1. A method comprising:
receiving, by a processor, a three-dimensional (3D) object model file representing a plurality of physical 3D parts to be printed, the 3D object model file comprising 3D geometric information for the physical 3D parts, the 3D geometric information encoded as a logical 3D part, the logical 3D part comprising merged 3D geometric information for the physical 3D parts;
extracting, by the processor and from the 3D object model file, a separate set of 3D geometric information for each physical 3D part;
individually processing, by the processor, the separate set of 3D geometric information for each physical 3D part, comprising individually computing an adapted compensation factor for the separate set of 3D geometric information for each physical 3D part; and
causing, by the processor, the physical 3D parts to be printed using a 3D printing system in accordance with the separate set of 3D geometric information for each physical 3D part as has been individually processed.
