Summary:According to one example, there is provided apparatus for generating a three-dimensional object. The apparatus comprises a build material distributor 104 movable bi-directionally in a first axis to deposit successive layers of a build material on a support, and an agent distributor 106 movable bi-directionally in a second axis different to the first axis to deliver an agent onto selected portions of successive layers of build material. The apparatus further has first and second parking zones 108a, 108b, adjacent to opposite edges of the support along the first axis at which the build material distributor 104 may be parked without hindering movement of the agent distributor 106 along the second axis.
