Abstract
One example of a method includes receiving a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object to be 3D printed and voxelizing the 3D model to define a plurality of voxel layers. Each voxel layer defines a plurality of voxel rows including an initial voxel row. The method includes for each voxel layer: exclusively oring (XORing) a key voxel row with the Initial voxel row to provide an initial delta row; and for each voxel row from the voxel row following the initial voxel row to a further voxel row of the plurality of voxel rows, XORing each voxel row with the previous voxel row to provide a delta row for each voxel row.
