    Abstract: Described is an apparatus, a method and a 3D printer to: based on a first representation representing a 3D object to be printed using a build material, the object comprising a body having a surface area and a volume, determine a parameter representing a relationship between the surface area and the volume of the body; determine a scaling factor using the determined parameter; and generate a second representation representing the 3D object in which the 3D object is scaled according to the scaling factor.

    Abstract: Certain examples relate to generating output print data representing at least one object. Output print data is generated by performing a geometric transformation on a part of object model data representing the identified region. The object model data represents the at least one object to be printed. The geometric transformation may use a transformation parameter which is determined based at least on the object model data and object property data. The object property data identifies a region of the at least one object and associates it with a selected physical property.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, by at least one processor, object model data describing a geometry of at least part of at least one object to be generated using additive manufacturing. The object model data defines a first geometrical transformation to be applied to the object model data. It may be determined if a second geometrical transformation is to be applied to the object model data. If a second geometrical transformation is to be applied, the first and second geometrical transformations may be applied to the object model data to determine modified object model data. Otherwise, the first geometrical transformation may be applied to the object geometry to determine modified object model data.

    Abstract: A method comprising obtaining an input, wherein the input comprises a three-dimensional representation of an object, the three-dimensional representation comprising a plurality of portions, wherein each of the plurality of portions has associated portion properties, and obtaining printer properties of a plurality of printing devices. The printer properties correspond to at least one feature of the printing devices; and the method assigns each of the plurality of portions to respective ones of the plurality of printing devices by comparing the portion properties with the printer properties, and assigning the portion to one of the printing devices based on the comparison, such that each of the plurality of portions has a respective assigned printing device. Each of the portions are then provided to its respective assigned printing device.

    Abstract: In an example, a method includes receiving, at a processor, object model data representing an object that is to be generated by an additive manufacturing apparatus by fusing build material within a fabrication chamber wherein a dimensional compensation has been applied to the object model data based on an expected object placement position. The method may comprise receiving, from the additive manufacturing apparatus, an indication of an object generation placement position within a fabrication chamber where the object is to be generated and comparing, by the processor, the expected object placement position with the object generation placement position. If the expected object placement position matches the object generation placement position, the method may comprise determining, by the processor, that the dimensional compensation is valid and otherwise determining, by the processor, that the dimensional compensation is invalid.
