International Classification:

B22F 1/105
B33Y 70/00
B33Y 10/00
B22F 10/14

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a method of three-dimensional (3D) printing a 3D printed metal object. The method comprises selectively jetting an alloying agent onto build material. The build material comprises a first metal and the alloying agent comprises an alloying component that forms an alloy with the first metal. The method also comprises selectively jetting a binding agent onto the build material; binding the build material to form a layer: the alloying component is incorporated in the 3D object in a predetermined arrangement that comprises a first and a second region. The first region comprises the alloying component and the second region is substantially free from the alloying component or comprises the alloying component at a lower concentration than the first regions. The disclosure also relates to a kit that may be used in the method and a 3D printed structure that may be formed using the method.

Abstract:

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing system is described. The additive manufacturing system includes an additive manufacturing device to form 1) a three-dimensional (3D) printed object and a container structure to form part of the 3D printed object. The container structure expels a payload when a predetermined condition is met. The additive manufacturing system also includes a payload distributor to place the payload in the container structure. A controller of the additive manufacturing system controls formation of the 3D printed object and the container structure.

International Classification:

B22F 10/14
B22F 10/39
B22F 1/00

Abstract:

The present disclosure relates to a method of three-dimensional (3D) printing a 3D printed object. The method comprises: selectively jetting a marking agent onto a first region of build material, wherein the build material comprises at least one meta and/or ceramic; selectively jetting a binding agent onto at least a portion of the build material; and binding the build material to form a layer; such that the marking agent is incorporated in the metal part in a predetermined arrangement that forms a detectable marker in the 3D printed object. The disclosure also relates to a multi-fluid inkjet kit for 3D printing.

Abstract:

In one example in accordance with the present disclosure, an additive manufacturing system is described. The additive manufacturing system includes an additive manufacturing device to form a three-dimensional (3D) printed object. The additive manufacturing system also includes a controller to form a 3D printed capacitor on a body of the 3D printed object. The controller does this by controlling deposition of a conductive agent to form electrodes of the 3D printed capacitor and by controlling deposition of a dielectric agent in a dielectric region between the electrodes of the 3D printed capacitor.
