Claim 9:
10. The method of claim 1, wherein selecting the first interior model volume comprises:
based on the first upward-facing surface defining a convex profile characterized by an effective tangent inclined from a horizontal plane, parallel to the first model layer, by greater than a threshold angle:
selecting a first set of interior model volumes, in the first model layer, proximal the first superficial model volume;

for each interior model volume in the first set of interior model volumes:
based on the material profile, calculating an exposure energy predicted to yield a three-dimensional polymerization geometry intersecting the first upward-facing surface contained within the first superficial model volume when projected onto the material during the build; and
calculating an error, in a first set of errors, between the three-dimensional polymerization geometry and the first upward-facing surface contained within the first superficial model volume; and

selecting the first interior model volume, from the first set of interior model volumes, associated with a lowest error in the first set of errors.
