OBJECT GENERATION TEMPERATURE MEASUREMENT

In some examples, a method comprises sensing a temperature of a plurality of sub-regions of a portion of a layer of build material in an object generation apparatus. A frequency distribution of sub-region temperatures may be derived therefrom and it may be determined whether the frequency distributi...

Zusammenfassung:In some examples, a method comprises sensing a temperature of a plurality of sub-regions of a portion of a layer of build material in an object generation apparatus. A frequency distribution of sub-region temperatures may be derived therefrom and it may be determined whether the frequency distribution is bimodal. If the frequency distribution is not bimodal, a build material temperature zone is identified. If however the frequency distribution is bimodal, a fusing build material temperature zone and a non-fusing build material temperature zone are identified. The method may further comprise determining a nominal temperature of the at least one identified temperature zone.
