Examples of the present disclosure relate to a method for processing three dimensional (3D) models. The method comprises categorizing the 3D models into geometrical characteristic categories, creating a geometrical template corresponding to each category, determining a label placement for each geometrical template, assigning a label to each 3D model based on the determined label placement and assigning a packing position to the 3D models based on their corresponding template. The method is such that some categories comprise more than one 3D model.

Three dimensional model categories

In an example, a method includes receiving, at least one processor, a mesh model for an object, a first transformation matrix to apply to the mesh model to describe a first object for generation in additive manufacturing and a second transformation matrix to apply to the mesh model to describe a second object for generation in additive manufacturing. The method may further include determining, by at least one processor, if the first and second transformation matrices describe transformations which are equivalent in terms of mesh errors and, if so, inspecting the mesh model for mesh errors once for both the first and second transformation matrices.
