According to one example, there is provided a system for generating a three-dimensional object. The system comprises a carriage to move bi-directionally along a first axis relative to a support platform. The carriage is to receive, or have installed thereon, a plurality of modules each to perform an operation from a set of operations to generate a layer of a three-dimensional object. The system further comprises a controller to cause relative movement between the carriage and the support platform along the first axis, and to control, during the relative movement, operation of the modules to perform the set of operations in a predefined order.

Generating a three-dimensional object

An example apparatus is described which comprises a rotary member supported by a bearing. A rotary encoder is registered with respect to the rotary member to rotate therewith and a sensing arrangement is registered with respect to a surface of the bearing. The sensing arrangement is responsive to rotation of the encoder to generate a signal indicative of a rotational characteristic of the rotary member.

Rotary apparatus

A method for controlling a print device by generating a firing encoder signal from varying one or more characteristics of a reference signal where the one or more characteristics are varied based on at least the position of a print medium at a reference time. The firing encoder signal is used to synchronize firing of at least one print head of the print device after the reference time.
