Abstract
In an example, a method includes receiving, at a processor, a plurality of property parameter sets representing attainable property combinations in additive manufacturing and being associated with print material description. A constraint of a first property of the property parameter sets may also be received and a hull of a property mapping resource for use in determining additive manufacturing instructions for generating an object in which the first property meets the received constraint may be determined.
Claims15
A method comprising:
- receiving, at a processor, a plurality of property parameter sets representing attainable property combinations in additive manufacturing and being associated with print material descriptions,
- receiving, at the processor, a constraint of a first property of the property parameter sets;
- and
- determining, by the processor, a hull of a property mapping resource for use in determining additive manufacturing instructions for generating an object in which the first property meets the received constraint.
Processing apparatus comprising:
- a memory storing a plurality of attainable property parameter combinations in object generation;
- an interface to receive an object property specification in relation to a property;
- and
- a mapping resource manager to:
- determine, for the plurality of attainable property parameter combinations, a hull defining a property gamut;
- determine a hull of a modified property gamut meeting the object property specification;
- and
- determine, based on the modified property gamut, a property mapping resource complying with the object property specification.
A machine readable medium storing instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:
- determine, from an object property gamut, a reduced gamut hull in which a property of the object property gamut is constrained;
- populate the reduced gamut hull with a plurality of predetermined attainable property parameter combinations of object generation;
- and
- provide the populated reduced gamut hull as a mapping resource.
