Abstract:

In an example, a method includes forming a layer of build material, processing a first portion of the build material by distributing a print agent using a first distribution pattern, the first distribution pattern having a first print agent dispersion characteristic and processing a second portion of the build material by distributing a print agent using a second distribution pattern, the second distribution pattern having a second print agent dispersion characteristic. The method may further include heating the build material by exposing the layer of build material to radiation so as to cause fusing of the first and second portion.

Abstract:

In an example, a method include receiving a data model of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing at a processor, the data model comprising object property data. A segmentation of a virtual build volume comprising at least a portion of the object into a plurality of nested segments may be derived. A first segment may be associated with first object generation parameters and a second segment may be associated with second, different, object generation parameters. A number of nested segments to be derived may be determined based on at least one of a geometry of the object and an intended object property.
