    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 includes receiving, by at least one processor, object model data describing a first object to be generated in additive manufacturing and an intended object generation location of the first object, wherein the intended object generation location is a relative location within a generic fabrication chamber. The method may further comprise determining, by at least one processor, a location for generation of the first object in a first fabrication chamber, wherein the first fabrication chamber is an intended fabrication chamber of object generation. The location may be an absolute location in the first fabrication chamber which corresponds to the relative location within the generic fabrication chamber.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes obtaining an indication of a deviation from an expected dimension of at least one dimension of an object generated using an additive manufacturing apparatus. A geometrical compensation model to apply to object model data for generating objects using additive manufacturing to compensate for anticipated deviations in dimensions may be determined from the obtained indication. The geometrical compensation model may comprise a first value to apply to object model data to modify a specification of an external dimension; and a second, different, value to apply to object model data to modify a specification of an internal dimension.
