    摘要: In an example, a method includes acquiring, by a processor and for a set of locations in a fabrication chamber for additive manufacturing, data identifying a first subset of locations associated with a first level of variability in deformations in object generation and a second subset of locations associated with a second, greater, level of variability in deformations object generation. A geometrical compensation model may be derived to compensate for anticipated deformations in object generation by a first additive manufacturing apparatus. The geometrical compensation model may comprise geometrical transformations to apply to object model data representing at least a portion of an object, wherein each geometrical transformation is associated with a location of the set of locations. The first subset of locations may be associated with geometrical transformations determined based objects generated by a plurality of additive manufacturing apparatus and the second subset of locations may be associated with geometrical transformations determined based on objects generated by the first additive manufacturing apparatus.

    摘要: In an example, a method includes receiving, at a processor, an object model describing a geometry of a three-dimensional object, and determining a transformed data model describing a volume containing a modified version of the three-dimensional object as a plurality of categorised contiguous, non-overlapping sub-volumes, wherein the modified version of the three-dimensional object includes a surface offset. Determining the transformed data model may comprises categorising the sub-volumes by defining a first region by determining an area swept by an offset operator when the offset operator is swept around a boundary of the sub-volume and defining a second region, interior to the first region, and indicative of the closest approach of the offset operator to the sub-volume when the offset operator is swept around the boundary. Intersections between a surface of the object model and at least one of the first and second region may be determined. When the surface intersects the second region, the sub-volume may be categorised as interior to the three-dimensional object; and when the surface intersects the first region and not the second region, the sub-volume may categorised as spanning a boundary of the three-dimensional object.

    摘要: Certain examples described herein relate to generating a Neugebauer Primary area coverage (NPac) vector. In certain cases, an operating state of a printing system is determined. A first NPac vector is obtained, having an initial set of Neugebauer Primaries (NPs). The initial set of NPs comprise a NP that is not implementable with the operating state. A target set of NPs is determined on the basis of the operating state, the target set of NPs being implementable with the operating state. A second NPac vector is generated, the second NPac vector having the target set of NPs.

    摘要: An example method includes obtaining a geometric compensation profile characterising a relationship between a location of an object within a first fabrication volume having a first depth of build material and a geometrical compensation to be applied to a model of said object. The method further includes determining that a first object is to be generated in a first build operation having a second fabrication volume which has a second depth. The method may further include determining a geometrical compensation to be applied to a model of the first object by: determining a first offset of the first object from the top of the second fabrication volume; identifying the geometrical compensation value associated with a location having the first offset from the top of the first fabrication volume; and determining the compensation to be applied to the model of the first object based on the identified geometrical compensation value.

    摘要: Certain examples described herein relate to updating a lookup table for an imaging system. An initial lookup table for an imaging system is obtained, the initial lookup table mapping between a first color space and a second color space. A smoothed version of the initial lookup table is also obtained. Further obtained are color property values corresponding to nodes of the lookup tables that map from a vertex-to-vertex axis of the first color space. The color property values are derived from measurements of test areas rendered by the imaging system. For a target node of the smoothed version of the initial lookup table that maps from the vertex-to-vertex axis, a pair of nodes in the initial lookup table are selected based on the obtained color property values. A mapped value in the second color space for the target node is updated, based on an interpolation of mapped values for the pair of nodes in the initial lookup table. The mapped value for the target node is constrained based on a color property value for the target node.
