THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT PRODUCTION

A non-transitory machine-readable storage medium storing instructions executable a processor is described. In some examples, the instructions cause the processor to receive object data representing anobject to be manufactured by an additive manufacturing process. The object data comprises data representing a plurality of planar surfaces of the object. The object data is processed to determine, for each of the plurality of planar surfaces, an angle between the respective planar surface and a plane of a reference surface of an additive manufacturing apparatus. A manufacturing orientation of theobject is selected on the basis of the angles determined for the plurality of planar surfaces and a further property of the object different to the determined angles. 描述了一种存储可由处理器执行的指令的非暂时性机器可读存储介质。在一些示例中，该指令使得处理器接收表示将要通过增材制造处理制造的物体的物体数据。该物体数据包括表示物体的多个平坦表面的数据。处理物体数据以针对多个平坦表面中的每一个确定相应的平坦表面与增材制造装置的参考表面的平面之间的角度。基于针对多个平坦表面确定的角度和与所确定的角度不同的物体的另外的属性来选择物体的制造取向。
