Abstract
In an example of a method for three-dimensional (3D) printing, one or more dispersions is/are sprayed to form a layer including build material particles and a liquid agent. The liquid agent is evaporated from the layer to form a build material layer, and based on a 3D object model, a binder agent is applied on at least a portion of the build material layer.
Claims16
A method for three-dimensional (3D) printing, comprising:
- spraying one or more dispersions to form a layer including build material particles and a liquid agent;
- evaporating the liquid agent from the layer to form a build material layer;
- based on a 3D object model, selectively applying a binder agent on at least a portion of the build material layer;
- and
- exposing the build material layer to radiated energy;
- wherein the build material particles are selected from the group consisting of metal, ceramic, a mixture of two or more metals, a mixture of a metal and a ceramic, and combinations thereof;
- and
- wherein the build material particles have a D50 particle size distribution value ranging from about 15 μm to about 100 μm.
