    Abstract: In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing system is described. The additive manufacturing system includes a bed moveable in a vertical direction. The bed is to receive a build material that is to form a three-dimensional (3D) printed object. The additive manufacturing system also includes a build material depositor to deposit the build material on the bed and a build material spreader to traverse across the bed to spread the build material. The additive manufacturing system also includes a solidification system to selectively solidify a layer of build material. The additive manufacturing system also includes a controller. The controller is to lower the bed by a first amount in preparation for receiving build material and iteratively raise the bed in increments in between passes of the build material spreader across the bed, wherein an increment is a portion of the first amount.
