Abstract
Apparatus and methods for transforming three dimensional object data are disclosed. In some examples, data representing a three dimensional object is received, the data comprising object property data indicative of at least one attribute of at least a portion of the three dimensional object. The object property data is transformed into a plurality of device independent object property data objects having a common data structure, each object property data object comprising a value indicative of each of a predetermined set of object properties.
Claims20
A system to process jobs for additive manufacture of three-dimensional objects, the system comprising:
- a processing apparatus to receive job data specifying an object to be produced by additive manufacture and generate control data for output to a particular additive manufacturing system to produce the specified object;
- and
- an interface of the processing apparatus structured to receive job data comprising a device independent object property data object, the data object including a listing of values that specify desired attributes of the object to be produced, the listing of values of different desired attributes conforming to a common data object structure that specifies an order of the different attributes specified in the listing.
