Abstract

In some examples, a distribution of values of a property of a given layer to be printed as part of three-dimensional (3D) printing is predicted, wherein the predicting is based on a distribution of values of the property in a previous layer that has been printed as part of the 3D printing. 3D printing of an object is controlled based on the predicted distribution of values of the property of the given layer.
