Additive manufacturing object conductivity

Abstract

Some examples include an additive manufacturing method for controlling electrostatic discharge of a build object. The method includes receiving data related to a build object, the data including conductivity data, selectively depositing a first portion of a printing agent onto a build material layer in a pattern of an object layer of a build object, the printing agent being electrically conductive at a predetermined dosage, the first portion deposited at less than the predetermined dosage, selectively depositing a second portion of the printing agent onto the build material layer at an area of the pattern, the printing agent at the area deposited at or above the predetermined dosage, and applying fusing energy to form the object layer, the object layer of the build object including a shell formed at the area and a core, the shell being electrically conductive and the core being electrically non-conductive.
