In one example, a method includes receiving, at a processor, a first data model of an object to be generated in additive manufacturing. A virtual build volume including a representation of at least a portion of the object may be segmented into a plurality of nested segments including a central segment and a peripheral segment. Segmentation of the virtual build volume may include determining a dimension of the perimeter segment based on at least one object geometry and / or a predicted object property. |
