    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: Examples of the present disclosure relate to a method for packing three dimensional (3D) models. The method comprises identifying a plurality of sections of each 3D model according to curvature profiles of the sections; associating a build material layer thickness to each section of the plurality of sections, whereby each associated build material layer thickness is one of a set of pre-established build material layer thicknesses; packing the plurality of 3D models according to each associated build material layer thickness, whereby packing comprises spatially arranging at least some 3D models in the 3D virtual build volume according to one or more criteria, such that at least some of the sections of different 3D models associated to a same build material layer thickness are arranged in a same region of the 3D virtual build volume.

    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.
