Classification: CPC B  G  Y | IPC B  G

Claim 0:
1. A system comprising:
a machine readable storage medium storing instructions; and
a processor to execute the instructions to:
receive contone agent maps of a three-dimensional (3D) part and sensed thermal maps from the 3D printing of the 3D part on a 3D printer;
generate layer sequences including the contone agent maps and the sensed thermal map for each layer of the 3D part;
select training samples from the layer sequences having temperature intensity variations within each layer or between neighboring layers;
train a neural network using the training samples to generate a model to predict thermal behavior in the 3D printer;
generate layer sequences including contone agent maps for a part to be printed on the 3D printer;
segment the contone agent maps for the part to be printed for each layer sequence into overlapping patches to generate patch sequences;
apply the model to each patch sequence to generate a patch level prediction for each patch sequence; and
merge the patch level prediction for each patch sequence into a build bed prediction for the part to be printed.
