Abstract

A system includes a machine readable storage medium storing instructions and a processor. The processor is to execute instructions to receive contone agent maps of a three-dimensional (3D) part and sensed thermal maps from the 3D printing of the 3D part on a 3D printer. The processor is to execute instructions to generate layer sequences including the contone agent maps and the sensed thermal map for each layer of the 3D part. The processor is to execute instructions to select training samples from the layer sequences having temperature intensity variations within each layer or between neighboring layers. The processor is to execute instructions to train a neural network using the training samples to generate a model to predict thermal behavior in the 3D printer.
