Abstract
A method comprising dividing a build model comprising an object model arranged within a virtual volume into cross-sectional layers along a vertical axis. The layers represent layers of an additive manufacturing process. A set of base layers is identified with each of the base layers comprising a flat bottom surface of the object model. A base characteristic is assigned to the set of base layers. A set of bulk layers is identified which excludes the set of base layers. A bulk characteristic is assigned to the set of bulk layers. An additive manufacturing apparatus is instructed to build a build cake according to the build model, layers and assigned characteristics, so a fluid agent is deposited at a first rate for the set of bulk layers having the bulk characteristic and a second rate, slower than the first rate, for the set of base layers having the base characteristic.
