Abstract
Certain examples described herein relate to apparatus arranged to produce a three-dimensional object. These examples enable color and material properties of such an apparatus to be characterized. This is achieved through the generation of configuration data for the apparatus that maps at least one color property to one or more material volume coverage vector values. This allows for appropriate quantities of materials available to the apparatus to be used to produce colors defined in received object data for the three-dimensional object.
