Summary: | A method of fabricating a three dimensional object in an additive layer manufacturing process, e.g. 3D printing, wherein a three dimensional design of the three dimensional object is modelled as a plurality of three dimensional pixels or vortexes. For every pixel or vortex, at least one parameter is calculated and is used to select a setting for use when fabricating the three dimensional object. The parameter may be a speed or rate at which heat will diffuse away from the pixel or vortex, or a weighted density surrounding the pixel or vortex. The method provides higher quality fabrication of the three dimensional object. |
