Abstract

A device and method for generating scan data and/or slice data for use in an additive manufacturing process, in which an energy beam is scanned across layers of flowable material to consolidate the material in a layer-by-layer manner to build a part. The device includes a display and a processor. The processor is arranged to determine scan data for slices and/or slices of the part to be built in the additive manufacturing process and cause the display to display scan data and/or slices that has been determined whilst determining scan data for other ones of the slices and/or other ones of the slices from the geometric data.
