Zusammenfassung:	A method for carrying out additive manufacture while regulating material consumption, comprises making a digital representation of at least part of an object for printing, the representation comprising a plurality of voxels, and then identifying voxels which are flexible in respect of being able to consist of any one of at least two available materials. A balanced material consumption policy is then used to choose between the available materials so as to ensure that as far as possible, different materials are evenly used and wastage is minimized. Finally the object is printed with the selected materials.
