Abstract
A method of forming a three-dimensional object includes non-deterministically generating halftone data for portions of a slice of three-dimensional model data of the three-dimensional object that overlap with a previous slice. The non-deterministically generating halftone data may comprise using randomized initialization for each slice of a three-dimensional object.
