Abstract
According to examples, an apparatus may include a processor that may access information about a screen device having pores, in which the screen device is to be employed to filter liquid from a slurry composed of the liquid and material elements to form a part from the material elements. The processor may also access information about a main body, in which the main body is to support the screen device during formation of the part and has a plurality of openings that are larger than the pores in the screen device. The processor may identify, based on relative locations of the pores and the openings, pores that are to be removed from the screen device to increase uniformity of liquid flow through the pores across the screen device and may modify the accessed information about the screen device to remove the identified pores from the screen device.
