Abstract
In an example, a method include receiving a data model of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing at a processor, the data model comprising object property data. A segmentation of a virtual build volume comprising at least a portion of the object into a plurality of nested segments may be derived. A first segment may be associated with first object generation parameters and a second segment may be associated with second, different, object generation parameters. A number of nested segments to be derived may be determined based on at least one of a geometry of the object and an intended object property.
