Abstract

A method for preparing virtual build volumes for the manufacture of three-dimensional objects. The virtual build volume represents an actual build volume over which one or more objects are to be built. The method includes the steps of: (a) receiving one or more object models, the object model(s) defining the intended dimensions of each of the objects; (b) applying a transformation to an initial virtual build volume to create a reduced virtual build volume smaller than the virtual build volume; (c) positioning the object model(s) within the reduced virtual build volume; and (d) applying an inverse transformation to expand the reduced virtual build volume to create an expanded virtual build volume including expanded object model(s); wherein each of the expanded object model(s) is larger than the respective object model(s).
