Abstract
Example implementations relate to compensating for shrinkage in 3D printing. One example implementation receives an object model to print a corresponding object in a three-dimensional (3D) printer, the object model having a plurality of surface coordinates. A plurality of dimensional modification compensation factors are determined dependent on respective locations within a printing volume of the 3D printer. The object model is adjusted at the plurality of surface coordinates using respective dimensional modification compensation factors depending on the location of the surface coordinates within the printing volume in order to generate a printable object model.
