Abstract
A system is provided for processing slice data representing a slice of a three-dimensional object to be generated by an additive manufacturing system. The system includes a processor to perform, when the additive manufacturing system is to generate the slice, a transformation on the slice data based on characteristic data of the additive manufacturing system, the slice data derived from three-dimensional object design data.
Claims19
A system for processing slice data representing a slice of a three-dimensional object to be generated by an additive manufacturing system, the system comprising a processor to:
- when the additive manufacturing system is to generate the slice, perform a transformation on the slice data based on characteristic data of the additive manufacturing system, the slice data derived from three-dimensional object design data;
- and
- based on the transformed slice data, cause the additive manufacturing system to generate the slice;
- wherein the characteristic data is obtained from the manufacturer of the additive manufacturing system.
