub-volumes which represent a surface of the three-dimensional object may be determined by at least one processor.

    Abstract: In an example, mesh model data representing at least a portion of a print job to be generated by an additive manufacturing apparatus by solidifying build material is received at a processor. Using a processor and based on the mesh model data, it is validated whether the three-dimensional print job described by the mesh model data conforms with at least one of material-dependent shape constraints and apparatus-dependent shape constraints of the additive manufacturing apparatus. If the result of the validation is positive, the mesh model data is rendered, using a processor for manufacturing the three-dimensional print job by an additive manufacturing apparatus. If the result of the validation is negative, a predetermined action is performed.

    Abstract: A method of processing merged 3D geometric information in a 3D printing system is described that receives a 3D object model file representing at least two physical 3D parts to be printed, wherein the 3D object model file comprises 3D geometric information for the at least two physical 3D parts, wherein the 3D geometric information is encoded as at least one logical 3D part, wherein at least one of the at least one logical 3D part comprises merged 3D geometric information for at least a subset of the at least two physical 3D parts. From the 3D object model file, a separate set of 3D geometric information for each of the at least two physical 3D parts is extracted and each separate set of 3D geometric information is processed individually before printing the physical 3D parts.

    Abstract: In an example a method comprises receiving at a processor, a digital model representing an object to be produced by additive manufacturing. The method may comprise receiving, at the processor, a selected location on a surface of the object, where a label is to be formed. The method may further comprise defining a label displacement map associated with the selected location, applying the label displacement map to the digital model, and rendering the digital model including the label displacement map into voxels for additive manufacturing.
