Patent number: 10625469Abstract: A controller may be to receive temperature data representing a temperature distribution of at least part of a current layer of build material that is measured by a temperature sensor. The controller may be to determine one or more weighting factors representing a degree of influence of each of one or more previous layers of the build material beneath the current layer on a property of the current layer. The controller may be to identify one or more regions in the current layer based on the one or more weighting factors and based on how the property is exhibited by each of the one or more regions. The controller may be to cause the current layer to achieve a target temperature if the temperature data in a selected region of the identified one or more regions does not match the target temperature.Type: GrantFiled: April 29, 2014Date of Patent: April 21, 2020Assignee: Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Inventors: Alejandro Manuel De Pena, Fernando Juan Jover, Sebastia Cortes i Herms

Publication number: 20190039368Abstract: Examples disclosed herein relate to selecting a 3D printing parameter based on voxel property association and conflict resolution. In one implementation, a processor assigns properties to a voxel of a 3D print object based on a first and second zone including the voxel and a condition of a first property associated with the first zone and a condition of a second property associated with the second zone. The processor may update the assigned properties to resolve conflicts between the properties and select a 3D printing parameter based on the assigned properties.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 26, 2016Publication date: February 7, 2019Applicant: HEWLETT-PACKARD DEVELOPMENT COMPANY, L.P.Inventors: Jun ZENG, Scott WHITE, Federico MARTINEZ, Ana DEL ANGEL, Gary J.
