Abstract: In an example, a method includes identifying, by processing circuitry, a feature of less than a threshold size of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing. In some examples the method further includes determining, by processing circuitry, a first density of a print agent to be applied to build material when generating the identified feature of the object based on an intended flexibility of the feature of the object. The method may further include determining, by processing circuitry, a second density of print agent to be applied to build material when generating another feature of the object.

Abstract: A computing device comprising a controller is disclosed herein. The controller is to receive a virtual build volume defining an arrangement of a 3D object model to be used by a 3D printer to generate a 3D object; identify a portion of a surface of the to be generated 3D object that is expected to exhibit at least one of a set of surface quality defects; and modify the 3D object model by applying at least one texture pattern to a portion of the 3D object model corresponding to the identified portion, the texture pattern to be selected based on the expected at least one surface quality defect, to cause a 3D geometrical modification of the portion that is to at least partially mask the expected surface quality defect of a 3D object generated using the modified 3D object model.

Abstract: A computing device comprising a controller is disclosed herein. The controller is to receive an arrangement of a 3D object a virtual build volume to be generated by a 3D printer; determine an indication of the expected warpage of a portion of the 3D object; and modify the virtual build volume to add at least one anchor structure connected to the portion of the 3D object if the expected warpage is above a predeterminable threshold.

Abstract: In an example, a method is described. The method comprises generating object model data representative of a design of a foot support to be produced for a subject according to the object model data. The design of the foot support comprises: a support portion; and an extension portion extending from the support portion. A type of the extension portion is based on a condition of the subject's foot and the extension portion is personalized to the subject based on at least one measurement of the subject's foot.

Abstract: In some examples, a system receives information that represents a value of a physical property of a three-dimensional (3D) object as a function of a location of the 3D object built by an additive manufacturing machine. The system generates, based on the received information, a map that includes adjustment values corresponding to different locations of a layer of build material, the adjustment values when applied by the additive manufacturing machine to modify data representing a further 3D object to be built by the additive manufacturing machine.

Abstract: Example implementations relate to controlling the application of layers of build material in 3D printing. One example implementation determines a temperature at a predetermined location of a layer of build material following fusing according to an object model, where the predetermined location is dependent on the object model. The application of a new layer of build material is controlled dependent on the determined temperature.
