    Abstract: In an example, a method includes obtaining a compensation model characterising a relationship between a location of an object within a fabrication chamber of an additive manufacturing apparatus and a geometrical compensation to be applied to a model of said object, wherein different geometrical compensation values are associated with different locations. In some examples the method further includes determining a magnitude of a dimension parameter of each object of a set of objects to be generated in a build operation. The method may include determining a spatial arrangement of objects to be generated within the build volume, based on the magnitude of the dimension parameters and the geometrical compensation values for an intended location of object generation in the spatial arrangement.

    Abstract: An example method includes acquiring a model of an object to be generated in three-dimensional object generation which is segmented into a plurality of object model sub-volumes, each sub-volume representing a region of the object which is individually addressable in object generation. Object model sub-volumes within a first depth of an object model surface are defined at a first resolution and object model sub-volumes beyond the first depth are defined at a second resolution, and the first resolution is a higher resolution than the second resolution. An object generation model is applied to the object model to determine at least one predicted dimensional deviation of the object in object generation. A geometric adjustment to the segmented object model may be determined to compensate for the predicted dimensional deviation by adding and/or removing at least one object model sub-volume defined at the first resolution.
