Abstract
Certain examples described herein relate to a three-dimensional threshold matrix. The three-dimensional threshold matrix may be used for three-dimensional halftoning. In one example, values for a predefined two-dimensional threshold matrix are shifted with respect to a third dimension to provide the three-dimensional threshold matrix. In one example, the three-dimensional threshold matrix may then be processed in association with a digital representation of a three-dimensional object to output discrete material arrangement instructions for at least one production material. The instructions may be used to control an additive manufacturing system to produce the three-dimensional object.
