Abstract
In an example, a method includes forming a first layer of build material to be processed in object generation and selectively applying at least one print agent on to the first layer based on a print instruction for the first layer. Energy may be applied to the first layer to cause fusion in at least a region thereof, and at least one temperature associated with a thermal contribution of the first layer to a subsequent layer of build material to be processed in object generation may be measured. It may be determined if a temperature condition indicative of a departure from an anticipated thermal contribution of the first layer to a region of subsequent layer exists. If such a temperature condition does exist, a print instruction for applying print agent to the region of the subsequent layer based on the temperature condition may be determined.
