    Abstract: A three-dimensional object is generated using a build material and a printing agent. A visible property of one of the build material and the printing agent is identified. The other of the build material and the printing agent is selected based at least on the other of the build material and the printing agent having a given visible property. A three-dimensional object is generated using the one of build material and the printing agent having the identified visible property and the other of the build material and the printing agent having the given visible property. The selecting is based at least on the identified visible property and the given visible property having a desired visible property relationship. An apparatus for building a three-dimensional object is also disclosed.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to substructures for three-dimensional objects are described. In an example, a processing apparatus includes: an interface to receive data representing a three-dimensional model object, the data including object model data and object property data; a mapping module to map received data to a print material coverage representation; a halftone module to provide halftone threshold data; and a substructure module to define a substructure for a three-dimensional object to be generated, the substructure specifying in at least a region thereof a consistent lattice structure and a variable material distribution. The apparatus is to apply a substructure and a halftoning to the print material coverage representation to generate control data for the production of a three-dimensional object having the substructure.

    Abstract: A system is provided for processing slice data representing a slice of a three-dimensional object to be generated by an additive manufacturing system. The system includes a processor to perform, when the additive manufacturing system is to generate the slice, a transformation on the slice data based on characteristic data of the additive manufacturing system, the slice data derived from three-dimensional object design data.
