Abstract
In an example, a method includes acquiring, at a processor, a data model of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing, the data model comprising object model data representing a slice of the object model as a plurality of polygons and object property data comprising property data associated with the plurality of polygons. The slice may be inspected from a predetermined perspective at a plurality of discrete locations. It may be determined if each location is within a face of a polygon, and if so, the object property data associated with that polygon may be identified and associated with that location. The slice may further be inspected at a plurality of discrete locations along an edge of a polygon, the object property data associated with each location may be identified and associated with that location.
