Original Abstract Submitted
In some examples, a system applies a first adjustment factor to a first representation of a first lattice structure of a first three-dimensional (3D) part to generate a first adjusted representation of the first lattice structure, the first representation comprising a representation of beams of the first lattice structure without a thickness. The system applies a second adjustment factor to a second representation of a second lattice structure of a second 3D part to generate a second adjusted representation of the second lattice structure, the second representation comprising a representation of beams of the second lattice structure without a thickness. The system adds beam thicknesses to the first and second adjusted representation to provide respective digital models of the first and second 3D parts that are useable by an additive manufacturing machine in building the first and second 3D parts in respective build regions of a build bed.
