Abstract
In an example, a method includes receiving, at a processor, a data model of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing. A virtual build volume comprising a representation of at least a portion of the object may be segmented into a plurality of nested segments comprising a core segment and a peripheral segment. Segmenting the virtual build volume may comprise determining a dimension of the peripheral segment based on at least one of a geometry of the object and an intended object property.
