Abstract
Examples of additive manufacturing are described. In one example, a method comprises generating print data to cause application of fusing agent to a first region of a layer of build material of an object undergoing additive manufacturing, the first region corresponding to an inner region of an object undergoing additive manufacturing. The print data causes application of fusing agent and detailing agent to a second region of the layer, the second layer corresponding to a middle region of the object. The print data causes application of detailing agent to a third region of the layer, the third region corresponding to an outer layer of the object. Fusing energy is applied to the layer.
