Claim 4:
5. The method of claim 1:
wherein segmenting the first model layer into the first set of model volumes and selecting the first superficial model volume comprises:
projecting fields of view of an array of pixels, in a projection system of an additive manufacturing system, onto the first model layer; and
selecting the first superficial model volume containing fields of view of a first cluster of pixels, in the array of pixels of the projection system projected onto the first model layer, intersecting the first upward-facing surface of the part model;

wherein selecting the first interior model volume comprises:
selecting the first interior model volume bounded by fields of view of a second cluster of pixels, in the array of pixels, adjacent the first superficial model volume; and

wherein calculating the first exposure energy comprises calculating the first exposure energy cooperatively projected by the second cluster of pixels, of the projection system, onto the material during the build.
