Abstract
In an example, a method is described that includes generating a model for fabricating an object via an additive manufacturing process. The model includes a first region defining the object and a second region defining a sacrificial artifact. The object is fabricated via the additive manufacturing process, using a fusing printing fluid. The sacrificial artifact is fabricated simultaneously with fabricating the object, via the additive manufacturing process, using a non-fusing printing fluid.
