Generating fluidic components

A device comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processor connected to the memory, the memory storing instructions, the processor to execute the instructions to cause the processor to:
• receive predetermined locations of a fluidic input location and fluidic output locations at a three-dimensional (3D) object model;
• partition the 3D object model into an octree until each of the fluidic output locations is located in a respective leaf node of the octree, a root node of the octree including the fluidic input location;
• generate respective lines between the fluidic input location and each of the fluidic output locations via:
• centers or vertices or faces of respective internal nodes of the octree that include a leaf node that includes a fluidic output location;
• or respective centers or respective vertices or respective faces of leaf nodes of the octree that include a respective fluidic output location;
• replace the respective lines with respective hollow connectors that have respective fluidic resistance selected such that each of the fluidic output locations have a same flow rate or a predetermined flow rate from the fluidic input location to the fluid output locations;
• store, at the memory, data indicative of locations and dimensions of the respective hollow connectors, relative to the fluidic input location and the fluidic output locations, the data for use by a three-dimensional printer to print a part that includes the fluidic input location, the fluidic output locations and the respective hollow connectors;
• and
• control the three-dimensional printer to print the part using the stored data.
